Keep Austin Weird

 When you travel to a different country It is inevitable you make comparisons with the culture you come from. 

The first weird thing is we hear much more Spanish than English. It's kind of obviously when you hear the word America (USA) you quickly associate with their mother language English, but do you know in United States there are more than one official language? Spanish is the second official language spoken, and here in Austin you hear much more Spanish on the streets than English.

Austin is a city in Texas, south of United States, the reason why the weather is more warm here even during winter time. But the weather is really crazy, you can have the four season in a single day. Autunm in the morning, spring and summer in the afternoon and winter at night. 

People wear shorts even in a freezeing cold day. Yesterday for exemple, It was 0º degrees celsius and you found young people wearing shorts on the streets. So weird.

When I came here I expected find more stores selling donuts, it is not so cultural here the habbit of eating donuts.

The fruit at the cafeteria are almost all canned fruit, it is not so commum in Brazil we eat canned fruit, just a few of them.

Here they don't drink coffee with milk, it is offered what they call "cream" to mix with your coffee, and nobody knows what exactly is in a cream. At the cafeteria you can find a big sort of cereal, people here are kind of crazy about cereal.

Everything is far from everywhere. It is good if you have a car, but if you don't have one the public transportation here works really weel in contrast to many cities in United States.

People excuse for everything, if you don't hear at least one "I'm sorry" in your day propably you're not in the United States. People here seems so polite and a funny thing is in stores people are paid only to greet you when you come in.

There are giant gaps at the restrooms it is so crazy and sometimes unconfortable. You don't see people brushing their teeth after meals very often.

And a very good observation is churches here are LGBTQIA+ friendly, The inclusion of all kinds of people the wide of divesity hear warms my heart.
