Interviewed for "Greetings from Holland"


Blogger Anita, author of "Greetings from Holland" interviewed me a couple of weeks ago for her blog. Click here to read the mini-interview!

Thanks a lot Anita, it was fun doing it!

Also, if you haven't yet visited Anita's blog, I suggest you do: in it you will find articles about interesting aspects of life in the Netherlands, all spiced up with the typical "carioca" flair of this Brazilian-born expat.

@JaPRA,
ik ben blij dat je het leuk vond! En dat je nu meer Nederlands durf te spreken! Goed gedaan!! ;)

@Sandra,
Yes, I think the best way is to keep an open-mind, indeed.
All the photos are Anita's, except for the first one, of course! Anita has been a couple of times in Argentina, I believe.

@Alejandra,
Noooo con el traductor? Yo creo que en definitiva más que ayudar, confunde! He corregido la traducción varias veces, ya que permite esa herramienta, pero te da las gracias y sigue estando en español indio nomás! :o)Paciencia!!
Beso.

Loved the interview! Great advice! It can definitely be difficult to adjust to life somewhere else but perseverance and acceptance that things are the way they are will certainly help.

It was really nice to read your interview. We had found it before and it was nice to read your views about expat life and to know you a little better.
Cheers

Anita said...

Wow, thanks for the support !

Just read your comment on Miss Footloose's post about wrong numbers while living abroad -- you made me laugh. Maybe one well-practiced Korean phrase would do the trick? I never met any Dutch people who spoke Korean...

@Anita,
You are welcome!!

@Mary Witzl,
I thought of that! You should teach me then, now to say "go do the dishes or take the dog for a walk" :)

Aledys,

I know I'll need your advice in the coming months on what it's like to move to a new place and make a life there. It's wonderful to hear about how you keep such a positive attitude, maybe that will rub off on me!

Rebecca,
All the best for your new adventure! Think of all the lovely food you'll be learning to cook there! :)

Hi Aledys, I read Anita's post a few days ago but could not comment on it then because I was just sneaking in "surfing time" at work, ahem.
It was nice reading bits & pieces about your life and where you grew up. Cordoba looks magical. And not just because of the asado, haha. The Sacred Heart Church is magnificent.
Someday...someday... :)

@buday,
Thanks for your comments on this!
I'll be showing you more of Córdoba soon, hopefully. It's a nice city and a very beautiful province (they share the name) - you'll see! ;)

@M.Eugenia,
Gracias por tu visita. Me alegra que te gustara la entrevista!!
Saludos.

@Isabella,
Glad you liked it! I have to catch up with blogging too, but I'll be slow about it since I'm on holidays! Yeeyy!! :)
Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers!
