Quanto mais Canada, melhor!

So guys, What's up??

I do have a lots of posts to bring to the blog, but I don't have enough time and this is my vacation, so I am very lazy.

Well, the blog should've had about three posts before this one, but they are kinda big so I decided to do this one first because it is not so big.

I took some pictures in Downtown with the exchange student model of Medicine Hat. I know she's gonna love this title. Well, I think you know who I am talking about. Her name is Allicia!!

I am going to avail this post to talk about the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train.


​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​CP's Holiday Train brightens communities and warm hearts for the 17th year


Every year, the Holiday Trains travel through dozens of communities, raising food and cash donations for North American food banks.
The Holiday Train program is encouraging people attending events to bring heart healthy donations. Heart health education and awareness is a tenet of CP's community investment program, CP Has Heart, which focuses on improving the heart health of men, women and children in communities across North America.
The "Canadian Train" travels west across Canada finishing its journey in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. The "US Train" visits communities across the U.S. Northeast and Midwest, and returns back to Canada for shows in Saskatchewan and Alberta. ​

So the last stop of the train is here in Medicine Hat.

What the people from around the world know about Brazil

Hey guys! What's up??

Well, the idea to write about what the people that live in others countries know about our country is not new. I have been thinking about that since I was in Brazil. I have been watching some videos on YouTube about this theme and I've seen the people don't know so much about the 5th biggest country in the world. I wasn't believing, but when I got stared to do this search I was surprised and I made sure that those videos on YouTube were true. The most of the people that I had been talking didn't know easy things about Brazil.

So, I have been doing these questions for them:
  • What is Brazil?
Yes this is kinda idiot.
  • What continent is Brazil located?
Just unimaginable the answers.
  • What language is spoken in Brazil?
I don't know what happened, but when I arrived here NOBODY knew that in Brazil we speak Portuguese. Everybody said Spanish. Yes guys, the most of the people here thinks in Brazil the language is Spanish.
  • What's the capital of Brazil?

  • What is the first thing that comes in your mind when you think about Brazil?

  • What are the colors of the Brazilian flag?
For a little time I thought the Brazilian flag's colors had changed. Hahahaha

  • Do you know any Brazilian food?
Unfortunately nobody here knows how delicious is Coxinha and Brigadeiro.
  • Do you know any famous person in Brazil?
Of course everyone knew this question!!


So I asked those questions for some people that are from around the world. We confess they surprised me.
