In the past few weeks I ran into tons of surprisingly and funny questions with regards to Brazil as a country and to Brazilians as "wait a minute" its people. Mostly of these questions were made by coworkers, colleagues and some friends around this flat connected globe. Questions such as "Is it legal to walk naked in Brazil ? ", "Have you ever seen a Tiger or Elephant?" or even "Could you help me out with Spanish?". What ?, WHAT and Come on ? these were usually my first reaction to these questions along with a wide smile of course.
Despite the fact that nowadays with the advent of the technologies anyone can easily get informed about almost anything as fast as a Jaguar running after a chubby habit "I swear I am not mean" there are some people who prefer to be considerably more skeptical and perhaps because of that inevitably they end up making questions that from 50 thousand foot view sounds silly but then after some hours of Hot Yoga and reflection under a mango tree turns out to be just questions that somewhat were planted into their minds.
However I see this communication problem as a great opportunity to help you my friend to see and understand much more about my country including cultural aspects such as religions, musics, foods and much more, but how?HOW? I am going to present all of this in three parts (Blog's Post) that will be published every Friday Afternoon. In the first part (next Friday) I going to Talk about Brazil, in the second part I will talk about São Paulo state and in the third one I will talk about my city Sorocaba.
I really want to make a good job for you dear Friend and I am inclined to believe that it will not be possible alone, so I am counting on you to get it done, so if you already have any doubt aboutany topix related to Brazil you can post in the comments or just skype me at bruno_cardoso_da_silva. I will be glad to include your question and your name in the next Blog Post. I almost forgot, "de cabo a rabo" is an idiomatic expression that mean "from top to bottom", see you next guys.

Differences between Latin American and Spanish regarding to accents in language and way of life are evident. Is it the same with Brazilians and their European brothers?

Oi Bruno,
Caramba, man, I just can't wait for your next blog, especially about Sao Paulo where I used to live with my parents, but since then much water has flown down the Paraiba river.
I am madly wagging my cabo awaiting further threads about Brazil and all the changes that have taken place since I left it back in the mid 50's.
