Interesting bits from our ePals´letters
I was born …in Salvador-Bahia, but now I am living in Belo Horizonte-Minas Gerais.
Sometimes I read a book. The last one was The Huner of Kites. I loved it!
When I was a kid, I had a dream. It was… a dog, but as I travel a lot, my dad never gave me one.
My favorite TV show is Greek.

Interesting bits from our ePals´letters
Belo Horizonte… is a great city to live. There are some kinds of songs that are unique to
my area,like "forró" and "folia de reis”. We celebrate Christmas… At midnight we usually
exchange presents and play a game. Before the party we take a piece of paper with a name, and than we buy a present to this person. Then you say some caracteristics about this person to your family so they can find out who is. It's very nice, but i don't like very much Christmas, I don't know why.

…The only part I enjoy, is the presents exchange!
Carnival… it's the best party of all ! Actually, I´m not involved in any specific
project, but last year there was a Social Action for child of slums.
My favorite teacher is Cristiane because she is nice
