My New Life Plan

Today I came up with a new way to fulfill my requirement to serve the U.S. government in a diplomatic capacity. I’m going to open a chain of cafés across the U.S. and Brazil that will only serve two items, which I have deemed the national food of each respective country: peanut butter/grape jelly sandwiches and açai na tigela. The cafés will play a select playlist of pagode, funk, and samba to rep Brazil and classic rock and old school hip hop to rep America. Brazilians and Americans will hang out there to chill, play chess, watch documentaries, and discuss foreign policy and cultural issues that are relevant to both countries (e.g. ways to encourage sustainability in the private/public sectors, the rise of plastic surgery, biofuels, consumerism/globalization, etc). People will share ideas, understand each other better, and fill their bellies with delicious food. There will also be Thursday dance parties. Get excited.
