Thought some here may find this interesting:

I learned to love History in the 6th grade. Until then my favorite subject used to be Geography. Speaking about the bell, I learned about this on that year, and the saying in Portuguese is similar: "salvo pelo gongo" (literally "saved by the gong), but the remainder (except the Brides' Month, which is in May here) is new to me. Another thing that I remember is that, when the Europeans came, they were amazed by the fact that the indigenous people bathed in the river even on winter, as the Portuguese were only accustomed to bathe in the Summer.
