I have received several get-together requests from Brazilian/American couples. Although there are more than a few Brazilian/American (or otherwise) couples here in Goiânia, there really is no network. The best bet is through my blog, and through this forum. I actually know of about a dozen American/Brazilian couples living in the area, though I have not met them personally. We honestly have no idea how many of us there are, but it might be a nice change of pace to have that camaraderie.
It seems that April would be ideal to allow ample time to get the word out, and to accommodate everyone's schedules. As this is the first function of this kind here in Goiânia, we would like to give everyone sufficient time to hear about it, so that we can fully take advantage of this special event.
In my hometown of Austin, Texas, there was a large group of Brazilians that were able to get together regularly for bar-b-ques and soccer games, having found each other through the local Brazilian food/goods store. Here, there is nothing like that, but it appears that my blog is bringing people together. Cool! I have received several requests for meet ups, and it seems the best solution is a meet & greet in April.
Please let me know if you think you will be able to attend, and which Saturday in April would be the best for you. Let's not forget that 2 of these weekends are holiday weekends:
Friday, 6th - Easter
Saturday, 21st - Tiradentes
Meet & Greet in April?
It looks as though the meet & greet won't happen. Out of the near dozen people who contacted me, there was only one [couple] to follow through once it became a “group thing.” It appears the rest made like Easter eggs, and disappeared. Perhaps a gathering is best left to a future date.
I'm sure I'm not the first one to which this has happened, but I would like to note that I've been contacted by people who are less than honest about who they are (or what they want). Remember to be careful in giving the benefit of the doubt. People are not always as they would have you believe. (I actually noted that on my blog recently.) Honestly, I would have preferred a group meeting as opposed to individual meetings, simply because it provides a safer environment for all.
Well, you guys know where you can find me (online).
