Epic Culture shock - Looking for North American or European friends

Post new topic

drmagnumwolf

I was born in brazil, but I've spent most of my life elsewhere.

I've lived in the UK(London) for 7 years, and I, absorbed, culturally, almost everything from the UK. Though, I still have that American Culture as well that came from other places :P

So, even if I've been living in Sao Paulo for the past 3 years, I'm still suffering from an epic case of culture shock. And I wanted to make friends who share some of the basic culture from the UK(The reason why I requested N.A. And European), so I can at least feel less of an alien here.

Welcome!

I think you will find many others with the same problem here. I'm one of them, but from the US. My dad's family is all from the UK.

Thank you!

Yeah, the culture shock is being so epic for me that sometimes I don't have enough hands to facepalm on the stuff that happens here. :o
