Yep ! I get the impression that Portugal became wealthy through it's colonies because Portugal itself didn't have a lot apart from farming, but they didn't always spend the money wisely or re-invest it to keep the wealth flowing. But I've always found the Portuguese to be really nice people whenever I've met or worked with them 😀
