    Wow, I didn't know the Armenian community in Brazil was sizeable enough to have its own Armenian schools.

            What??? We have a HUGE Armenian community, speacially in Sao Paulo. There is even an entire neighborhood called "Armenia" (Sao Paulo has 18 million of inhabitants, it's the fifth largest city in the world and neighborhoods out there are bigger than cities here in the US. It takes a good hour and a half of commute for you to go from North Sao Paulo, to South Sao Paulo). Also, there is a subway station in that neighborhood called Armenia, we have monuments (in recognance of the genocide), famous celebrities out there who are Armenians. That actually reminds me there is this one Armenian lady (Araci Balabanian) very famous for a character she played in a soap opera where she portrayed Madam Armenia, a immigrant from Armenia who had this very heavy accent. Today you still find ppl immitating her and her accent.

            If I'm not wrong, we have 2 schools, Pre-K to High School, one Sports Club and at least 4 Armenian churches. Armenians out there are in a very close-knit group. Most of them own business related to shoe or clothing making (i.e All
            Star, Wrangler and other big names have franchises owned by Armenians).

            I'll see if I can find some websites with pictures for you guys to see it.

                  That's interesting that your name is spelled differently...I wonder if at some point we were all Minassians or Minasyans before someone decided to write it differently....
