There’s something interesting I’ve noticed during my time in a Lisbon, Portugal. It’s not entirely universal, but adhered to widely enough to feel like it is... A shop is open if the door is open.pic.twitter.com/xb3kFndQtC

There’s something interesting I’ve noticed during my time in a Lisbon, Portugal. It’s not entirely universal, but adhered to widely enough to feel like it is... A shop is open if the door is open.pic.twitter.com/xb3kFndQtC
Only today, in my walk between breakfast and my coworking space, I noticed at least a dozen shops like this. Door is open. Shop is open. I didn’t walk by a single place which was open where the door was shut. It didn’t matter the type of business.pic.twitter.com/bdnft7jtH3
Occasionally the door is just *slightly* cracked, like these. That’s because it’s “cold” (58°F right now in the evening), or because of the noise. But you won’t find the door entirely shut.pic.twitter.com/mvcQeYQIFH
This seems to be primarily because the exterior doors don’t have doorknobs. There also are few deadbolts. The doors have locking mechanisms which lock when shut. So you have to unlock with a key or keypad from the outside, or from the inside via a button/switch like this.pic.twitter.com/72vKAgqhMK
Occasionally I’ve even seen the glass of a shop have “We are open!” written on it, because it needed to be closed for some reason. Some girls in a cafe closed this door because it was cold, and the owner walked over to open it again because how would people know they were open?pic.twitter.com/6BWnrVmUWd
I love this. It’s a simple signal of a status. And telling of the culture (just how things are) and the climate (moderate, no A/C or heat). It’s somehow both subtly *and* overtly welcoming. I think I’ll have a difficult time readjusting. Or I’ll just be back soon.pic.twitter.com/T7bmy87zxZ
Which reminds me... Lisbon at sunset is pretty perfect too. Just after this photo I found an open door and grabbed a glass of wine.pic.twitter.com/NYxOjKqbaE
This is my most favorite photo ever. It has all the feels.
