Since Moni is having a great time in Brazil with her family, I wanna talk about our country and how we define ourselfs as BRAZILIANS!!!
>>You Know You're Brazilian When...
* You like Guarana better than Coke.
* If someone tells you to be at a certain place at 1:00 pm, you don't show up until 2:30 or 3:00 p.m.
* You know who Xuxa is because you have learned the alphabet with her.
* Your entire family goes to grandma's house on Sundays for a big family get together....even when you guys see one 
another everyday.
another everyday.* BBQ means steak, sausage, chicken wings, pork,sirloin, rice,( farofa, molho,...)
*You are the loudest person in the room.
*You travel to Brazil and instead of taking a suitcase with all your stuff, you take presents for the entire family, the dog, the neighbor, not to mention the old/used clothes that you take just in case someone needs it or that you take to donate and make more room to bring back guarana.
* You live in Florida, New York, New Jersey,Ohio or Massachusetts (there's exceptions of course).
* You leave your house spotless when you have people coming over and you tell them"don't mind the mess".
* You understand but does not speak Spanish, but when you say a word in Portuguese no one understands you.
* You can dance better than anyone in the room.
* Your jokes are always about Portuguese people or people from Argentina. (sorry Paola)
* You take soccer too seriously.
* You know a lot about Samba, funk and Pagode.
* You`ve studied the history of almost every country.
* You eat rice and beans at least 7 days a week.
* Everyone thinks you're everything but Brazilian.
* You go to a bar and ask for salgadinhos with guarana.
* You know the years that Brazil has won the World Cup and you LOVE to talk about it.
* You wear havaianas..a lot! * You know how to play volleyball, footvolley and handball.
* You know what it's like to buy liquor without an ID.
* You know how to party, and if the party isn't over after 5am...its not a party!
* You know what feijoada and pave are.
* Your favorite drink is Guarana, Groselha or Caipirinha.
* You dress up to go to the supermarket.
* You are Brazilian and you never give up!
Voce e brazileiro e nao desiste nunca!

LOOOL yes... After almost having been run over by a car and having been bitten by a crab and gone to the hospital, Monize's brother is still alive. She'll be back next Sunday by the way!!! yay!
Jessie, that's so brazilian! I found Guarana, Farofa, torrada Bauduco and Coconut Water at Jungle Jim's kkkk I love that place! This is Ellen here by the way kkkk And we had a so Brazilian Feijoada here yesterday, me, Talita, Lara, Vanessa, Lais, Geisi and Paola. We missed you and Monize a lot =(
I qualify as Brasileiro acho que sim....
ReplyDeleteOnly exceptions are that my house is rarely spotless, I do prefer coke over guarana (but I prefer real juices, especially maracruja e acerola to sodas), I'm not currently eating rice and beans every day, and I'm neutral about football (okay, that last one disqualifies me...) but the rest is true. Especially the boxes of presents when you to to brasil!
Very good....................
ReplyDeleteThere´s nothing better than being brasilian.
That´s true: "money que é good nóis num have", but even so it´s good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
