I applaud you for sticking up for Brazilians, esp. for the stereotype that people in underdeveloped countries don't value dogs (or animals) as much as people in developed nations. True, there are cases of animal abuse and cruelty in developing worlds, but I have also seen news of horrific abuse of dogs and animals in Australia. It all comes back to the person. <br /><br />I actually read the other day about the dog who was sitting beside a grave on the news; it wasn't that he was abandoned and no one wanted him---it was that he refused to leave his owner's grave site after she was buried. I think that says a lot about their relationship.<br /><br />On a last and equally important note, congratulations on taking your first step in securing a photo assignment!! Woohoo!!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356041323495054921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008463968111291625.post-27878582735369149862011-02-02T16:09:13.148+01:002011-02-02T16:09:13.148+01:00Dear Mallory,

It is just a hobby, not to be taken so serious: if its just tips for friends. I loved your blog and you pics!! So Amazing!!!! <br />I hope we will keep in touch!

The little taste of your world that I got from your post is very fragrant, colorful and uncharted to me. I hope to read more in the future! <br /><br />Congratulations on the photo gig! I hope there will be many more for you in the future, your photos are beautiful! <br /><br />The thought that brazilians don't love their dogs has never crossed my mind (and I am american) But now I know if I ever hear that stereotype I can set someone straight, thanks! <br /><br />Good luck with your future endeavors!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008463968111291625.post-52276923073784015112011-01-21T16:52:50.389+01:002011-01-21T16:52:50.389+01:00Hi Mallory!!! I was so happy to see you posted!
...Hi Mallory!!! I was so happy to see you posted! <br /><br />Well, first of all, congrats on the Photography Job, it's great when you can find a job that is exactly what you like to do, specially in a foreign country, like you said!<br /><br />Second, I absolutely loved the way you put the way Brazilians are into words. Brazilians have the incredible tendency to help people in need when things like this happens. And yes, we love dogs, and we care for them even if they are not ours. I thought what you wrote about it was great!<br /><br />Third... We actually DO a lot of meals with Bananas in Brazil, specially Cakes, we are just not familiar witht the American Style Banana Bread. My family in Brazil bakes wonderful banana cakes, many different kinds, and there is also the "bolinhos de chuva", they are little doughnuts with bananas inside, fried and rolled in cinnamon sugar... oh my goodness, I miss that (even though I usually don't eat fried stuff). <br /><br />And, last but not least, this Banana Bread looks so tempting, I am going to copy this recipe because Bryan loves banana bread, specially if it's gluten free and healthier than regular kinds... <br />Oh, I almost forgot, Bryan has a recipe of a Banana Cookie he found online that is also gluten free. I believe the banana is what gives it the "attachment". It's awesome! I will find it (when we finally move into the rental home) and I will email it to you so you can try!<br /><br />Congrats on the job and friends again!Nanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05802492142900190123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008463968111291625.post-36238297442852481852011-01-20T12:54:33.182+01:002011-01-20T12:54:33.182+01:00Thanks everyone!

Actually, im working on an english gig right now, so far 5 students and an empty psychology clinic at night my hope is to steel all of the students in the city and make these jerk-off chains go bank rupt. mwuahaha. no not really :P also--YES! WHY dont people neuter cats and nogs!!? my husband was so surprised that my parents' three dogs and cats were, he said oh poor thing, nooo it helps the population. there needs to be an educational campaign about that here, it would help so much. <br /><br />Fayzle- the hunger will be gone in June. im thinking backyard clam bake with smoked salmon and a crazy french dessert table :D<br /><br />Analise- I know who you are! thanks for stopping by :)Mallory Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03901050934484369605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008463968111291625.post-18174856390836939992011-01-20T12:45:21.602+01:002011-01-20T12:45:21.602+01:00Congrats on both the jobs! Anything that gets you...Congrats on both the jobs! Anything that gets you out of the house and making money (even if it's next to nothing) is a huge first step. It all helps build a resume with work experience in Brazil.<br /><br />Also, I'm so glad you wrote about Brazilians love for their dogs. If had seen those ignorant I would have been furious too because I find Brazilians to be dog crazy people. At least Cariocas. I thought Americans were obsessed with their dogs but I have never seen dogs accessorized like I have in Rio. <br /><br />My only complaint is that they seem equally obsessed with preserving their dogs' masculinity. As a daughter of a vet, I firmly believe if the dog is not showing or breeding it needs to be neutered. I see more dog testicals in one weekend in Rio than I have in my life in the US. (Ok, I'm stepping off of my soapbox now.)<br /><br />Congrats again on the jobs!Brynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10336883901468566517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008463968111291625.post-26347873072114781082011-01-20T11:30:19.423+01:002011-01-20T11:30:19.423+01:00Big congrats on the photography gig.

When I worked at an English language school I felt like a day care worker, but got paid even less.<br /><br />My banana bread gets great reviews from the neighbors with whom I share it. It is certainly referred to as a bolo. There are some quick breads at the local boutique grocery, coming out of their in-store bakery: chocolate and some kind of "plain" (?)<br /><br />Also - I have found myself explaining repeatedly to my freinds and family back in the states that Rio de Janeiro, where I sort of live is a city and Rio de Janeiro in which there are mountain towns experiencing a catastrophe is a state (you know, like New York, NY).Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14003236423048071844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008463968111291625.post-90850181889850800742011-01-20T06:01:27.529+01:002011-01-20T06:01:27.529+01:00Always a pleasure reading your blog entries.

My school pays by hour and the owner actually has two school right to two different exits of Unicamp.
