@Lukmi,
Looks like that my friend, but there are lots of POrtugese people living in Luxembourg. After the Luxy's it's the seconds biggest amount of people living there. In the South, Esh, it's like living in Portugal... and in summer the air fills up with the smell of roasted sardines on the bbq.... Lovely
