Question

Another world?
Nowadays we live in London, but we used to live in Florianopolis, in the
state of Santa Catarina. The biggest difference is the weather - in the UK it's
usually cloudy or raining, so we normally spend a lot of our time indoors. In
Brazil, on the other hand, it's usually hot and sunny, so we used to spend
most of the time in the garden or sitting on the veranda. Our eating habits
have changed too; here we don't usually eat so much red meat (because it's
so expensive), whereas in Brazil we used to have a huge barbecue almost
every weekend. We also used to eat rice and beans nearly every day, while in
Britain people normally eat more pasta and potatoes. On the other hand,
some products are cheaper in Europe, so we tend to buy more good wine and
cheese than we used to in Brazil. Another thing that's different are the bath-
rooms - here we usually have baths, whereas in Brazil we used to have show
wers. The day starts later here as well; in Brazil my children used to start
school at 7.30, but here they usually start at 9.00. On the other hand, in Bras
zil they used to finish at 1.00, whereas in England all the children finish at
3.30. The weekends are not the same either; in Brazil we used to go to the
beach all the time in the summer, while in London we tend to go to the park
To be honest, there are advantages and disadvantages to living in both coun-
tries, and I feel lucky to have experience of both worlds!
