Turns out the friends weren't clapping for our attempts at Portuguese
that inevitably came out as Espa-guese.
The Manaus English group is responsible for finding every foreigner
amongst the 2 million Manauaras. But behind
high walls and without doorbells, clapping at the door is the best way to let
the householder know you’re there. After
a short presentation explaining our volunteer work, most Manauaras are eager to
give away their foreign neighbors. In
only a year the group has an impressive 500 contacts. Maybe Angelino householders would be more
willing to come out if they too were greeted by a round of applause.
