I saw you write in several posts here that you are NOT a "lame" (your word) engrish teacher and will do anything to not have to teach english. You hate teaching English...Just face up: you are packing your bags and running back to America because you suck as a teacher and it's too hard for you to make a living.

I was jk, I wouldn't teach you for R$200 per hour. I can refer you to someone though, PM me. You need lessons.

I am not going to say what I did back home, but you can bet it wasn't teaching. Here I did other work as well, but I disliked working with Brazilians.

There are 1000 reasons I am leaving Brazil, and believe me, nothing you say makes me feel bad about it. I'm thrilled to be leaving.

I do not suck as a teacher, but if I did, who cares? That certainly wouldn't be the end of the world!!!

It has been hard for me to make a living here, but even if I won the lottery, I would be leaving.

Maybe I would enjoy living someone other than Rio, but this place is a favela, whether people call it that or not. People live behind bars, everyone is rude, there is almost no true diversity (@racists, I'm not talking about skin color), the 'beauty' of the place is only seen from an airplane, once you touch the ground, the true ugliness of the 'marvelous city' becomes evident.

Originally posted by Gringodude I don't speak the language of people with short money, but if I were to ever understand it, you just made it sound perfectly clear. You're leaving because you cannot make a living and it's that simple. (no personal care from me)

Acutally I was just offered a job paying 7K reais a month in Rio!!!

Guess what?

I'm LEAVING.

This place is a FAVELA.

Oh because I'm sometimes lazy when I type, or mix-in Portuguese words?That's not really a good justification to be critical and try to pick a fight with people (this is sooo American, why I hated that place). You're just a bitter gringo that flopped in Brazil. It's not an easy to live in Brasil. It takes real men.

Great!

We are all thrilled!

Keep living your life then!

Woo hoo!

USA USA USA!!!!

Originally posted by Gringodude 7k a month, I live in Ipanema man it's not enough, is that your point?

7K is enough. My other half earns 5K. That's 12K to live on in Rio. It's enough, trust me. We spend under 5K a month and our problems have nothing to do with consumption.

We are seeking greener pastures, fewer favelas, less violence, and a more educated populace.
