Had a high school exchange student from São Paulo, in the early 90’s to my very small hometown. Can’t even imagine the enormous culture shock he must’ve had as a 16 year old. Very bright kid, but man…. When it snowed, that dude was on another planet. First time was an usual big snow over Halloween, nobody went trick or treating that year, and he had no reference to that activity, but the next day when the streets were full of snow, I visited his house family, as they were very close and remain good friends. You should have seen this guy…. In his best Portuguese but pretty good English, “WAT DIS DIS?!?!?” He was so concerned! Not even happy about seeing snow for perhaps the first time in his life…. Oh Guillermo….
