Brazilian city in Japan

When I was 19 years old, I went to Hamamatsu City every day. Because I failed my college entrance examinations, I had to study and go to cram school in Hamamatsu City.

I was surprised because there are so many Brazilians in Hamamatsu. Hamamatsu City has the largest Brazilian population in Japan. When I heard that, I understood this city’s atmosphere.

Samba festivals are often held on weekends. They were dancing and enjoying themselves. I think they are good at dancing to the rhythm. So if Japanese people can do like them, we can enjoy more.
