BRAZIL - Another huge country which is quite different from Germany. And once again I have to say
that I fell in love with the country. The happiness, openness and friendliness of Brazilian
people is just overwhelming. Even though sometimes it gets a bit too much. I want to describe
the country where football is a religion a bit, but it should be mentioned that I didn't see the
entire country. The things I describe are just my personal experience.
Although football is a religion in Brazil there are many people who can't play at all and in the
university where I studied I was amongst the best players. Another wrong stereotype is that all
Brazilian women are absolutely pretty. As far as I can say they get prettier the nearer you are
to the beaches - haha...
Brazilians like to socialise. Not only in the real world but also on the internet. Like Facebook
is used in the rest of the world Brazil has its own social network called ORKUT. In the
small city where I lived I was threatened in the beginning to get an account in this social
network. By the time I learned the advantages of this social network especially for setting up
meetings.
One thing which has to be mentioned about Brazil is the incredible good food. I absolutely love
brazilian food even though I gained 10 kg whilst living there. Everyone who has the opportunity
should go to one of the BBQ-restaurants where you can get all-you-can-eat with meat which is not
available in Europe. Surprisingly good is the Pizza and I would even say it can definitely
challenge the Italian original.
The last three months of my stay I traveled through South America. I went from the west coast
to the east coast and back. I saw the Machu Picchu, Rio de Janeiro, jungle, carnival and plenty
of other cool places and events. People who use Google Earth can see the places I went to:
