This is where students in Brazil from the Federal University of Technology located in the state of Paraná can describe what their life is like (pictured at right is the University). It is an open discussion forum where students can explain their daily activities and what school is like for them. American students from Hope Street Academy can respond and pose questions to be answered by Brazilian students.

Have you ever been outside of Brazil and if you have where did you go? Because I've lived in Germany for about 5 years.
Hi!
My name is Allison, I'm 19.
My routine is a bit monotonous during the week. I go to college at 11:30 a.m and go home at 7 p.m, sometimes I go to movies with friends before go home. I spend some time with my family and study 1 or 2 hours by myself >.<
Then, I usually play some online game (usually mmorpg or counter strike =p) and go to bed.
At weekends I go out with my girlfriend to enjoy the night life (that's really nice here, there are many good night-clubs).

Hi my name is Danielle, i got to Hope Street Acdamey. I was just would is Brazil kind of like america or no? Ad another question for you guys is do the high school students get to play sports for there school?
Hi Bianca,
My name is Nashawna, I just want to say it sounds boring to go to a school on a Saturday. In my old school, if you got in trouble and had a whole lot of unfinished work then they will make you go to Saturday school, but luckily I never had to do that. But other wise we don't have school on Saturday's. Since you have school on a Saturday do you have a day off during the weekday. I mean it seem like you have a whole lot of on your hands with school and basketball. I mean you should at least be able to have the weekend to rest up.
Are there alot of American's in Brazil? In America there is alot of diversity and people are from all over the world.
What are some of the minor or major punishments that people recieve when they commit a crime in Brazil?
hi, this is tim... i was wondering what kind of cars you drive in Brazil. I have 2 cars, one is really old and im working on it, and unfortunately the other one is only capable of getting me to school and back home.
What's good down there in South America, Brazil? It's Josh, once again, and I want to know how is the beach life doing? Here in good old Kansas we have lakes that you can use but the ocean is like 10,000 times better than lakes in my opinion. I've been the ocean before and I was awestruck. The feeling that the big waves envelope you with are exciting and exhilarating.
Hi Tim! Here in Brazil we drive a lot of cars, like Fiat, Renault, Ford, Volkswagen, Volvo, BMW, Audi, Mitsubishi and the others. Unfortunately I don't have a car so I take a bus when I go to school.
Hi Nashawna,
In wekends I always go out with my boyfriend... So, I just relax during the night.
But I like my life. How is the routine in USA?
Hi Josh!
The beaches in Brazil are beautiful. We don't have a lot of lakes, but we have wonderful beaches! Infortunaly, Curitiba is a little far from the beaches. It takes about 3 hours. I think the most beautiful beach in Brazil is Florianópolis. It's a island. I'm going to post some photos in the wiki : http://americabrazilproject.wikispaces.com/
Hi people! I put photos in the wiki!
I think you should see them and post new ones.
Hi Bianca,
this is Allison.
I edited your post in the wiki, the page was blank. I also added photos about Parque Tanguá.
To US people:
Add some photos about nice places in your city!
Hi, I´m Vinicius and I´m 21.
well, I like playing chess, playinag the guitar, soccer, cooking... After my English classes I go running...
Yes, here we have a lot of beautiful beaches... I don´t like it very much, but I have been in BUZIOS, and it was wonderful.
Curitiba has a historic center, your name is Largo da Ordem. The Largo da Ordem has churchs, a lot of art galerias, museums, and bars, cafeterias, and restaurants. The Memorial of Curitiba is on Largo da Ordem.
On Sundays, happens a great handicraft fair.
Yes... "Largo da Ordem" has a lot of pubs where the people go to listening rock. Here, this kind of people uses black and sometimes strang clothes. People who don´t like this kind of music calls they "crows". I used to wear clothes like that, but now I wear normal clothes, I think.
My name is Chelsea. I go to Hope Street. This is my first year at Hope Street. Have any of you been to the United States? If so, did you like it?
