I'm going back to Brazil halfway this month, so I won't be here for the nukes LMAO.
But seriously now, though, Trump is trying to sue counties?? Republican party members are holding back people from voting?? This is the sort of bullshit I feared would happen!
True, it is the other languages' actual name for cookies.
I actually wonder where did bolacha even come from. LOL It's not on the other romance languages' vocab.
And ooh, so you're from way up North? Wow, that's pretty cool. I've never been past Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and more specifically the city of Sao Paulo, the city of Rio de Janeiro, and the smaller cities surrounding Sao Paulo, like Indaiatuba and Campinas, where my mother's family's from.
And Rio is cool, only warning I tell you is to watch out where you step, because no one picks up after no one there, the poop-per-square-meter count's pretty high. (LOL)
Right? It's an awful word too, sounds weird. Like 'bergamota' for tangerine, who even came up with that word
I've been to quite a few states and cities, my favorite was a smaller town in SP, I don't remember the name, I think it was Socorro? On our way there from Guarulhos there was an awful lot of capybaras crossing the street, I thought it was hilarious!
It's alright, my husband was born there and I'm counting on him to not lead me into a warzone or something, haha
I tend to wander and get lost very often, it would be really bad if I accidentally entered a favela
IKR? It just sounds like an insult.
LOL wow, that sounds like the stories my father used to tell about where he lived when he grew up, but he's from Minas. Well, he's Chilean, but his family moved to Formiga, so yeah, really small town, smaller yet when he was growing up, and they had some events with capybaras and sucuris and even a panther at a certain point??
And I mean, well, Rio... Mostly you can tell where the favelas are. They are very contrasting with the city structure. But there are some areas, like on the downtown, where it's more difficult to discern. I am trying to remember the area where we lived that had a hill right behind us, like right behind the building we lived on, and that was like, an older favela, with more structured houses... Also, the drug selling points are quite spread, although if you ignore them they ignore you, ya know?
Ohh, were you born in Brazil? Your family seems to be all over the place!
Wtf, a panther?? That's so unfair tho, the older generation used to have fun with wild animals and dangerous stuff, while we couldn't even play after dark. My father had a pet jaguatirica (Charlie) that wasn't very tame, she used to chase the neighborhood kids and scratch the shit out of them, my grandparents thought it was funny.
Ooh, I only went to Rio once when I was 5, so I'm not very familiar to how things are over there, I'm aware this "to be considered a citizen of Rio you must go through a rite of passage which involves getting shot 5 times in a year" thing is blown out of proportion by the media, but yeeeah it's always good not to mess with people that own guns.
My hubby's family lives in Recreio, it looks pretty chill compared to Copacabana and the likes.
