Brazilian: okay my participant's number is f c sixty p two and now it's my turn please call stella ask her to bring these things with her from the store uh six spoons of fresh snow peas five thick slabs of blue cheese and maybe a snack for her brother bob we also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids she can scoop these things into three red bags and we will go meet her wednesday at the train station

Chilean: perfect okay

Brazilian: right

Chilean: that was perfect okay

Brazilian: please

Chilean: i have a question for you um um if you could go on holidays anywhere where would you go and why

Brazilian: uh now at the moment i think uh i would choose the greek island maybe just because i heard some nice comments and tips from my friends who have been there before about the weather and people and also about the food so i would pick greek or maybe italy from the south side i had friends living there last summer they said that the people nearby there is not that courteous people but instead of people we have amazing landscapes such as the beaches in puglia you know so i think a mix of nice landscapes and nice weather it'd be great to pick now a trip <laugh>

Chilean: necessary <laugh>

Brazilian: um yeah necessary for the time i think i need to chill a little bit i am already three years here and no holidays in those times so yeah i need to chill have drinks and make some sun bath at the beach you know

Chilean: yeah this is necessary

Brazilian: yeah but tell me which one will you pick i know that you are just you are in a trip now but <laugh>

Chilean: <laugh> yeah

Brazilian: will you pick

Chilean: yeah um just uh i don't know i'm i'm happy where i am now um asia has been nice <laugh> um i'm discovering a new culture um new type of food the food here is amazing like thai food and uh chinese it's it's unreal really

Brazilian: is that like people say uh really spicy food there

Chilean: yeah actually it's like i bought uh a sauce okay <laugh> and it says like extra mild and it's so so spicy like everything i don't know what they what for them is like is spicy you know like or mild i i don't i don't know like everything is everything has something spicy <laugh> so it's interesting um yeah but they use a lot of spicy here because it's it's very uh warm okay and they use that for cooling cooling them down becau because it's too too hot the whole day so it's kind of understandable why they use so much spicy food uh sorry so much spicy and uh yeah so i'm very um how do you say um it's amazing here you know but um i've been talking with my boyfriend and i it's it's been difficult to live here because the culture is so different than in europe or in south america like for instance the the religion is one of the things that it's it's uh it has shocked me the most because there's so much muslim people you know and like it's totally different than i ever thought you know what i mean um like i've never been here with like for example uh the they pray every five days uh i think five days uh five times a day sorry so you can hear like the mosques you can hear them praying or playing music you know so that's kind of a stuff is like oh my god that's crazy you know or also the um the woman wear their <overlap>

Brazilian: five times a day

Chilean: pardon

Brazilian: five times in a day they're praying they they're like having break during work to pray

Chilean: yeah yeah actually they have uh praying rooms in many places so people go to pray there it's crazy that's why it's like oh my god yeah it's it's just extremely difficult extremely different so of i ever seen in my life before yeah so yeah but i'm i'm really happy because the landsca landscapes are amazing um beautiful leaf forest so it rains a lot as well and yeah i like it i really like it

Brazilian: amazing

Chilean: what type of food do you

Brazilian: can i ask you something else

Chilean: tell me oh sorry i was about to ask you something else tell me

Chilean: mm hmm yeah

Brazilian: and all the countries you have been before which one is your favorite do you have one favorite and why

Chilean: yes i have one ireland is my favorite <laugh>

Brazilian: ireland okay <laugh>

Chilean: yes it's the most beautiful country in the world um i have a special connection with the land and um

Brazilian: okay

Chilean: yeah i dreamt a lot about ireland before going there i lived there three years and um i still feel the same connection than the first uh time uh i think i probably lived before in past life there or

Brazilian: okay

Chilean: i don't know i was meant to be there but i feel the connection with the land and also i think the landscapes are unique you know there's it's so rocky

Brazilian: yeah they are

Chilean: so many cliffs you know you know because you live there so yeah uh and the weather is amazing as well like i don't like hot weather what about you do you like hot weather mm hmm

Brazilian: i like the hot weather i got used with the weather here it's totally different like from my home country right

Chilean: yeah

Brazilian: but i don't know it's like i'm really enjoying now the sunny days we are having here but i know it's for a short time you know <laugh> as in three months but it's okay it's nice one thing that kinds uh annoy me is that we have uh such a long day like the sunset's ten uh ten p m so for me it's like i i got lost in my time schedule

Chilean: yeah

Brazilian: because for me is it still day it still like five p m because i still have sun in the sky

Chilean: yeah

Brazilian: but no it's like ten p m <laugh> it's fine

Chilean: it's so weird isn't it but at least you've ever like maybe the the day seems longer you know that's good

Brazilian: yeah the day seems longer but yeah it's a bit confusing for me but it's fine (())

Chilean: <laugh> i understand i understand and um what about food what is your favorite food

