Re: The Jewish Woman Shortage

A wikipedia article about the hometown of some chick that I randomlly know from Myspace(how the hell did i find that site?)

"Curitiba officially became a town in 1842. Growth was based on the cattle trade, being half way between cattle breeding country to the South and markets to the North. Waves of European immigrants started arriving after 1850, mainly Germans, Italians and Poles."

It all really confuses the hell outta me, because I don't know if these people acknowledge their european roots like we do. Which must be why it confuses me. I can guess it's not like French Canadians.

"São Paulo is a major business centre. The city has a multicultural metropolitan area, with heavy Italian, Spaniard, Portuguese, German, Arab and Japanese influences."

And don't forget the former President of Peru, A japanese guy in exile, but his daughter is involved in this coming election cycle!

It's all very interesting. Haven't figured out how to explore it any further though, unless I learned another language and read their books maybe.
