Interesting bits from our ePals
´letters
 Belo Horizonte… is a great city to live.
 There are some kinds of songs that are unique to
my area,like "forró" and "folia de reis”.
 We celebrate Christmas… At midnight we usually
exchange presents and play a game. Before the
party we take a piece of paper with a name, and
than we buy a present to this person. Then you say
some caracteristics about this person to your family
so they can find out who is. It's very nice, but i don't
like very much Christmas, I don't know why.
