The two most common things I’m
told:
“You’re eyes
are so beautiful.”
While there are others of the caucasian persuasion,
they rarely have light colored eyes.
“You’re tall.”
Never in my life have I considered myself to be tall,
I am of the average height for American women.
However in comparison with Brazilian women, I am tall.
The two strangest things I’ve
been told or asked:”
“Your eyes
are like the sun. So……nice.”
Sometimes people will try to talk with me in English
because they can tell that I’m a foreigner and want to practice their
English. However, sometimes it is quite
limited and the conversation is awkward and funny.
“So every
American keeps a baseball bat under their bed, right?”
Oh thank you Hollywood for the vast array of
stereotypes you have produced.
The two funniest questions I’ve
been asked:
“So, do you
like live with vampires?”
Many Brazilians confuse Transylvania
with Pennsylvania.
“Do you have
plastic bags in the US?”
I was helping my counselor fold the plastic bags into
little triangles for easy storage when she asked me this. Maybe she was just trying to make
conversation, I don’t know. But in any form,
it gave me the giggles.
