I just felt like telling how is my life in Brazil, I don't really know why. Maybe this will change how some people think about my country but welp, I don't honestly care either.
I live in the south of Brazil, in the south of the province of Santa Catarina, on a very small isolated fishing town with only about 10,000 people living on it, most of them being very old rich people that want to spend their last few decades in peace with other old rich people. Life here is pretty peaceful, it's not at all agitaded or dangerous as you might think.
Crime exists, I mean, it does everywhere, but it's rare, very rare. I never ever got robbed here or something like that. There are gangs and they fight constantly, but they stay away from normal people, except sometimes, but that's a story for another time.
Basically, my life is pretty calm, from summer to winter, I can just relax. I go to school from monday to friday, get back home, get on my PC and spend my afternoons like this. I do hang out a lot with my small number of friends and have quite some fun, we walk around A LOT, going from one point of my town to the other in a matter of two hours ( Half an hour if we have bikes ). Vacations start as early as November and end on late February, so we have a lot of time to enjoy summer ( Seasons are different here ). We also have a week long winter vacation when the temperatures go too low, mostly around July.
Summer here has a lot of parties, I obviously don't go to them because I'm still a minor but it's kinda neat seeing those people having fun. Even though this is a coastal town, I absolutely hate the beach and would much rather go camp at a lake like a lot of people.
Winter is my favorite part of the year, except for school of course. It gets pretty darn cold here in winter and it even snows on the mountains we have. On the hottest part of the winter days we get around 7 to 8°C and drops all the way down to -3 at night. I love it because I can wear lots of clothing and use more than one cover :3
Well, as I've said, this IS a small town, so we don't really have a lot to do. Most stores here only open in summer and they are mostly clothing stores. We have no McDonald's, Starbucks, Subway, or anything like that, we do have fast food places and in my opinion, their food is WAY better than big fast food companies like McDonald's. They make bigger tastier food for much less, some combos here in my town cost R$10 ( US$2.8 ) and come with a big ass hamburger we call X ( Read as Cheese ) and with a 2l soda, it's crazy!
But well... That still doesn't make up for the lack of stuff, we have no shopping centers, no theaters, nothing like that. And NEET people like me get screwed even more. If I want to buy my monthly share of manga, games and other stuff, I have to go all the way to Criciúma which is our neighbouring city. And it's very hard to travel 32km alone when you are under-age and have social anxiety, so I only go there with my mom very rarely.
It's not that huge of a deal though, because I can buy stuff though the internet and they arrive rather quickly ( Most of the time in 15 days ) and I don't even have to step out of my room ( My dad picks them up for me ).
And now, the last thing I want to talk about... The internet.
This is the shittiest part about living here. It is slow and expensive, and now all the big internet providers ( Which provide internet even to the small ones, crazy right? ) want to set a montly data limit. The most expensive plan has a limit of only 160gbs, and it's not even available here.
My internet is a 1mbps connection, I get 95kbps download and 50kbps upload, if my provider adds a limit, I'll have only 10gbs, and list time I checked, I was using 68gbs per month ( with all the devices in my house combined, it's 4 phones, 3 consoles, a PC and a smart TV ), so that's fucking stupid.
Anyways, I like living here but we have our problems...
If there's anything else you guys wanna know about here, just ask. I'll be happy to awsner
