50$00 por algunos Imperiais? En 1990? Admiravel ... Smile

Yap, that were the good old days before the Euro kicked in to save our sorry a**es from yet another bankrupt... the prices more than doubled in less than 6 months after the introduction of the Euro in Portugal...

For instance, a espresso coffee (small cup of strong black coffee that in Lisbon city is known as "bica" and in Porto city as "cimbalino") had a stable price of 50 Escudos (about 0,25 Euro) in 2001. With the move to the Euro, the price was raised to 0,50 Euro in a matter of months.

I believe you are ready to travel to Portugal, as your Portuguese is improving, contrary to my German... Just a small improvement:
Instead of using "50$00 por algunos Imperiais? En 1990? Admiravel ... Smile"
You may use: "50$00 por algumas Imperiais? Em 1990? Admirรกvel ...
"algunos" and "En" are acceptable if you speak Spanish, but any Portuguese will understand it Smile
