Brazil flagcvcardozo
The place I call home I'm not sure about what foreigners think about Brazil (some people may think we live with no clothes or we suppose stay laying in the beach all day long) but I'll tell you: you're not so wrong. Not even fully sure, of course. I'm new in iTalki.com and I was reading the "writing ideas", so I decided to write about the city where I live in: Porto Alegre (you can always take a look at Wikipedia for more information). I moved here last year and it has been amazing so far. Porto Alegre is not an usual touristic city, and it isn't as know as Rio de Janeiro and Florianópolis, for example. But, in my opinion, it's as important as these cities. We say we have the most incredible sunset in the world, the most beautiful street in the world, and, you know, I'm not sure if we are sure, but I know there're some chances. The true is that I don't know how could I put this city in words, but, just as São Paulo, we have the world inside the town. We are made by portugueses, chineses, uruguayans, indians, africans... We are more than the world supposes. What can I say but "come to visit us"? Porto Alegre waits for you all with no beach, but one amazing lake (or river - no one knows what is Guaíba for sure) where you can, surely, enjoy one of the most amazing sunsets in the world, just like I already said. By the way, if you didn't understand a dot of what I said, here is a video that shows the city better than I could (I guess): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCh4h1aYxtw&feature=related Just as we usually say here: Porto Alegre é demais.

The place I call home

I'm not sure about what foreigners think about Brazil (some people may think we live with no clothes or we suppose stay laying in the beach all day long) but I'll tell you (this): you're not so wrong. (Who is not fully sure? ex: I'm not fully sure, You're not fully sure, etc..)) Not even fully sure, of course. I'm new in (on) iTalki.com and I was reading the "writing ideas", so I decided to write about the city where I live in I'm living: Porto Alegre (you can always take a look at Wikipedia for more information). I moved here last year and it has (or it's)  been amazing so far. (mmhmm I wonder why :D hehe)

Porto Alegre is not an usual touristic city (or Porto Alegre is not the usual touristic city) , and It isn't as known as Rio de Janeiro and Florianópolis, for example. But, in my opinion (or from my perspective) , it's as important as these (other) cities. We say (or It's said)  we (or Porto Alegre has..) have the most incredible sunset in the world (and) the most beautiful streets in the world.

and, you know, I'm not sure if we are sure, but I know there're some chances.  <--It's a little trivial, you can simply write 'At least this is what I (we) believe' :D Or you can decide to include that, it's up to you. (Up to you=your decision)

The true truth is that I don't know how could I I could put this city in words, (or I don't know how to put this city in words,..) but, just as São Paulo, we have the world inside the town. We are (we're) made by portuguese, chinese, uruguayan, indian and  africans people. We are more (add adjective here, such as 'varied') than the world supposes. What can I say but "come to visit us"? Porto Alegre waits for you all (or all of you)  with no beach, but one amazing lake (or river - no one knows what is Guaíba for sure), where you can surely enjoy one of the most amazing sunsets in the world.  Just Like I already said. (or As I said (or wrote!) earlier)

By the way, if you didn't understand a dlot of what I said (wrote) , here is a video that shows the city better than I could (describe)  (I guess)<--Trivial :D

Just As we usually say here: Porto Alegre é demais.  (Neat :D)