Brazilian: uh now that i'm now that i'm far away from my country and i can say that my favorite food would be every food my mom cooks <laugh>

Chilean: aww that's so cute <laugh>

Brazilian: but uh in a way thinking that my family comes from the countryside right

Chilean: mm hmm

Brazilian: so especially a lot of vegetables uh grains like beans and rice all that kind of stuff with a lot of seasoning but not spice please i can't handle spice <laugh> because i got to i start sweating a lot if i'm eating spice and i like to enjoy

Chilean: oh my god i understand

Brazilian: the food i don't like to be like oh my god i'm gonna burn here no

Chilean: all sweaty the sweat on your body ugh

Brazilian: yeah

Chilean: i dislike

Brazilian: yeah yeah that's the thing i i the thing i most miss i'm missing hearing in ireland is this about the the food and the vegetables that we have a lot in the other countries and here it's kind of limited you know

Chilean: mm hmm

Brazilian: it's always peppers peppers potatoes and peppers <laugh> and that's it

Chilean: <laugh> oh my god yeah

Brazilian: but it's nice i can get to used of this and when i'm missing too much some recipe i can try to reproduce them here so

Chilean: yeah

Brazilian: it's not a big deal

Chilean: it's not

Brazilian: i think i can find ways to you know

Chilean: yeah

Brazilian: to

Chilean: and do you do you like

Brazilian: normalize

Chilean: do you buy food in the in the supermarket mostly yeah

Brazilian: yeah mostly in the supermarkets now i'm getting the restaurant because i work in the restaurants right

Chilean: mm hmm

Brazilian: but i'm used to cook my own food not spend money like getting takeaways first because i'm a student second because it's kind of always the same thing and i like to get a lot of options you know

Chilean: yeah i understand i understand

Brazilian: do you have a favorite type of food

Chilean: um i not really <laugh> i

Brazilian: no

Chilean: i like different kind of um i um i don't know i don't have a favorite to be honest i enjoy the food that i feel in the moment for example here in where i am now in asia i enjoy more fresh food for example because i it is very hot so you need something fresh like salad or uh vegetables you know fruits that's amazing 'cause here there are so many fruits in ireland i used to crave more um potatoes <laugh> because it is offered the most there um and uh like fried stuff you know cause it's cold and you need fat and um fat basic i'm vegetarian so uh it's it is been difficult to um have um uh to get protein okay and um all the tofu and um other type of like protein sources uh vegetarian sources are very common here like beans lentils chickpeas and stuff so i try to buy this stuff from the supermarket and add it into my salad and now also my boyfriend uh has problems with gluten <laugh> so we wanna become more gluten free um and also this is also a big challenge here 'cause like uh um gluten free stuff are not common because people don't suffer from um celiac diseases here um probably or we think it because like they don't use so much bread it's not like in europe or in south america that we use a lot of bread uh here is more um vegetables fruits and grains these type of grains that are not so common no it's not wheat you know so it's um um sorry it's it's it is there is wheat included but not in like in this format you know so we have to be very careful with what we buy now we had to change we cannot like go to a restaurant and um buy the same food that others buy because it could be contaminated by wheat and stuff you know so yeah

Brazilian: yeah

Chilean: um it's a huge challenge <laugh> and we are gonna try to do our best yeah it's it's difficult

Brazilian: yeah

Chilean: but it is possible

Brazilian: yeah i know like

Chilean: what

Brazilian: for example i'm working in a restaurant now and we have not uh full menu and and not even like fifty percent of the menu but i can say like around thirty percent of the options are gluten free due to this celiac disease people face here

Chilean: mm hmm

Brazilian: and we are work i think brands they are working to improve this kind of options for customers because now we have an increased number of vegetarians and vegans and also about uh increased number of uh celiac disease as well so people are being more responsible about what they're eating or choosing to eat

Chilean: yeah

Brazilian: so that's nice i think brands are working to get there and offer more options to to customers because brand is like more to give an experience than they just sell the product right

Chilean: yeah

Brazilian: so this restaurant i'm working now i think they are on their the right way for example have a vegan and vegetarian menu uh main menu that's let's say the common and normal menu with all the steps for people who doesn't have any disease doesn't have problems with dairy products or celiac products you know and but also have the options for everybody because we want to offer food that everybody can eat and have a great experience and taste another another flavor from another country you know

Chilean: yeah

Brazilian: for example here in ireland it's really common in other restaurants people order their main course and some chips the french fries as a side

Chilean: mm hmm

Brazilian: but at the restaurant i'm working the italian restaurant we don't have chips and people get shocked when we say we don't have chips here <laugh>

Chilean: oh really that's so weird

Brazilian: (())

Chilean: yeah

Brazilian: exactly <laugh> but yeah it's we have like options that you can substitute you can choose instead chips you can get some crunch nice things that so it's vegetarians vegan celiacs and dairy restrictions diets so it's really nice awesome

