ok so I should write the post, here it is

stuff that I'm into but that you shouldn't care about really, I'm just saying:

- I like programming (unpopular opinion in the 'pos: dynamic typing can be alright)
- I like math (algebra is king)
- I like comics, though lately I've been out of the loop...
- I try to dabble into watercolors sometimes but I'm super bad at it

the thing about customs...

the best thing in my case is following what Beast of Bourbon did for my gift in 2014 which is... you should be vaguely honest about what you're sending, not TOO HONEST though. and definitely lowball what you send

Symbolic Butt posted:

I didn't look at the side of the package til I opened everything but lol at this:



last year customs held my gift til april (not joking) because of the high declared value and I had to pay a shitton of taxes to get it

oh man I forgot to take pictures and to write a letter before I sent it, I rushed everything that day

but it's great that everything came in fine, sorry about the banana smell, I was worried those candies would melt or something so I wrapped it a lot. it seems like it did nothing for the smell lol

yeah these candies are great, I discovered them recently and the passionfruit are the ones that I usually buy. I didn't even remember I sent you banana ones lol. the other one had like a super exotic fruit from the amazon in it that I forgot the name but it was good and also liquor



it's supposed to be a box of local stuff, the phone thing was a brief but weird trend in Brazil inspired by a popular soap opera (or so I heard). you could see people riding the bus answering calls with these gadgets

kinder eggs' toys are super lovely nowadays, sorry if you expected better. I bought one for me and I was severely disappointed. https://mobile.twitter.com/symbolicbutt/status/810571026828509184

trivia: the kinder eggs are made in argentina, meanwhile the kinder chocolate bars are made in brazil. that explains the lack of that blue eyed white boy I guess



the Mercado Municipal is my favorite place in Curitiba, I got a bunch of stuff from there to send you



this gif made my day, my mom bought this guy and she was like "this is most yospos thing" and I was like "hell yeah, I'm so sending one of these"
