Wake up at 4pm, that`s right 4pm, the latest I have slept till on this trip. I feel pretty crappy (not good crappy hogger) and I actually go for a jog on the beach to try to make myself feel better. It actually works as I sweat out most of the toxins but for the first half hour after running I feel like puking and like complete ass but then the endorphins start to kick in or whatever and my body responds by waking up and wanting to do stuff again. It`s not a very nice day out as it`s sort of misting and hardly anyone is on the beach. Gustavo and Christian are staying in tonight as Christian spent an inordinate amount of money and their sunburns I think are getting worse. I call Livia but the conversation goes absolutely nowhere, I can make out maybe 10% of what she says. Fuck, I hate foreign languages at times. I actually have the girl working in the hostel call her for me later on but she doesn`t answer. Ok, going out by myself tonight. Head to some club I saw the night before called Cristal or something like that. It`s $60R to get in which shocks me but the dudes standing in line tell me that you can drink up to $60R worth of liquor or beer or whatever. Oh, ok, that`s cool, I should have no problem doing that. Thing about Brazil, nobody tips bartenders here. But I have learned if you just give them a little something, just $1R, it goes a long way because it is so unexpected. So I tip $1R and I get the strongest caiprinha I have ever had. In fact it`s too strong at first and doesn`t taste very good but after about half way through it becomes money. I don`t really know what I do at the club. I know I drink like 6 of the strongest caiprinhas ever. Other than that , not much I don`t think, I guess I talked to random people here and there. Good thing about Rio or at least Ipanema and Leblon, most people speak English (well of course not Livia, but she`s from Flamengo, further north and not nearly as a well to do neighborhood, the more weathly the area, the more people speak English). I end up walking by these 4 girls and the one starts talking to me or dancing or something (I don`t exactly remember a lot from this night as I get tore down to the floor down, possibly my drunkest night in Brazil). 3 of the 4 are pretty sorry looking, but the one looks ok, so I start dancing with her and of course making out like always. Not sure what we do the rest of the night, but at like 6am we leave and it`s me and Juliana and two of Juliana`s friends (some guy and some chick who are together or whatever). We go to a bar to get food and more beer. Sweet, more drinks. Juliana`s friends are really cool and speak English really well so I end up talking to them most of the time. I kind of feel bad for Juliana as she has no idea what we are talking about (I always meet girls who don`t speak English, why is this, well at least their faces are symetrical) and the one dude has to keep translating for her but after awhile he sort of stops.
