both countries. Brazil is a big country with many states and people. There are multiple dialects and many types of foods. People here have beautiful smiles and are always happy, even if they are poor. In the south the climate is cool, but in the north It's hot and humid. Switzerland, on the other hand, is small but
beautiful and clean. There are four languages in that tiny country. People there are very different from Brazilians: they are wealthy, independent, and
organized. The food is delicious, and of course, the famous Swiss chocolate is great, and the climate is dry and cool. I love both countries.
