Expat experience

I am currently living here

USA

Apr 2014 - May 2014

Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil

Have visited Brazil twice; seeking rich life experience and opportunities related to my abilities; played with a few Brazilian musicians

Although it's a big generalization, I really liked Brazilian people. Found them to be down-to-Earth, genuine; I found that that they will go out of their way to help.

Graffiti all over the place in major cities, making buildings and neighborhoods ugly.
