We were talking about the crazy weather from the last weeks and she said:

「おもしろいね、ブラジルの雨はブラジル人のみたいです。」

「It seems the weather reflects its people.

In Japan, the rain is calm, constant, thin, almost like a drizzle and usually lasts for the whole day (just like you see on animes).

In Brazil, it comes and goes suddenly and fiercely, with the sky turning all black, the clouds heavy and the raindrops are so thick it almost hurts you. It's exaggerated, almost comical. I think it's very Brazilian-like.」
