Win Wenders - Lisbon Story

[heavenknowsffs]

Mutuals tugas vocês tão a ver esta merda 💀

Basicamente -> Existe um festival em guimarães pequenino que se chama r*ck in rio febras (btw também existia um na minha aldeia chamado rock in rio - PORQUE ACONTECEM NO RIO E SÃO DE ROCK) enfim continuando eu sei que é marca registada etc e não se pode usar o nome não sei quê

Ambos são/ eram festivais solidários com entrada livre mas i guess continua a ser contra a lei na mesma. O de quintanilha foi avisado há uns anos (2013?) e mudou para Quintanilha Rock. O Febras foi avisado agora e emitiram um comunicado muito engraçado a dar roast ao R*ck in Rio Lisboa e os caralhos responderam mas de uma maneira tão cringe que nem posso comentar 😂

"The man who came to know many cities"

Did you know there is a local tradition regarding Odysseus in which the king of Ithaca was the founder of Lisbon/Lisboa the capital of Portugal 🇵🇹?

This information was brought to me by my dearest friend @artsofmetamoor (go and check her awesome art!)

If you are a fan of Iliad and the Odyssey check out this amazing design of a high fantasy armor inspired by Mycenaean designs and the description of Odysseus's helmet!

So the myth goes as follows;

At some point during his wandering about (and funny story how I cannot find a definitive answer if that happened during the events of Odyssey or if it happened during the redemption journey which Odysseus had to take after and if the latter is true it would be hilarious if Poseidon decided to be petty af and decided to throw one last storm to Odysseus sending him to yet another detour for no reason 🤣🤣🤣🤣)

Anyways during one of these wanderings Odysseus found himself to Portugal to the area of the current city of Lisbon. He and his men became enamored by the beauty of the location and impressed by the fertility of land and the strategic position, Odysseus decided it would be a good spot to set a new city; spreading the culture to the area and at the same time create a good and strategic spot

However as it happens to Greek mythology in general and to Odysseus in particular, the area was inhabited by a beautiful goddess. The goddess was half human and had a serpentine tail. And, surprise surprise, she falls in love with Odysseus

(I swear to God this guy is a goddess magnet 🤣🤣🤣🤣 like...dude! 🤣👍)

The goddess wanted to make Odysseus stay with her and become her husband. Odysseus of course was eager to return home to his wife (or extra careful because he learnt his lesson with beautiful goddesses "asking" for him to stay! 😅😆) he decided to leave another man in his place (that guy must have been either the luckiest guy in the world or the most unlucky take your pick hahahaha)

When the goddess discovered the substitution she became furious and tried to catch the fleeting ship with her tail. When she filed to do so, she threw herself in the sea and died of sorrow for her beloved one run away

(Goddammit Odysseus the Heartbreaker! 😂😂)

From her huge body were created the seven hills of Lisbon (and I assume the lucky or unlucky guy Odysseus substituted himself with was left with a nice new city all by himself lol 😆)

Yet another unknown story regarding mythology that would be nice to be heard more! Hehehe see? This dude just went to yet another place hahahahaha 😂 🤣 😆

...progress update??

...hiiiii

so! the project is not dead, i just have to contend with: family stuff; work stuff; failing technology; adhd; finetuning the direction i want the story to take and some of the coding mechanics of that; the fact that twine won’t redownload to my computer (see above: failing technology).

and chief among these is that the current demo will most likely need to be edited/reworked - it’s been a while! and part of that is that i want to make sure the coding is tightened and streamlined; part of that is that i want derya to be introduced in the lisboa update, even if it’s only in one variation, rather than holding off until later - they are there for reasons that will become clear later; and part of it is also just that my writing has changed! or, at least, it feels like it’s changed. so while i was definitely happy with what i put out at the time, i need to make sure that i’m giving my best as it currently is.

Day 1 Lisbon in 32,729 steps

Oh my! I am feeling weary after a big day of walking. I slow climbed into a hot bath when I returned at about 8.30pm.

The weather was not as cool as I anticipated, a lovely high of 17° and only a little sprinkle of rain at around 5pm.

I started the day at the hotel buffet and had my first Pastel de nata. It actually tasted quite good, but I do understand why the one I had later in the day at Manteigaria was award winning. It was served warm and the pastry was lighter and the filling creamier. It may have helped that I purchased a shot of Espinheira with it (it was basically "I'll have what she's having"!)

I first walked to the glamorous El Corte Inglés department store to see what the fuss might be about. I ended up using the WC and buying a bottle of water! I'm thinking the summer sales will be on when I return to Lisbon at the end of May and my suitcase might be a bit lighter.

I then headed up and down a few hills to a recommended cafe, Comoba, for a local latte (galão) before moving onto lunch at Time Out Market Lisboa for lunch. The codfish croquette was recommended at Croqueteria. It was the tastier of the three I had (cuttlefish with squid ink and tuna were the other two), with a side of sweet potato crisps, creamed spinach and a glass of rose for €12. I met Mary and Elaine from Kentucky (now retired, but former work colleagues) who were sitting beside me also trying to work out the process for ordering. They are on a short trip, river cruise up the Duoro River to Salamanca, Spain and return. Elaine totally got me when I mentioned my "gap" years, particularly the one sans men. And they reported they were very happily retired (although Elaine did say she was volunteering for 15 hours per week). They seemed to also keep themselves occupied with several short overseas holidays.

For the afternoon I'd pre-booked the 2.5+ hour Sandemans New Europe walking tour with Nuno (originally from the north of Portugal, he moved to Lisbon in 2012 to pursue acting). The itinerary included the central district of Bairro Alto and a visit to the oldest bookstore in the world (Bertrand), several cool views of Lisbon, including from the Santa Justa Elevator, a history lesson on the Great Earthquake of 1755 and the intriguing story of the peaceful Carnation Revolution and the end of the dictatorship on 24th April 1974 and lots of food recommendations.

I ended the evening with dinner at Sebastião, pre-booked on the Fork app. I ate a whole roasted octopus (the waiter assured me it was ok to eat everything) with sautéed turnip tops and sweet potato. It was a large meal and quite tasty (aside from a couple of gritty bits), served with a lovely glass of red he recommended that wasn't on the menu. The waiter also gave me a very basic Portugese language lesson, apparently it's mostly a nasal language and the words I have been using are all a bit wrong. Bring on those classes this week in Alvor.

My favourite human contact today was with Mary and Elaine from Kentucky.

Best food - definitely the Pastel de Nata at Confeitaria da Gloria.

Best beverage - the latte at Comoba.

Most interesting story - the Carnation Revolution and how recent that really was and Nuno's perspective that over the past 10 years "Portugal" is acknowledging and taking responsibility for all the wrong doings from the past and changing the language to describe this, eg instead of "slave trading" saying "human trafficking".

Does anyone wanna hear of my awesome and totally dangerous adventure through this touristic spot?

Ofc ya want, and even if you don't you're clearly mistaken and therefore I'll share the pictures anyways

First, context.

Went to Sintra, this small village near Lisboa. It's a historical city, with lots of monuments ranging from all periods of history. But most importantly, it's surrounded by the Sintra mountain, a densely wooded area. Mix the unique views, stories and the whole range of architectural styles, it's easy to understand why people place in it an aura of mystery and magic.

So I went there but in specific to Quinta da Regaleira, a old villa built in between late XIXth and early XXth centuries by a rich dude who was a massive fan of everything occult. So he commissioned his gardens to be filled to the brim with strange places, symbolic structures and whatever symbols you could add. It worked, this place is heavily connected to the freemasons and other similar groups.
