Usually if you get to talking to a Brazilian about places in the U.S., they typically know N.Y., Miami, Orlando (Disney!), and Cali. and Maybe Boston- lots of Brazilian immigrants there. Rarely when I mention Indianapolis a person will recognize it- usually from the Indy 500. However, tonight while going to get my midnight sack from the gas station nearby, the lady behind the counter asked me which country Im from, then from there started talking about Michael Jackson- so I mentioned that Im from the state where he was born and raised. She said oh Indiana!! (prounounced Eeenjeeyawnaw in Portuguese). Then she asked me to translate a chorus to an American gospel song on her radio. Made my night.
