BRAZIL
Country Overview:
“A vibrant country with a love for sport, food, and a desire to live life to the fullest”
After a year in China, I traveled to Porto Alegre, Brazil to go to the 2014 World Cup with my friend Carlos from EWU. It was such an incredible experience getting to attend such an iconic event in a country where football (soccer) is treated as a religion. The food was amazing, the girls were pretty, and the spirit of competition and sport were widespread.
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
