I mainly feel sad and wish I had kept in touch with my friends. I used to listen to the tapes I had but they usually made me cry. Its's been 15 years since I was a foreign exchange student living in Santos for 6 months and Sao Paulo for six months. I can barely read or speak Portuguese any longer. This page is great! I just got connected to the internet yesterday and the first thing I did was to try to find Brazilian information. Do you know if the telephone system in Brasil has directory assistance? I would love to find my best friend Dulcineia Campos de Silva, she got married to a Walmir Rodruques and I never heard from her again. I'd also like to find another friend, Nelson Rogerio Lessa, also from Santos. I don't know if you can answer me, but I feel better trying. I printed some of your recipies, I has some of them, however, they were written in Portuguese and like I said, I'm pretty rusty. I'm definitely going to make the Brazilian Pudim, I loved that. I also loved the street venders who sold churros filled with carmelized creme de leite (if I remember it, actually it was what your recipe for doce de leite may turn out to be).
I loved living in Brazil. I never wanted to leave. I would dearly love to go back someday. I'd like to go back and visit my friends and places I went to.
Hey, do you know how to find chocolate from Gramado?? That was the most excellent chocolate I've ever tasted!
Thanks for creating this page. You made my day!
I drink Guarana and listen to some nice Tom Jobim CDs of course if I really feel inspired I'll make feijoada!
I listen to Martinho da Vila and dance samba until I'm completely exhausted. It's the best remedy.
Try not to cry
Look at the pictures I took when I was last there
I write to my girlfriend who lives in Sao Vicente. She's a flight attendant, and I can see her only very seldom, but I'm gonna be there from July until ???
call home

My name is Carolina and I am from Montevideo, Uruguay; altough my country is next to Brazil, I can only go once a year. I usually go to Salvador at Carnaval time. I love it. So when I miss that fabulous place I listen to music, I try to find some new sites about Brazil in the Internet (I am missing Brazil now). I also do plans to go next February. I am willing to. Bye, See you in Brazil.
Saudade. Eh um desespero danado ! Para mim, eu simplesmente tento visualizar o mais nitidamente possivel minhas melhores memorias de Sao Paulo, vou dirigir por um tempo escutando a um CD do Chico, Vinicio ou Milton e choro. O que me da mais prazer hoje em dia e ver minhas criancas crescer e ter um jeitao todo brasileiro. Primeira vez lendo a sua pagina. Adorei. Muito obrigado. Acabei de achar uma outra forma de matar a saudade da terrinha. Nelson
When I miss Brazil, I listen to its fabulous musics and at the same time I cry, and I cry, and I dream of the day that I would be back to my family, to my friends, to my special food and wonderful music and dances.
Well, I guess I send e-mails all the time to keep in touch with people in BraSil, or also I would take a look at the papers in the Net to see what's happening... although this usually stops me from feeling "saudades", specially the political pages. As I live near London, me and another Brazilian friend who is also studing in the University go to the Lisboa Bar, that as you can see is Portuguese, but anyway they have wonderful sweets (pasteis de Belem) and guarana', the drink to die for. Or I can drink chimarrao~ if it's too cold!
I listen to music and talk to my Brazilian friends
1)Trying to find time to go there again asap. 2)Looking at those worn pictures again while listening to "Dança do Bumbum" and some other Samba music while trying to make some more money, then continue with no.1 on top.

Eu tambem sinto muitas saudades do Brasil. Quando tenho saudades ouco musicas Brasileiras. Nos (meu amigo tambem) gostariamos de ter som de musicas Baianas. Mas nosso problema e nao temos MP3 files na Internet. Por favor, mande -me uma pagina para download musica. Obrigado um abraco, Hans e Jane.

I miss Brasil right now, so I came to the computer and went straight to Maria Brazil! Besides that, you can make caipirinha or drink Guarana Antarctica listening to Brasilian songs...
I sing Brazilian's songs
My husband and I also listen to brazilian songs and cook some brazilian food. Yesterday, for example, we ate "cuscuz com charque" at the dinner. We talk to our families twice a week and send emails everyday. By the way, congratulations for your home page, Maria. Kemine $ Klaiton Rocha.
I have never been to Brazil, but from the recipes I am reading, I sure would like to get there. I am hoping you can help me though. I need a recipe for Feijoada Moderna, for my son's classroom. I found several for Feijoada but can't locate anything that says "moderna." Can you tell me what that is? Any help is sincerely appreciated. Thank you. robin@magg.net
I listen to my Brazilian Music and call some friends that have been there, so I could be understood and be connected to all my feelings. I also like to drink caipirinha and/or a beer. Or I just call my family and friends in Belo Horizonte. Thanks for your beautiful home page. Lu
I listen to "pagode" :)
I go to the chat of UOl and talk to brazilians. I also listen songs, call family and friends, look for brazilians web sites (how i found yours!), cook brazilian foods and bother everybody else by talk only about Brazil ...
I go to places with Brazilian music, I drink caipirinha and enjoy a delicious brazilian BBQ. In the summertime me and my friend use to play vooleyball and drink a lot of beers
I drink a Chimarrao with some friends and talk about the good times in Brasil. I´m from Germany and traveled over 30 h to get from Hamburg to Novo Hamburgo, by the way I say "Hallo" to everyone from Dois Irmaos/RS. Ciao, Tarek
First I get tears in my eyes than I cheer up because I have to thank God I was born a Brazillian and realize that the word Saudades is exclusive to our people and no one can take away how we feel about our beautiful country. No matter where we end up living in the world we will always be brazillian in our hearts

Above all, listen to some of my favorite songs of Djavan, Gal Costa, Elis Regina, Ivan Lins, and many others. Then, I try to translate the lyrics to English, eventually to Japanese which is my mother tangue. My wife and I visited Brazil in the end of December 1997, a week in Parati and another week in Rio de Janeiro. I still can recall the heat of the country. Unforgettable experience. Since then, the lyrics touch my heart deep inside. Have you listened Elis Regina's "Aos Nossos Filhos"? You should. And miss Brazil. Thinking of Brazil, I usually end up with playing several chords of Bossa Nova and Samba on my guitar...
I come back.
Well i went to Rio last Feb and i really miss everuthing of this wonderfull country that is Brazil !! well i'm in contact with friends by Iphone and keep thinking to go bak in the early future !!
