Beatlover
I must be the only person in the world with 3 Brasillian brother-in-laws(sister is married to one too) and NONE of them like Football!
Que????
(sorrisos)That's one on me, all of the people I have met there and also the Brasilian-Americans that live in Orlando are football crazy.They do not understand American Football too tight.My wife ask me "why do the guys fall down all the time and then the play stops?".I just tell her that i will explain it later,but never do.
In anycase, (while we get our Beavis and Butthead on),haha...how's your flow with the culture, Beatlover? For me..my portuguese/Brasileiro style is pretty decent,my accent is paraense because I talk to her most of the time and She is from Belem.They over extenuate the S sound at the end of almost everything.They didn't understand me
in the south but up North I had no problems.
I eat more of the
filhote and other fish based dishes,can't mess with the way they cook beef.The sodium levels are nuclear.My wife loves Forro and Sertanejo musicas.Just think of it as danceable mariachi and country/western in a different language.I smile...it's tolerable,but I got Curtis Mayfield in the headphones.
I can't Samba for s**t,but I can Salsa/Merengue my ass off and She hates that,
because it's Spanish...and you know Brasil (very prideful)and not too good in kinship to their neighbors Argentina, Uruguay,Equador,etc.So she'll tolerate the Johnny Ventura,Tito Puente,etc.
What else...hmm..I had some early problems with her brothers,
because i couldn't get down with the way they treat women sometimes.Brasil, like Japan is male chauvinistic.I'm from liberal ass New York and grew up Black,angry and militant.So women's,civil,human rights are huge with me and my family.
I got lots more but i'll pass it back to you! haha
