After twenty eight hours of waiting for airline connections, much anxiety and "a bit of curiosity, Brazilian students arrived at the Moline airport. It may sound weird, for foreigners to come to a small city in America instead of looking for some fun in the hectic cities of the country, such as New York; but, what some people may not know is that Davenport is considered as one of the best places to live in America, we soon learned that. By the time students met their respective families, it was all clear that the three weeks of studying wouldn't be boring at all. The warm welcome besides the cold of almost minus fourteen degrees was full of excitement and a bunch of big boards on which the names of the students were written. Everything went just as expected and the families ran into the visitors' rhythm. The Brazilians tried to bring a little bit of their country's heat inside their new homes.
