Back From Vacation

[abyssal_sylph]

So, for the last 2-ish weeks we've been in Brazil. I won't comment on it much because a lot of it was typical vacation stuff in my opinion. Did buy 2 seashell-necklaces which made Angie (our headmate) very happy though. Didn't learn as much Portuguese as I expected ._. guess being dyslexic + ADHD makes it hard to learn new laguages always.

I do love learning at least a little bit of language, if not some of the history of it and such - but Portugese just throws me every time. I mean to my ear it sounds very, very Russian-ish. And that just throws me off whenever I try and learn any of it (we watch a lot of non-US Drag Race shows, and Brazil was one of them last year.)

Oh I love to learn, including Language! Our mom says that when we went to a museaum we basically became a new person (/pos). Having Portuguese called Russian-esc isn't something I'd expected but makes sense ear-wise.

I don't watch drag shows (idk why), but what would you say are the diffrences between US drag shows & Brazilian ones? :3c am curious.

It all really comes down to production values. Like Drag Race Phillipines does a lot of basic calisthenic and physical stuff, but more "artistic" countries like Germany and France have a lot of acting/singing/dressmaking challenges. It's interesting how the shows are basically the same - but in each show, have their own uniqueness.
