I am a Brazilian anthropologist, Jewish too, living in the U.S.: I just LOVED this Gringa's blog, absolutely fascinating! Gringa, you should undertake graduate studies in anthropology (Museu Nacional/UFRJ has an excellent program). You could use your own experiences, and also the feed-back to this blog. Girl, go for it!!!

Very interesting, insightful, well-written, good use of multimedia. A slice of life in Rio, seen through the eyes of an intelligent young woman raised in the US.
A funny, witty, informative look at what it's like for an American to live in Rio. Most of the time, it makes you want to hop on a plane and go there right NOW!
