Your job sounds great! <br />P.S. I had no idea your sister got married!

When I go out with Kevin we get a bunch of kids hovering around us, because I speak to him in English. Last time this happened was at his school. They kept wanted me to speak "normal", i.e. Portuguese. It bothers me, but I have gotten used to it. My sensation in BH, different from Rio was people seemed to want to "out" you - identify you as foreign, not for any real reason than because you are and they figured it out. Must be multiplied by 10 in a small town.

It's not like it in the USA (at least places I had been to) where people don't care what you look like. People accept the differences. In Brazil, people are so judgemental, and they think being pretty is to look like tv actresses, skin and bones. <br /><br />Well, just so you know, I think you are just beautiful !!!<br /><br />And yes, you do have mermaid eyes!<br /><br />Oh, I agree with Corin... the best way is to tell her how pretty she is! Maybe she will start liking you and not bother you anymore.Nanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05802492142900190123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654143697024684509.post-66635428062185933242010-05-03T20:45:52.630-03:002010-05-03T20:45:52.630-03:00I wouldn't mess with little Brazilian thugs-in...I wouldn't mess with little Brazilian thugs-in-training; they can be wicked vicious.
