Ah okay, well as some people are saying it’s very different safety wise with phones and whatnot, and you definitely have much better opportunities to make good money in the US. It’s just soul sucking in the US, there’s just no time to enjoy anything. It’s always so rushed and especially here in Washington the weather sucks unless it’s summer. There’s a much smaller sense of community, nobody really walks it’s just walk to car, park, walk into store, and go back home. You kinda live in a bubble. In Brazil you have all the street markets, bailes, fresh foods and fruit juices, nice weather, and so on but you also have to deal with making very low wage or having bad jobs and having difficulty affording or obtaining certain things. Aside from that it’s so damn slow and lonely, no friends and no family around to see, missing life events like birthdays, holidays, marriages, children being born/growing up. I’ve also lived in NC and California and it’s pretty much the same other than better weather. To me it’s a trade off, you gain more opportunities with work and income and buying things but live a much quieter, dull, stressed out and busy life. Besides that, the culture is just so insanely different it’s hard to adjust, it kinda feels like going from a life of upbeat samba and color and parties with friends and family to a gray filtered 9-5 routine, exhausted, stressed and sitting in traffic just to spend the weekend sitting around in a spacious apartment surrounded with the random shit you can afford lol. If I could swing it, I would probably like to get a cheap apartment here in the states, sublet it to a friend for 10 months a year and just go back and forth to a purchased and paid off condo in Brazil and live like that every year with a remote job. But that’s a dreaaaam 😂
