When we decided to move to Rio a year ago, we began researching and trying to learn about Brazilian culture. Somewhere, and I am not sure where, Jake found out that Brazilian's hang hammocks in their living rooms. We have been here six months and I have yet to see a hammock in any one's living room except the one proudly hanging in our own. As I type, Jake is trying to teach our 60 lb. boxer (Xuxa) to climb in the hammock. Xuxa just nailed him in the nuts while trying to jump in the hammock. It looks like...oh wait he is going to try again. He has the nerve to tell the dog that she is a pain and she would love sleeping in a hammock.
Jake actually got our dog to lie in the hammock and she looked happy about it. I have a good feeling about the hammock hanging in our living room. It portends good things to come. In the U.S. I never would have considered hanging a hammock in my living room, but why not? Why do our living rooms have to look a certain way? What does the "right" living room look like?
What does your living room look like? Does it represent you in some way? If some one just walked into your living room, what would they learn about you?
