Mar Hotel Recife

... and locals having a good time. I cannot explain the dancing. The best way to describe it is A very polite mosh pit with everyone high. This was my first real night out in my travels and while I had some fun, I was ready to go to bed early. Did not happen!! 3:30am I got into bed. UGH!!!! I am too old for that.<br><br>The next day was very lazy and we all just hung out by the pool. By now, 3 more guys checked in and ...

... lá, um de manhã cedo e outro à noite (que não me servia porque chegaria lá só de madrugada). Fui informado então de que poderia pegar um transporte alternativo até Santana do Ipanema e de lá outro para Delmiro. Lá fui eu, andar de novo da rodoviária, que ficava fora da cidade, até o centro, para poder pegar a van. Cheguei a Santana sem maiores problemas, desci na rodoviária e fui ver ônibus para Delmiro... um de manhã cedo e outro à noite, me deu uma estranha sensação de déjà vu. Piorou a ...

... um cantinho que diz 'armas indígenas' e tem pendurados na parede alguns arcos e mais não sei o quê. Poderia bem ser em vez dessas armas um desenho de criança, daqueles que me pediam na escola para representar as diferenças enttre os índios e os 'colonizadores' que chegavam aqui. Quem quiser saber sobre a história dos índios xucurus-cariris (ou o contrário) não venha à terra de origem deles, antes pesquise no google. Mas até que gostei da cidade, tirando esse ponto dos índios. Ela tem ...

The meaning of existence can't be supplied by religion or ideology. Aviso: texto recheado de devaneios matemáticos e pior, pseudo-matemáticos. Quando eu era criança e via o programa do Chaves, havia uma cena que se repetia que envolvia as 'crianças', na verdade adultos vestidos assim, numa disputa para ver quem dizia o número mais alto. Elas tomavam turnos e, surpreendentemente, a criança mais esperta era sempre a última a dizer e sempre ganhava. Uns tempos depois, topei ...

... um "UFPE Jericó", dividimos pessoas em alguns grupos e caminhamos por todos os institutos, intercedendo pelos estudantes, porque acreditamos que é Deus quem pode derrubar barreiras intelectuais que tentam impedir o homem de conhecê-LO: humanismo exagerado, ateísmo e indiferença... além desta caminhada, tivermos reuniões de oração todos os dias pela manhã e, nas noites de segunda-feira, momentos especiais, quando ...

... One beach faces the Atlantic while the other beach swings around to the river flowing into the ocean. The water was greenish. Not the most beautiful beach I have seen but still nice. Maybe the contributing author went to Gunga on a better day. The taxi driver was creepy at times, and my stomach was bubbling violently at times, but for the most part it was a good day. Restless and wanting to move onto Rio. I flew off the next day.

... in a jampacked airport trying to board a flight that did not exist, in a world around me that I could not use words to communicate with.. Once I made it to Recife (where I spent almost 5 weeks volunteering in an orphanage) the culture shock hit me! I was living with an amazing family (a lady named Amparo, and her daughter Susanna) There were also 2 other voluteers (chief baby feather, and lia) and 3 family friends from Sao Paulo staying in the small appartment ...

... mode of driving by choosing to follow the smaller, slower state roads which are often in a much better state of repair and are relatively free of onerous traffic. Often hugging the stunning coastline, our route took us north out of Salvador, past endless sleepy fishing villages, until we reached one of the most famous beaches of Pernambuco State - Porto de Galinhas. It was a quiet week for us - a week for reflection, and a week of discoveries. We discovered the delights ...

... the 16th century up until 1888 (when slavery was officially banned in Brazil), to work in the sugar and tobacco farms. When we walked around the locals were always asking us where we were from and would get really excitable when they found out we were from South Africa - some were even surprised that we were not black?! We were 'fortunate' to meet another South African there, whose opening line was "Hey, Howzit, are you okes from the ...

... and not even know ing how to get to the beach the couple of local we met on the bus come to the rescue and take us to the old party sight... we walk through the village with chicken and goats roaming free to a place under a coconut tree where the river meets the sea- its beautiful. Are amused by locals riding donkeys and lots of little kids who play peek a boo while we are eating a huge feast of a dinner ...
