BRAZIL
Country Overview:
"A vibrant country with a love for sport, food, and a zest for life that's simply contagious."
After a year in China, I journeyed to Porto Alegre, Brazil, to experience the 2014 World Cup with my friend Carlos from EWU. It was an unforgettable adventure, attending such an iconic event in a country where football (soccer) truly is a national passion. The food was incredible, the people were warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was electric with the spirit of competition and camaraderie. Brazil's vibrant culture, delicious cuisine, and the sheer joy of the World Cup left a lasting impression on me.
The Long March
World Cup in Porto Alegre. The Caminho do Gol was a long walk to the stadium where literally thousands of people drank beer, ate street food, and yelled. It was amazing. I’m glad Australia put up a fight, although a loss was still inevitable. Such a nice day, the weather was windy like fall, a bit cool, but warm sun; a perfect day for soccer. Hoping to scalp some tickets to the Algeria vs Korea game before I leave. Not the most thrilling game, but a match is a match
