... br><br>When I got back, I met and chatted with my French roommate for a while. Soon, two more French girls checked in and we started talking to them. We all ended up going to a nice place to eat that overlooked the city and had some good food. After dinner, we went to go dancing. Sort of!!!! We went to a club that was playing music called Coco! It was very African in it's nature. The place was packed with hippy ...

... being very respectful of whatever her name is´s feelings (i suppose it doesn´t help that I don~t know her namè) and keeping low key. He has also been honest and open with her exactly where we are at any time, classes, what shows etc and has drawn the boundaries that my time with him is my time and her time is hers. Well! we turn up back at stage, are having a great time dancing, laughing, enjoying the show laughing and grimacing as the conductor, conducting standing on ...

Seems all my training has paid off. Everyone else was breathing heavy and sweating it out and as we trained with Anderson a few drops of perspiration broke out but I was fine. Not half as hard as Salvador. Also, Anderson tested our strength and flexibility and had us doing sit to stand turns and balances using stomach strength on one arm and leg, then the other, all in plank position. Myself and one other classically trained dancer did it, everyone else ...

... and bakery. We wandered on to the beach where we saw signs saying that there was a greater than average risk of being attacked by a shark at this beach. Hmmm.... Today was Independence Day in Brazil so there were many people on the beach. There was also an international music festival (MIMO) finishing today. We headed back to meet our guide and he proceeded to walk us around the historic centre of Olinda. He explained a number of interesting things about ...

... be great contacts and we´ll probably organise a cultural exchange in Australia with them, Carlos, Demais and some other drummers - to perhaps organise a weekend workshop of Maracatu (dance, capoera and drumming) and then get students to study here for month or so. As far as I know there´s a little Maracatu in Canberra (one of Demais´s friends) but not much at all elsewhere. They can get sponsorship from the Government to come but just need help translating ...

... I have become Brazilian now because I got lucky on the beach, little do they know how innocent it was, but I laugh and smile along and just play coy. I didn´t notice but apparently all the girls were hanging off him wanting to be with him that night and instead he chose to walk with me. He is quite a nice looking man, like a lot of the people here a bit of a mixture, of african, native brazilian and portuguese. His skin is white(ish) but you can see defining features ...

... didn´t quite work... so new camera coming up. Apparently there is a bit of a maffia here and we were quite lucky to have just had a bit of rifling and not much more. Anyway the transit time is always the most dangerous. We´re here now and I absolutely love it. In my dreams it was just like this, and I still feel a bit overwhelmed by it all. Its so great here. People are completely friendly, the food is exquisite, the street party is the best in the world. The preparations are ...

... Estudantes da UFPE foram envolvidos nas atividades do projeto e os resultados do evangelismo no campus foram muito satisfatórios. Foi também uma oportunidade de desenvolvimento da equipe que trabalhou conosco. ORAÇÃO Depois da maratona do sustento, enfim o projeto missionário! E para começar, nada melhor que orar, clamando ao Senhor por vidas transformadas e por milagres. No primeiro dia na universidade ...

... drinks, then drawn a handful of streets to make it look like a proper map. Most of the tiny streets, none of which are named, were totally missing from the book. We had to ask several people where the Metro was, but the accent here is so confusing most failed to understand us. Back on the train a man who spoke Spanish kept Barbara talking while the train rolled straight past our stop, but there was only 1 more station then it brought us back to the bus station. The well-dressed man had ...

My two months in Brasil have come to an end. Feeling quite sentimental about leaving my brasilian life behind and now facing a new country and language (i am experiencing bolivia for the first day today..) I figure I will wait to drink about it (until this evening at least..) and write about it. From the plane ride over, Brasil has been nothing but an adventure! Landing in Rio as the sun rose over the cidade mervilosa was pretty surreal! Then being shovelled ...
