The State.

I live into one of the biggest cities here, kinda close to the capital, but not there.

OK. the city I live in is called London, it has around 383,000 people. It is 15th biggest city in Canada, and the 6th biggest city in Ontario. However, Sao Paulo state has more people than all of Canada combined!

Oh wow, I knew there were too many people living here but I didn't expect it to be more than an entire country (And a huge one at that!). I'm from São Paulo too by the way. Also never knew that there was another London in the world, lol.

My city has basically twice as many people as there, a bit less. I think it's around the 5th to 7th biggest city in our state, it's a pretty well known city and the head of our region, but where I live here is pretty calm, here in Sao Paulo, outside of the capital and its glued cities, we call the other cities as "cidades do interior", they are usually poor and very slow paced cities, those were the cities I used to go at work, and my birth city as well, I actually like all that peace, but a handful as mine are actually big and decently rich (for our standards) even as they don't look or feel like first world big cities at all.

One of my city's strongest nicknames is Brazilian California, actually xP

It's called Ribeirao Preto (black river, actually Rio is river but I don't think you guys have a english word for Ribeirao, is almost a river but still not as big as one)

OK, so your city is still pretty big! Yeah, I'm pretty sure that we don't have an English equivalent, but I think that it's like how in Portugues you have névoa while we have to separate words for it: mist and fog. At least it's like that in French.

There do seem to be quite a few Brazilians on this site. We actually have a Paris in Ontario too, and we used to have a city called Berlin until they changed the name because of the World Wars.



Been to El Salvador for 2 weeks, the best part about visiting there is the very cheap food/restaurants there compared to the USA



Proud to be a Californian.

Live in Canada, been to US a bunch of times, and went to Bahamas on a cruise once. That's about it. Never ventured outside of this time zone (yet).

I'm actually moving to London, Ontario at the end of April. Lived in Guelph for most of my life, and moved to Cambridge 2 years ago.

So, there'll be another user from London on this site! Have you ever been here before?

We actually have to words for that as well, nevoa and neblina.

OK. I assumed that since they were both Romance languages that they'd both just have one word for it.
