Life in Brazil (by Sebastian)



I am in the state of Minas Gerias in Brazil. It is super hot. The temperature in the shade is usually 30 degrees celsius, and in the sun, it has been as hot as 42! I thought 25 was hot in Vancouver. It has been very dry, and just after we arrived, there was a brush fire that my family helped to put out with branches.


It is a hard life here, and I wonder how my dad survived. I miss Canada, and our comfy couch. But, Brazil is like a candy store. My favourites are doce de leite, puddim do leite, and biscoito (leite is Portuguese for milk).


There are weird bugs here, called cigarra, that make loud humming noises. There are a lot of flying termites at night. I hate it when they fly in my dinner. We are on a farm and there are chickens, chicks, dogs, cats, and kittens.


The photos you see are of the fire and the kittens who live in the outdour biscuit oven.
