..best in your new home?
Reliability – it takes you longer to get to know the Swiss but afterwards, if you need help it's like in the military – they are there for you standing in a row. Brazilians are quick to say, "Come by 20: 00". When you arrive and ring the doorbell, nobody is home. They don't mean it in a bad way, they're simply not reliable. They don’t take things seriously.
Sports / Winter sports - I would have liked to have learned, but I have no patience. Seven times I got on those stupid boards (skis) and each time I fell. No, I decided, never again. I like sledding and ice-skating. BUT - I skate with the blue barrel or Penguin that the little ones use. In Rio we have also an ice rink. It’s crazy. Its 40° and we skate in shorts and T-Shirts.
Miss the Most from Brazil? My family and the food.
Favorite Food from Brazil - Coxinha de Galinh – Chicken in pastry
