Lisbon. After all the cheap wine of South Africa drunk on board the plane, first thing you notice is him. Christ the man is a character. Perhaps the character, the one who has all the heart and soul of the city you visit.

It's right there, in that seven foot tall man. All the sloppiness, all the charisma of Portugal.
