My mother's hometown. I visited here and Rio over the summer. Very nice areas, and the crab is always fantastic.

How interesting... her mother is Brazilian? :3 well, I'm Japanese but I live in Ceará 2 years ago, but I never knew the Fortaleza but I am soon going to have the opportunity to see it. =P
(besides, I am the owner of this account of Ceará. o.o)

Fortaleza is very nice, and the sun is always warm and shining there, feels great on the skin.I always hear from my mother that São Paulo has a high Japanese population. :) I was going to visit there over the Summer but we ended up staying in Ipanema with my aunt and uncle instead, regardless it was fantastic and the mountains you see as you walk to the ocean is gorgeous!

well, you know Brazil well better than me... T-T I live in this country for five years, I first lived in Belém, the state capital of Pará, the first brazilian capital is I've met... :3 when my mother came here in Brazil we had to move in the interior of Ceará in the hometown of my mother, the city's name is Uruoca and is a very small town and lived here for 2 years and live here in the small town is boring. D:

I am sure you will get to see more of Brazil sooner or later! You've gotta see Ipanema beach at least once in your lifetime!
