A Spanish view of Brazil

My name is Andres. I came from Spain to Brazil because my dad found work here. As of now I am liking Brazil as it is a very nice country and it has lots of places to visit.
The first month and half of being in Brazil, we spent it in an apartment in Balneário Camboriu. In those months, we went out and my dad showed us some places like beaches, restaurants, etc. After those months, we started looking for a house. We didn’t find one as we were bringing a lot of furniture from our house in Spain and it didn’t fit in the places we saw. We ended up finding a house in Barra Velha which was big enough to fit our old furniture.
Then we started looking for school. My parents wanted me and my sister to go to an International School because this way we could speak to others in English, since we don’t speak Portuguese very well. We didn't find one where we were so we started looking in other places. In the end we chose the Escola Internacional UniSosiesc.
Some things are different in Brazil compared to Spain. For example: many of the beaches in Spain have a lot of rocks, while in Brazil, (to the beaches I've been to), they don’t. I like this more, since I don’t like having to put shoes on when I want to go to the beach. Another thing I find different is how people eat. In Spain, we don’t have “churrasco”. This is another thing I like in Brazil.
Something that has shocked me is the amount of expensive cars on the roads. In Spain, you never see an expensive car, while here I've seen 2.
I'm still getting used to live in Brazil, but I think I'm going to like it here!
