The biggest Christmas Tree in Europe, english version

What happen was that I was in Belém (Lisbon) at the Europe's biggest Christmas Tree inauguration, yes I repeat Europe, because when we do this kind of things we do it BIG, and I turned to a turist:
- Hey, in your home country you don't have something like this, right? The biggest in Europe man, the BIGGEST!
And then the guy turns to me saying: because this and that, and in my country we prefer to spend money in other things, p.e. to avoid that water pipes blow and therefore cause harm to thousands of people.. more this and that! And me, a dude that has an easiness in the exposition of arguments, didn't turn back and I said to him right away:
- The Biggest in Europe man!! Are you deaf?
Then he starts talking about I don't know what, because in his country, when it rains the river side zones don't get floded, and that perhaps it was better that, instead of the tree, the money should have been used to prevent this situations. Well, I started to get annoyed and I said to him:
- Hey man, are we going to have problems? I am here displaing arguments that... are great, and you come with this fucking talk of you don't know what... I don't even want to start speaking in the huge lunch on the bridge, nor in the Santas parade, or else you wouldn't know where to hide... The dude start saying something related to tunnels that are not finished and I don't know what more, so I just turned my back on him. Because when I see these dudes who cannot accept the superiority of a country and still they speak, speak, speak, speak and they do not say anything at all, I get upset, of course I get really upset.

Just like in america...

This morning, on my way to DTU, something that I only have seen in movies happened.

I was biking aside the highway, the way I normaly take, when 2 police cars passed in the highway, quite fast, heading the same way as me. Nothing new until now, but after 2 minutes, in the opposite direction, on the nearest track of the highway to me, 4 police cars were coming with all the blue lights and buzzers on. As normal, all cars moved aside as much as they could... all except one. An old Citroen just moved in front of the nearest police car hindering them to pass... so it was easy to see that the police was chasing that car!! The driver seemed to be a young guy from... Turkey! There's a lot of them here and they are the main cause of problem. 10 seconds after more police: 2 cars and a moto. And just behind them, another 2 cars and 2 motos. In total, 8 police cars (2 of them civil cars, detective style with the blue lamp on top of it) and 3 police motos. It's hard to belive that all this police was chasing only that old Citroen... specially when the 4 cars in citroen's tail were new Mercedes. In america, I would say this is just normal... taking it from movies. 1 car heading Mexico or Canada border and all the police force after it, crashing against every obstacle, keeping the emotion until the end, where the bad guy dies in an amazing explosion due to an incredible crash against a huge truck full of gas. Therefore causing the complete destruction of a nice quiet neighborhood.

I don't know the end of this story.. maybe later today in the TV news, or in tomorrow's newspapers. But I was wondering how long that old Citroen could last, and if all the police cars were persuing only this car. And why not, what started all this??

By the way, Porto beated 2-1 Chelsea last night in the Dragon's Stadium! We are still in the race.. be aware! And today is HOLIDAY in Portugal! Coincidence, or not!
