Most people thinks it's a plus,mainly the men. lol
There is nothing to worry about,i see blonde and blue eyed girls everytime in my city.In case you don't know,Brazil has many people from Polish,German and Ukranian descendance and most of these people look like you.

I only have to advice you of the sun,you need to use a sun protector with a high protection factor,i'm white but not pale as you and i do suffer a lot because of skin burn.There is another thing i almost forgot,prepare yourself for being asked out a lot by the guys here. lol

You must be pretty,i've heard that Lithuanian girls look very nice.Anyway,welcome to my country and feel yourself at home.South East is a great place to live,i live in a big city of South East called "Belo Horizonte",it's a very welcoming place and nowadays i've seen many foreigners here.

They won't think much of it, as to them "all gringos have milk-cheezy skin". I'm a Scot residing (23 yrs) and working as a tour guide in Rio myself, and no-one's ever given me or my visitors/clients much trouble beyond cheerful co-playable jokes. Also: After a few months here even the "cheeziest" gringo takes on Sudeste flairs, whether it's on, or under, the skin. There's even an exotism in being sooo white, so you'll always have a subject. The gals might even find all that quite "hot".

We dint worry, we are happy people.
We love you any way...

We have every type of people in Brazil. What sets a foreigner apart is not so much the way they look, but the way they dress and talk. There are loads of pale skinned people all over Brazil. Usually Brazilians play around with pale people saying that they need a tan or something (like cisne n.egro did and got a whole bunch of thumbs down, poor thing, she's just joking Brazilian style! hehe). If they tell you that, it's not because you're a foreigner, it's because they say that to everyone that's pale regardless where they're from (I've been told that loads of times cause I'm very white myself). It's just a way of playing around. :)

Sorry, girl, but your appearence is common in Brazil. Most common than somebody from USA can imagine.

I adivise you sign up in orkut.com. It's similar to MySpace and you find more than 25 million of Brazilians in the communities (groups). See these communities and browse the profiles and you will see thousand girls just like you:

We have any type of person in Brazil. A lot (100 million) are white and many of these has a skin as light than as you. Remember that Brazil is not USA. Our climate is hotest and we have the highest levels of UltraViolet rays in the whole World, So, it's hardest to be pale in Brazil than in the USA.


Brazil is a nation of immigrants, so, nobody is considered different, here. Exist million like you here, in Brazil.

You are a Lithuanian and scottish descendant. Good. We have both, in Brazil.

http://www.standrewrio.com.br/

Not only LIthuania and Scottish descendants but, many other nations (25 only from Europe).

We are the largest Portuguese nation (32 million of descendants), largest italian nation outside Italy (25 million of descendants), largest black nation outside Africa, second largest german population outside Germany (18 million), largest arab nation outside MIddle East (15 million of descendants), largest japanese population outside Japan (1.8 million) and we have millions of European descendants from Spain (15 million), 5 million of Slavic (2 million from Poland, 1 million from Ukraine, 300,000 from Russia, 250,000 from Hungary and the rest from Croatia, Czech Republic, Belarus and LIthuania, among others) and 3.5 million of descendants of Dutch.

I invite you to learn more about Brazil watching my favorite videos in my Youtube channel:

You can be calm we put dark glasses when we looked at the gringos, like this we don't turn blind with the reflex of the light on the skin.
