In the last post, I said something about transportation. Recently the Brazilians revolted because some problems related with it. The bus-fare increased in Sao Paulo about R$0,20 what is like U$0,10, and it caused a revolt in Brazil. It was not the real motive like the some other countries are thinking. There are a lot of problems related with transportation, but also there are a lot of worse problems related with education an health in the country. The people are irate with a range of issues including the country's  high cost of living and lavish stadiums projects for the World Cup. The corruption is another big problem. Actually, Brazil is with several problems and the population don`t know for what fight! The government has a highest salary and approves laws that allow them don't work all the week, or allow them don`t be judged like a common person if they make corruption! While they stolen the public money, they make lavish stadiums that will not be use after cup, spend more money than they spend in twenty hospitals, and increase the taxes to make the population  cover the costs with the World Cup! It is nonsense! The Brazilians have reason to revolt and go to streets ask for improvements.

     Today I will talk about the transportation. There are a lot of differences between here and Brazil. The buses that circulate in the city has a cashier who take your money and let you pass through a roulette. Here you can put your money in a machine, and there are no obstacle to block you before you pay. In Brazil, the buses are all the time full, with people standing. Here the drivers are polite and wait you seat down to start with the bus. In the other hand, I don`t know if it is only in Morgantown, but the cab`s service is terrible here. You need to wait for a long time after you order one, and more than once, there were other people, people who I didn`t know, in the same cab, with who I needed to share the space. It never happen in Brazil, and there, you can find a cab in each corner! Its ease to find a cab there!

This weekend I went to Pittsburgh, and I Knew other goods things. I visited the Tanger outlet and bought many things! There are many good brands there for cheap prices, and you do not need to pay taxes! Taxes also are different here: in common stores here, if you see the price in a cloth for example, this price is not the real price that you will pay because they will add the taxes. In Brazil the taxes are already included in the price, and you never know how much you are paying for taxes, but usually it is a big percentage of the product, what make the products more expensive than here. A computer for example, is the half  price here, clothes too! In the other hand, health foods such as fruits, is cheaper in Brazil, because it is a tropical country and fruits producer. People can have a fruit tree in the backyard because it is not necessary to work hard to make the tree produce! You can eat a fruit directly from the tree. It is very good!

This last week, I can see others differences. When you go to the supermarket here, you find a lot of good and fat foods for a cheap prices. There are a incentive to buy fat foods with sales such as "buy 10 / $10". You are induced to buy more than you need, and eat more than you usually eat. It is not common in Brazil. All the  packages here are bigger than it in Brazil, not only for foods, but products to cleaning the house, shampoo and others too. Other interesting thing that it is not common in Brazil is to pay your shopping by yourself! You pass your things and your card and then, it is ready! Incredible! It would never work in Brazil! One good characteristic of the people here is they are very polite, specially the sellers, they are always in a good mood! In the other hand, they closer than Brazilians.

I am living a wonderful experience and I will share my background in this new country. I  arrived in Morgantown on may 18th , 2013. After a selective process in Brazil, I came to Morgantown to continuous my Chemical Engineering under graduation here. The challenges started in the airport where I needed, for the first time, to communicate in English.
The difficulties with the new language, different foods, different culture...I will list some differences that I found.
First of all, people here are less friendly! Brazilians talk more and  are more receptive. For while, I have just foreigner friends here, because Americans do not talk a lot. Other difference I found, the food. Americans have different food habits. They usually in breakfast eat heavy foods, such as bacon, eggs, sandwich. I got impressed when I saw a child eating sandwich and coca cola in the breakfast!
In Brail, we usually eat bread, cheese, coffee, milk, fruits, and others good foods!
In the lunch, we usually eat rice, beans, same kind of meat, and salad. Here I am not sure what is the base food because each day it has a different type of food.
