My Town I was born in Rio de Janeiro and lived there until my 5 years. However I did my 6 year birthday in Resende and I am here so far. My town is not so big but here we have many factories like Peugeot, Volkswagen, Nissan, Hyundai, etc. The population increased vary fast but the town remained the same. So, the traffic is hard. On the other hand, Resende has much qualities like the distance to Rio (that is something about 2 hours) and the distance to São Paulo ( more or less 3 and half) and both are the most important Cities of Brasil. Furthermore, we are in a coutryside, so that we are often in contact with the nature. Near here we have a National Park that was the first National Park in Brasil. The name is "National Park of Itatiaia" - or in Portuguese "Parque Nacional do Itatiaia"- (maybe you can find on internet). In addition there is a mountain that is called "Pico das Agulhas Negras" that we can see from Resende, and I have to tell you : is the best view I have ever seen!!!
