Logement

Type de logement: En famille

Organisé par: Université d'accueil

Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison

Pourquoi?

Because It's cheap and although the families were extremely hospitable It's soo cheap to rent an apartament, so why not have your own place?

Commentaire personnel

It was easily the best experience of my life. The university arranged that I tutor some of the teachers there in english so they were able to be updated on words and practice their knowledge with an actual american , they paid me for this, thoug it wasn't much it kept me out on the weekends at the bars and clubs. Also I met several people at the Univ. studying media, and thru them I was able to arrange several interveiws that were later broadcasted on subjects such as "foreign influence", " outsiders thoughts on Brazil", and " exchange students in Brazil" . Also I was able to do several translations over the radio for some of the popular american songs down there, Bush,Metalica, that sort. If you like alot of attention and make freinds easily , You'll get it in Brazil!!!!!

Si j'avais su

Maybe a little of the language, I bought a pocket Dictionary 1 week before I went to Brazil, that's how much I studied.

I was able to acually pass as a Brazilian when I went to Rio and the other cities, I picked up everything except political lingo and the real technical stuff, which I didn't consider necessary. But I did it good enough to write a portuguese essay and get an equivalent of an A-, That was very satisfactory!!!

Commentaire personnel

Nah, it all generally worked out fine, oh yeah Visa is better than Mastercard, someone told me the opposite, but wasn't true I used my visa-backed debit card more easily than any Mastercard.
