So today I had an interesting cross-cultural interaction with a Brazilian expat and later an African expat. Do you find them interesting too?
So today in Lavelle Road area of our city Bangalore in India, I again initiated a conversation with a woman who is an expat from Brazil. Last week I shared I talked with a Brazilian tourist but today's one is an expat who is living in Bangalore for work reason. So I said her I am just trying to socialize with new people. I am 25 and she seemed close enough to my age too. We were walking next to each other and talking so yeah it wasn't a Cafe interaction. When she said she is from Brazil, I said "Oh wow Brazil?" and she laughed and said yeah the country which lost the World Cup. I don't watch sports so didn't know it but still laughed and said yeah. She is from Sau Paulo so I asked how different is Bangalore compared to Sau Paulo and she said the main difference is there are a lot more people here in Bangalore and laughed. Similarly she asked where I am from too and I said Bengal but living in Bangalore for years and she literally asked the differences between Bengal and Bangalore too. I asked more about her country too. I asked her name and her name reminds me of this song by the singer Faydee as the song title is literally her name haha. After a decent cross-cultural interaction she said she had a meeting in half an hour so yeah we ended the conversation with a handshake. What I found interesting is how diverse Brazil is as the Brazilian tourist I met last week looked more like an Indian woman but today's Brazilian woman looked more Caucasian.
Then later in Lavelle Road itself I talked with this African guy who is an expat too. Yeah I also talk with foreign men sometimes as I enjoy cross-cultural interactions. He is a student in Bangalore from the African country Tanzania. It was so interesting to meet someone from there. We talked, I asked a bit about Tanzania while walking and talking on the sidewalk. It was interesting to meet someone from Tanzania as I don't know much about the country other than Serengeti. He also asked my name and I asked his and damn his name sounded hard to pronounce for me for real haha. We also talked about life in Bangalore and many more. At the end, we had a high five like handshake which gave the bro energy vibes for real haha. I used the word "bro" a lot too while talking to him obviously compared to when I talk with women.
