Where do you live?
My hometown is Piracicaba, an interior city of the federal state of São Paulo (Brazil).
The name "Piracicaba" means "the place where the fish stops" in Tupi language (Pirá -> fish; syk -> to stop; aba -> place). This therm refers to the river falls, that block the migration of the fish upriver to procreate, called "piracema".
The city counts with two of the most important public universities of the country: USP (Universidade de São Paulo) and UNICAMP (Universidade Estadual de Campinas - Odontologia), besides the private ones.
Every year, Piracicaba hosts the "Salão Internacional de Humor" and other cultural events.
A curious fact: our accent and dialect became public immaterial heritage, also called the Caipiracicabano dialect.
Therefore, my homeland is the best for me.
