Cleiber and I pick up Julianna and drive to the bus station so I can purchase a ticket to my next destination which I guess will be Curitiba.  Why Curitiba, I don`t know actually.  It is close to Foz do Iguacu and supposedly it has a young college population so maybe I will spend New Years there.  I bagged the going back to Rio idea to hang with Mel as Rio is way out of my way.  I have to be in Beunos Aires by the 5th in order to get money so I can pay for my apartment.  This was probably stupid of me as Rio is supposed to be awesome on New Years and 2 million people head to Copacabana beach to watch the fireworks and like 1,999,997 are dressed in white.  This also sounds like a pain and it is really hard to find a place to stay in Rio over New Years.  So, I decide on Curitiba. 

Anyways, we just fuck around downtown for awhile and get some food and crap.  As we are eating at this one spot someone breaks into Cleiber`s car.  He owns a Fiat which is a Brazilian brand and a complete piece of shit.  Even for how cheaply this car is made it still costs $24,000R.  This car is put together about as well as Woody Allen.  All they had to do was pull on the door right where the top of the door is flush with the roof.  They dug their fingers into the little groove and just bent the metal until they could reach their hand in and unlock the door.  Thankfully not much was in there and Cleiber`s hooptie doesn`t have a radio for this exact reason.  I am in complete dismay.  Are you joking?  The metal is that flimsy that a person can just bend the shit out of it?  The answer is yes.  Holy crap, I would not want to get in an accident in this car.  You would be smashed like Nick Nolte on any day of the week and twice on Sunday.  So Cleiber is pretty salty, not because they stole a blanket from the trunk (that was the only thing in there) but because his door is now fucked as a huge gap exists where the door is supposed to seal to the roof.  But I`m like you know what, if it can be bent out why can`t it be bent back in.  So I take off my shirt (joke, I really didn`t) and open the door and brace the door against my leg and just pull on that bitch like Gene Simmons pulls wool.  After several attempts I actually get the door bent back to more or less it`s original position and now I am everyone`s hero and I finally feel as if I contributed something to this family.  Cleiber is much happier and everything is fine in Belo. 

Later Cleiber and I go out and pick up Lea and the funny girl from the night before and we go out for awhile.  And yes Cleiber cheats on his girlfriend again (not real cheating, but still) and once again I question his morals (I really don`t care, more of a joke, I really like Julianna though) and once again he tells me he is Brazilian and that`s what Brazilians do.  Fair enough.  I will never question another country`s culture, I may make fun of it, but never question it.
