ゼミ旅行

I am really confused, about which one would be the best choice to vote for; all options sound and seem to be just exciting. I would rather visit Minamata, since it is worldwidely known by the disaster, and moreover i would be told the experiences of those ones who suffer from Minamata disease (besides i personally wonder that it would make me rethink many things in own life). On the other hand, a sightseeing to Amakusa would be also a good trip, because i am rather interested in the Christianity history in Japan, since it, undoubtedly differs from the the western countries.

Relationship in Brazil


Wow It is sort of complex to give my opinion about how men tend to behave, in order to know women or maintain a relationship in Brazil. I mean, Brazil seems to have a homogeneity in relation to men's behavior, however there are also levels of "herbivors" and "carnivors"; sometimes they are well balanced.
That is to be said Brazil has a population wich was formed by a majority of portugueses, italians and spanishes, thus, men will tend to be such as carnivors, but as i had related before, they are not in the same behavioral level. It will certainly depend on which environment they were raised/grew up.

On the other hand, i could say that when it is compared brazilian and japanese men, i particularly feel such a big difference. Japanese men tend to be really reserved and seem not to demonstrate their feelings, otherwise brazilian men almost all the time, will try to show up their feelings (as a matter of fact, brazilian women prefer men owning such a characteristic.....i do not know deeply why!)
I think i am centered on the average, might be an influence of my half-blooded personality (part japanese, italian, spanish and so on..) hahahaha...just kidding...sometimes i think that being such a deep carnivor results on annoying situations to women, if only i was a deep herbivor could be really boring, since women almost everytime wait for men to take initiative to show up feelings. In sum, i consider myself well-behaviorly balanced. And i tend to see things like, each other, men and women need to be balanced, and also give up something to make it possible.

CULTURE IN BRAZIL - CULTURA NO BRASIL - ブラジルでの文化

It is a little complicated to describe deeply what is culture in Brazil. I have decided to write about this issue on this topic just because even for me, as a brazilian citizen, it is kind of fun.

First i could say that in Brazil, as many people think, the spoken language is portuguese and not spanish, despite the country be sorrounded by spanish spoken countries.
Well, what is culture in a country formed by a miscegenation of europeans, africans, asians and also native indians? There is in fact, a sense of culture that, Brazil is a country of all. The majority of foreigners obviously know SAMBA or CARNAVAL (CARNIVAL), however there is rather more than these things.
If you go to northern and northeast parts of Brazil, you will find African and native indians influences, in the southern and southeast parts, europeans ans asians in a deeply way. All of them contributed to enrich Brazil's - typical foods, religion, clothes, hair styles and the language accent.
To complement, i would say that in relation to the language, brazilian portuguese differs from Portugal portuguese in the sense of brazilian portuguese suffered hard influences by native-indians languages.

Bytheway, big problems in Brazil are related to drug dealers (since they are concentrated in really big and close-neated slums - mainly in Rio and after in some regions of Sao Paulo), and the inaccessability to a qualified education at public schools. For this reason, there is such visible unevennes among those who can afford private schools and those who can not afford them, when they apply for entrance examinations in Universities, for example.