Chilean: and and do you do you do you get to some vegetarian dishes or you are with by sorry you always get the one with meat have you tried the ones that are vegetarian

Brazilian: i always try everything because i like like variety you know i don't i like meat as well i can't lie i do like meat but i do like uh new options of food you know for example in my the food when you asked me about the food i was missing my favorite food for example in my home in my my house there in my home country it'll be a lot at least five types of vegetables uh grains like rice and beans and maybe we can get some meat with the with the lunch you know but it's not we need to have meat it doesn't need to so i can eat everything

Chilean: you're not picky at all

Brazilian: no i'm not picky <laugh> not really <laugh>

Chilean: here in um where i am now i people consume a lot of fish because it's basically all ocean around and um so i try fish after like fucking two years something two years

Brazilian: okay and

Chilean: and um

Brazilian: reaction

Chilean: what

Brazilian: any reaction in your body or

Chilean: well i don't like <overlap>

Brazilian: makes you feels like the same or you thought too weird

Chilean: i didn't it was uh delicious and um yeah i didn't uh find any difference and it was also with a very well condimented with uh oil and and lemon and stuff so it was it was nice but i i won't consume that much because my body already it's like used to not eating fish and i also am consuming this um o omega three tablets you know that ones

Brazilian: okay yeah

Chilean: yes so yeah so i won't uh consume that much so i don't need it i i at least like if i always listen to my body and if i don't need something i don't consume it you know i've been craving lo loads of um vitamin for example like uh vitamins like c or d so i'm getting a lot of fruits and i feel like my body is already reacting to this 'cause i it's something that i needed 'cause i i stopped eating uh meat when sorry uh fruits when i was in norway and in ireland and now i'm coming back to the my old habits so yeah

Brazilian: if you don't mind to say why you stopped to eat fruits is it because you you were like having problems to find nice fruits or just because you had another type of diet

Chilean: uh no it's because like i never liked that much the fruits in in ireland <laugh> i never find it like so um um tasty i don't know if that happened to you like it's not so tasty and i don't like it

Brazilian: yeah i try to get fruits at least once per week here shop then at least once per week but for example the strawberry i can say that now is the first time i'm getting sweet strawberries here in ireland

Chilean: mm hmm

Brazilian: like and i'm buying strawberries every week for at least eight months <laugh>

Chilean: yeah <laugh>

Brazilian: so yeah

Chilean: oh my god that's delicious

Brazilian: that is the first time i'm getting sweet strawberries really nice 'cause i think now it's the best season for them here

Chilean: yes

Brazilian: due to the weather all the the stuff we have here and the problems with the land

Chilean: yeah

Brazilian: but it's difficult to grow fruits here and have a a nice taste bananas for example for me they're they don't taste the same thing mango i try to get a mango like in the past and no no it's totally different

Chilean: no

Brazilian: but

Chilean: you didn't like it

Brazilian: that's right you keep trying you know <laugh>

Chilean: yeah you know that and um there's a (()) the blueberries are all over the place now

Brazilian: yeah

Chilean: oh that's amazing

Brazilian: they're nice

Chilean: yeah

Brazilian: but they're expensive as well <laugh>

Chilean: and um have you traveled that much around ireland in the last couple of months

Brazilian: no not really i was talking yesterday with my friend that i'm living here for three years and i'm always having the problem that or i don't have the visa that makes me able to travel around or i don't have the time to go or i don't have the money you know so i'm not getting too hard on myself as well due to this i'm just trying to finish all my stuff like college for example

Chilean: mm hmm

Brazilian: and then when finish i can plan and travel and (()) the island and also other countries visit more europe you know 'cause i think it'll be the best way for me 'cause i can get too distracted if i got another kind of stuff like trips on my way on my routine when in college or working for example you know

Chilean: and when you have the time to to travel where you wanna go in europe

Brazilian: i think the most basic destination will be london at first because i haven't been there right and then i'm thinking about go again to malta to visit my friend who's living there and i have another friend arriving there and also italy i want to be in italy doesn't matter if it be summer or autumn but i want to visit i think it's a nice country to to visit nice landscapes you know

Chilean: have you <overlap>

Brazilian: have you been in italy

Chilean: yes i've been in few cities in italy and it's beautiful but i went um in summer uh and it was scalding scalding like it was awful it was like forty degrees i don't know and i couldn't stand it um so it was kind of difficult the trip i'm not really i cannot really stand the hot weather as you can see so um i stay mainly in hotels you know with air conditioner on and uh also it's um it's difficult to enjoy the cities uh when it's too hot because you cannot do that much work you know it's you get really tired fast um so yeah i enjoy the city but not really that much the cities there i went to pompeii uh rome um i forgot one city in the north and the other one venice venice was absolutely beautiful so i strongly recommend to go there it's beautiful you should go there definitely
