  Foreigners in Brazil - how does it feel?

  I'm living in Germany and we're having quite some discussions how it feels to live as a foreigner in Germany.

  Just out of curiosity - how does it feel to live a foreigner in Brazil? I can't tell, I'm from Brazil myself ;O)

  sou suspeito em dizer,mas..

  Uma vez que ninguém tenha respondido, eu poderia dar um palpite baseado em opiniões de amigos e conhecidos (estrangeiros). Primeiro que eles amam a natureza presente neste país; acham os brasileiros bem receptivos além de muitos deles não falarem inglês; acham os brasileiros bem alegres apesar de tanta violência e más noticias salientadas na mídia "internacional"; o que mais reclamam, aliás, a única coisa que ouvi de reclamações foi a do salário baixo, isso ainda justificável tendo em vista que estavam acostumados a receberem em moedas mais expressivas que o real. Espero ter contribuído com algo.

  Perspective from the 9 month marker

  I think Junior was right, as an outsider, I view Brazilians as friendly and open. I have been welcomed into many homes for dinners, parties and even free room and board. If you know Portuguese, brazilians are not shy to ask many questions, compliment you and just bate papo.

  i feel like I am treated super well, and I wish that Americans treated foreigners the same. However, it still can be lonely as a foreigner in a different country and friendships do not come that easily.

  Hope this helps!
