Are these pictures from Brazil or Lebanon?






If you answered Lebanon, then you are correct! Lebanon has Brazil fever. The World Cup has only reinforced the strong ties that the country has to Brazil. There is literally not a street in Beirut where I did not see a Brazilian flag flying high. You don't have to take my word for it.


Many of the people that I met are Brazilians that came to Lebanon and have made it their home. Jilda cooks Brazilian favorites for dignitaries in Beirut while Marcela teaches exercise classes to both the young and older population.
