You know you're in brazil when...

Heres just a quick entry about things that happened this week in list format

You know you're in Brazil when:

-a personal question from a friend about my favorite soccer team turns into a heated across-the-room argument. The teacher actually stopped teaching to input his own opinion. Then the the principal came in not to stop them all, but instead to preach about how good his team was

-traffic stops for ten minutes in order for an ostrich to cross the street

-the most exciting part of your day is watching the novella’s (soap operas) that are on every night

-multiple teachers use the World Cup's group chart to teach us lessons

-you are at the farmers market and you see a huge fight between ten twenty or thirty men, and know immediately that it was started on account of their preference for opposing soccer teams

-the most popular flavor of popsicle is an unpronounceable fruit from the Amazon

-you can cram fourteen people into a car that is supposed to hold only five, pass by three different cops, and the biggest reaction you get from them is a laugh, a smile, and wave

-you can see groups of toucans flying together from your backyard if you happen to be awake early enough
