Well, it's been a long time since I last recorded a Q&A video,
so I asked you to send me questions on my Facebook page,
and today I'll answer them.
Guilherme Monção asks: what are the best places for Brazilians
to live in the United States?
Well, Guilherme, this questions is a little difficult to
answer because it depends on several factors, you know?
One State that I like a lot and I really liked living there was California.
But the problem with California is that the cost-of-living is really high, so
it depends. For instance, if you don't speak English very well, if you only speak
Spanish, Florida would be a better option, if you
are looking for a place with a high concentration of Brazilians,
perhaps Boston...it depends on the type of weather you're looking for, the type of job.
For instance, if you're in the tech industry, Silicon Valley would be a great area.
Manoel Vianna asks: when it comes to raising your children, which language will prevail?
Since you're Brazilian and your husband is Argentinian,
and you live in an English-speaking country?
Well, Manoel, to tell you the truth, I'm not
completely sure of what will happen when I have children...in my head, I
plan to speak Portuguese with them and my husband will probably speak
Spanish with them and they'll end up learning English in school, right?
But I have a Colombian friend who's married to a French-Canadian
and they also live in the United States and they had a girl recently,
so I'll see how they'll do it because they are also in a
situation of 3 languages, Spanish, French and English, so I'll
watch them and depending on how it goes, I'll be inspired by them.
André Luis Santos Filho asks: which TV series do you watch?
I don't like watching series very much
because I don't have the patience to follow all the episodes.
I really like watching movies, I'm fascinated by movies because they have a
beginning, a middle and an ending and that's it; lesson learned and then I move on.
Gail Ahamad asks: have you ever heard of Guyana?
Yes, of course I have heard of Guyana. Actually, I had never met someone from Guyana
until a few months ago
when I was at Macy's and I met this guy from Guyana and it was so cool to meet someone from Guyana
because usually when I think
about a country, I also think about people who are from that country,
so when I don't know anyone from a certain country,
that country is kind of like faceless for me, so I don't have anyone to think about
when I think about that country, and now that I know
someone from Guyana, I can think about him.
Jardel Morais asks: which books do you like and recommend?
Jardel, this is also a difficult question because there are many books that I
like and recommend....I've been reading many biographies recently and a biography
that I really liked was that of Clarice Lispector.
In terms of self-help books, I liked one that it's called
"The Artist's Way" which is for people who want to venture into creative areas, you know?
I like Hemingway's books a lot and perhaps my favorite one is...
"A Moveable Feast,"
I think in Portuguese it's called "Paris é uma Festa."
Oh, I've read one recently that
really opened my mind which was "The Denial of Death" by Ernest Becker, which I also liked very much.
I've been reading Anna Karenina for months
now, but I can't finish it because it's huge, but I also
like it, I have been enjoying it, even though when the book is too long, I tend to
lose interest, but these are some of them.
Jonatas Araujo Trintade asks: what do you like about President Trump?
Jonatas, I have to confess to
you that I'm not a big fan of Donald Trump, but...I was thinking
about this question, thinking, thinking to try to come up with an answer and I think that...
maybe, one good thing about him is that he has no filter, he says
what he really thinks. But the problem is that he's the President and
presidents usually have to be more diplomatic, they have to know how to...
be more cordial and tactful not to offend....not to offend
everyone. And because he has no filter, he ends up offending a lot of people and creating
a lot of...a lot of hate in many people, so....usually, saying what you
really think is a good thing, but in his case, I think it ends up being a
little complicated due to the fact that he's the President and that everyone is
watching what he says 24 hours a day.
I think that's that...
I don't know if I've answered your question very well, but it's because it's a very hard question.
