short report...

It's been a lot of time I don't write! Just because I've got just a few time with all the great visits...

Well, in Brazil want it or not we always listen the news that Europeans are not so keen for friendships, that they avoid talking to you in the streets if you need help, they don't talk in the markets to discuss the price of a product. I have no idea where these ideas come from, maybe some not so friendship-keen Brazilian.

After all this time living here and there I realized that people are not that bad. They do listen to you if you need help in the streets, they even brought my sister to the shop she asked directions to here in Geneva!

Another day I was in the supermarket with my Hungarian friend and her 9 month-old baby waiting in the queue to pay. And a lady that looked very European for me was 'amazed' with my friend's baby who almost started eating the cat food. She promptly opened one of the cookies she was buying and asked if she can give one to him. Here in Europe is totally different, you can't touch or play somebody's else baby without asking for permission before, differently from home. The baby loved the idea of the cookie rather than the cat food.

Once my sister who recently had arrived from Brazil was complaining that people don't talk to each other on the streets. I don't really understand what she meant with that because I also don't talk to strangers out of the blue. Then what she was missing happened! She was waiting for the bus to come home when an huge African guy started to talk to her in French. She said sorry sir, I don't speak French. Ad the guy went on in English. He said he thinks she is very beautiful and invited her to go to his country and stay at his mansion and while visiting around. She said sorry sir, I can't I don't have money. He said, African people are polite, if they invite someone, they pay everything, humpf! She said she was sorry again but she has a boyfriend (not true!), but he ended up getting her email address just for them to communicate later in case she changes her mind.
So, since that day on she stopped complaining about the unfriendly europeans! This is how we learn!
Ah, yeah, I forgot to say. He wrote an email to her saying that when she is ready she can come to visit him!

Love at first sight?
