Luxor Dos Reis Buzios

... It´s very different to Spanish but also quite similar. That´s what can throw you. You think you know what you are ordering but the joke´s on you!! Anyways - Buzios was a quiet and well deserved rest. A whole day on the beach and we were nicely browned. A full 8 hours we spent there that day. That´s like a days work. It was hard... :) So hard in fact that we had to go back to Rio to party some more.

... of a mountain... hang-gliding over the city of Rio de Janeiro..... AWWWEESOME!!!! I flew out over the sea for a bit before eventually landing on the beach..."Like how flamin cool is that." So, what next! Next thing I knew we were in a taxi going to the world famous "Maracana Stadium". Sarah´s plan was to buy tickets to a game for Sunday... sure enough we got the tickets but we also had our scariest travelling moment.... EVER!!!!!!! We had ...

... been getting along with him just fine. On March 6th I went to pick up a SCOOTER that I had purchased on March 3rd. I was so excited...I mean...I had saved the money ($1,500 for a 2002 Kasinsky) and was just tickled pink to be mobile and not have to squeeze my way into buses every morning and then fight my way out in the evenings. I had never ridden a scooter or motorcycle before...but figured it wasn't rocket science and would learn as needed. I went at lunch time ...

... the last few days... I will expand upon it sometime later, but right now I have had very little sleep and really should head to bed soon. Like last time I was here, the days are pretty much spent at the beach. It is hard not to go there, but when it is so hot and muggy, it just calls your name. Plus, Brazil in general, but especially Rio, has the whole beach thing down so well that it is so enjoyable to spend an entire day there. The ...

... room. I kept calling the real estate place I rented my apartment from trying to get them to do something about my leakage problem (the last straw was when on Thursday morning at 6 AM, I awoke to water dripping on my face) and they just kept telling me that every house in Macaé was leaking because no roof could withstand the kind of rains we were experiencing. Well, I didn't like that answer. So, I called the owner of the property. They were baffled at my leak ...

... have a roomate! Her name is Lívia and I have known her since February (Carnaval) this year. She is from Campos (a city 2 hours away by bus) and landed a similar job to mine with a different oil company. She used to have this other job in Macaé and was commuting back and forth every day...but now things are just too crazy and she works late and just doesn't want to deal with the commute anymore. I have this big-ass apartment with minimal furniture and just me in ...

... There are 6 days left until my birthday! I will be turning 28 years old. I have to say...things were not looking good for me at all. With internet I started feeling a bit better (at least I could talk to people) and I got two calls from English schools last week. One wanted me to fill out some paperwork and the other invited me for a 1-month training thing. Not sure how I feel about the training...it's 3 hours of my day (Mon-Fri) for one month...with no pay...AND no ...

... friend to a concert in Cabo Frio, a half hour taxi ride away. The mayor paid for him to come play for independence day, so the concert was free, his name is Dominouinhos. I can't pronounce that but I guess he's really famous here. The music was awesome and the people were all dancing and singing. I've got to work on my dance moves, they were trying to teach me how to move my feet, but I kept stumbling. I hung out on the beach again today and met a couple from Niteroi, an island outside ...
