Minas Gerais
A place I love to vacation is
Minas Gerais, Brasil. I love this state because both my parents are from there
and I got to see the whole state since they are from very opposite side, one is
from the city and one is from the country side. I would love to be in the city
and on the weekends go to the country side. A flight to Brasil cost around $800
to $2000. When going you must bring clothes to last you such as shirts, pants,
underwear, socks, sweaters, sneakers/shoes and jackets. I have a house in the
city and stay there and when I go to the countryside I stay with my grandma in
her farm. Since I speak Portuguese I don’t need a translator; however if you don’t
speak Portuguese I’d recommend a tour guide and a translator. There is a lot of
places to go in Minas. In the city Belo Horizonte the third biggest city in
Brasil you can go watch soccer games at the Mineirao stadium or the Independencia.
There are many historical sights to be seen such as Ouro Preto known to be the center of the greatest gold and silver
rush in the Americas (In 1933 it was declared a national monument and the
surrounding region a national park). Also Diamantina
which is a diamond mine today. Being and experiencing these places is much
different than reading about them and looking at pictures. Theses’ places are truly
beautiful. When you travel there you won’t need as much money as you thing
because the exchange is 1 to 2, for every one dolor you get two reais. When you
want to eat food varies from price but the quality will always be there, from
the little pub at the end of the street to the luxurious restaurant you will
always get great food. The drinking age is 18 so don’t be surprised when you
see baby faced people at the bars. If you could afford it the best thing to do
is to ride a taxi everywhere but if you can’t, for sure rent a car to get
around. Well this was a quick overview
on how and what you could do when traveling to Minas
Gerais, Brasil

Wow Tiago, Brazil seems like a super sweet place to live. Is there a lot of competitive soccer that you can get involved in out there? Also how easy would it be to pick up on the language if you were to ever move out there? Portuguese seems like a pretty hard language to learn. I heard that when going to brazil there are a lot of people that will try to pick pocket you. Is this true? And with the exchange rate for the American Dollar, buying a house thee must be a piece of cake. It must be pretty great to be able to go anywhere and receive quality food no matter how much you pay. This is so different from America where generally a person has to spend more money to receive a higher quality meal. Also the atmosphere at the soccer games there must be insane. How nice would it be to live in a country where soccer is respected more than basically everything? Are there any academy programs out there that would be an option to play? Brazil seems like a pretty chay place to live and i see why you chose there as your dream destination.
