Post #1--Introduction: Fernando Meruzzi

Hi Everyone-- My name is Fernando, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I'm 21 years old, student of engineering in Federal University here in my city. Despite my study area, I love to study different languages and other subjects not directly related to my career. I think it's because I like talking about anything and not only math and physics...


I did my high school at Colégio Pedro II, a famous school in my country, called like this because of D. Pedro II, the last Emperor of Brazil, before it becomes a republic. Certainly it was a very happy time in my life that I'll never forget.


I have lived in Rio for all my life. Here is summer all year long! Actually, there's a time it rains so much and it is cold too, but it is usually hot and people are always on beaches. There are also some tourist spots here, like Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer. Besides, there are many beaches (as I told you before) and pubs and discos for an amazing night here.


Rio is really an extraordinary city, but I visit other places whenever I can. I love to travel, but I've never been abroad. That's one of my most cherished dreams. I hope to be in America soon and then visit some countries in Europe. That's why I'm always trying to brush up my English and to learn other languages.


That's it for now. I wish I knew some people and made new friendships here while I help you to know whatever you want to know about my country.

Hope to read about you too!

We talk soon!
