I'm so proud of saying that I'm one of the 5% of the Brazilians who speak English; I love the English language and since from the beginning of my studies I kept on my mind that it would be the second one of mine,as it has been for over 33 years (I'm 52,and I began studying English when I was 16); I have also been to Miami, Florida, and Pittsburgh,Pa...where I have even lived in.

That's awesome! My wife and her sisters' all taught each other and it's inspiring. I'm on year 2 of Portuguese and even though I am nowhere near fluent my ear gets a little better every day.

Você sente orgulhoso de ser um dos poucos que falam inglês como se isso o torna-se superior? Eu falo inglês e meu desejo é que todos os meus irmãos também pudessem falar, não me sinto orgulhoso mas humilde o suficiente para acreditar que esse deveria ser um direito de todos. Nosso país só será melhor quando as pessoas pararem de se achar melhor que seu próximo.

@@keepwalkingdude Que ta parar de militar? É difícil aprender uma nova língua e mais ainda fluentemente, se sentir orgulhoso por uma conquista que, principalmente nesse caso, demanda tempo e muita força de vontade, se fosse seguir sua logica, um doutor em matemática não deveria se sentir orgulhoso por ele ter lutado, estudado e suado pra ter um doutorado ao invez de ficar comentando em feitos de outras pessoas que assim como você, lutaram pra saber o que sabem Eu estou querendo acreditar que você interpretou errado a fala dele e achou que ele disse que ele etá orgulhoso de ser só 5% e não de fazer parte dos 5%, e se ele estivesse no seu lugar, duvido que ele não gostaria que os irmãos dele não falassem inglês só para a porcentagem continuar em 5%

@rafaelschipiura9865 Год назад

Tucker, just so you know, the law in Brazil says that if you fix the house you're renting, you can take what you paid out of the next rent. You do have the headache of fixing stuff just like you owned the place, but not the obligation to pay for it. I also know in many places rent is done"under the book" and what the law says doesn't apply, but even then, knowing this can be useful to negotiate.

@sangroncito7551 2 года назад

Yes, Brazil has been cheap recently, but I remember back 2010 - 2013 when the real was at 1.5 to the dollar, and living in Brazil was like living in London or Singapore (price-wise). You can't count on the real being undervalued forever.

@americaninbrasil 2 года назад

I don't. I read "Dancing in the Devil in the City of God" where the author talks about living in Rio in 2012 and how it was comparable to her living in San Francisco. I consider myself very very fortunate right now. And also the reason why I check the dollar on a daily basis.

I left Brazil when I was 26 yo, lived in Houston-TX for more than one decade and moved to Switzerland about 15 years ago. I still have a little house in Pernambuco ( North East) at a gorgeous beach, just in case.

@hr3178 10 месяцев назад

You should really look into your rental contract, because if anything goes wrong, it is not always for you to fix and pay for it. So check your contract, ask someone who knows. I know renters in Brazil that call their landlord if a lightbulb doesn't work and they have to come to fix it (or send someone).

I find so strange when I see gringos sayings that the water is not drinkable, I live in the south and I never ever had any problem with faucet water

@americaninbrasil 2 года назад

I've lived in 3 states, Amazonas, Rio de Janeiro and now Santa Catarina and I couldn't drink the tap water in any of them. I have been bedridden from accidentally drinking the water. Other people have said the same thing in regards to drinking the water but why on earth would you risk it if everyone (Brazilians) are telling you not too and the only times you have you had to get a new toilet?

@christianwilliam1167 2 года назад

@@americaninbrasil maybe it's not the water the problem, I can't vouche for every state but they put fluoride and maybe your body is not accustomed to the level of flouride in our water, I know that some small cities or old buildings and large cities have problems with the water pipe system but I never heard of some family member or friends "some that live in santa Catarina as well" saying that they became ill after drinking tap water. My only red flag for fluoride is when the water is visible opaque but that's happen when the water tank of the house/building is dirty and flouride accomulate on the bottom. I'm not dismising the times that you became ill and if I gonna to reccomend you something is those 'mud jars' that filters the water it's most common in grandma households it's a slow filter but it's very effective

Thanks! I brought my Cannon and my GoPro Hero 9 and have used them very regularly where I live and a little in Rio. I would say it all depends on where you are going. I live in a city of just under 100,000 and I take my gopro with me a lot of places, even when I don't know the area. But that's just because I feel comfortable here. I would be way more cautious if I lived in Rio or other big cities. Where do you plan on going?

@robertotomas Год назад

I’m dubious about the toilet paper. I lived there for two months just before Covid and I knew to expect this. I did see places where there was a bin and a sign, in both Santos/São Paulo and Rio (Laranjeiras and zona sul) but I would opt to try a different bathroom. I figured that if I found no different solution I would just do what I had read, but most of the time the next place I went to had no bin. My apartments (I had two) never had a bin within arms reach of the toilet, no sign and no instructions despite being Airbnb. I figure some older places, smaller developments, favelas, even if gentrified, and such may need it. In general I would say maybe 20% of downtown locations even have bins in stalls, except the standard one you might find at the entrances

@floralheart Год назад

Hi Roberto, all the old constructions in Brazil plumbing was done with narrow pipes and water tanks without pressure, so they do not support the flow of toilet paper without clogging the plumbing, there's the need of a bin. The new or renovated buildings were adapted so in that case we are able to throw toilet paper in the toilet. But there's new buildings that still have the old mentality.

@robertotomas Год назад

@@floralheart aah that makes sense. I would strive for newer buildings when I was in doubt, I’m sure. Part of Rio’s charm is all the old buildings (I’m here now actually, for the month of December), it’s probably a lot more than 20%. But also, some old buildings, like the one I am staying in @ Santa Teresa , have been retrofitted with pressure. It actually surprised me just how much pressure there is! Way more than back home, it creates a strange effect in the flush where the center of the water is stable but all the perimeter goes down.
