Holiday and school (Rio de Janeiro)

I got one day home after Fortaleza, which i spend with my two friends Gustavo and Guilherme, and then I was heading for Rio de Janeiro. Rio is a beautiful even if it's raining and you live in a not so good hotel. But sitting on Copacabana in the evening and just see the whole city lighten up, is not easy to describe. I really liked the harmony of nature and city it has and there was so many interesting people in that city. And off course i had a lot of fun with the exchange students! I always try to be as much with brazilians etc. but it's always nice just to have a break with people you share culture and almost language with :D

Super fedt initiative. Det var en danse gruppe for folk med down syndrom fyldt med energi :D

Holiday and school (fortaleza)

Heres a "little" about what i've been doing the past two month where i've been on christmas vacation (for almost two month, i'm not complaning). It have been a little difficult for me in the vacation, because the christmas in Denmark is in many ways more traditional, so I have been missing home + I didn't see my friends sooo much because of travelling. But i survived, and got to see A LOT of Brazil.

 The first trip I took was to Fortaleza to a big waterpark called "Beach Park". My dad, uncle, Karsten and I took the car and drove in 12 hours to get there. It was an amazing drive. It was like a whole new world when you came outside of the city, and it was here I really saw why Brazil is still a 3' world country. It was also interesting to see the different nature we drove through.
I also really liked Fortaleza and beachpark, though I got red as lobster. The beach was beautiful with turquoise water, we were out driving on rally and having fun in the waterpark.

View from my room, on a hotel me and the guys where sleeping at before my mum and the children came, so we could live in the right hotel. Got my own room because I was the only girl. Not bad, not bad at all!

Jeg ved ikke rigtig hvad arkitekten har tænkt på....

Feliz dia de ávore de natal

Today is December 1'st. It doesn't feel like it at all. The sun is shining, i'm sweating because i'm to lazy to put on the air-con and I had some plans about going to the beach :P 

In Denmark would December 1'st mean lighting the calender candle, put on a big sweater and also celebrate 1'st of advent (this year), you know it. 

In Brazil December 1'st is Christmas tree day where they have a lunch and "celebrate" the Christmas tree they put up and decorated the day before. 

We don't have the lunch and celebrate this day in my family, but we did decorate the tree yesterday, and it's beautiful. Though it's not the same as going out cutting a tree myself (with family of course). I'm kind of gonna miss having a real tree instead of plastic :P 

P.s I also got my first wax yesterday, so now i'm ready for all the beach cities i'm travelling to in the vacation. Which begins on Wednesday :D 

 I really don't know what happened with this picture.. It got all weird in the colors :(  

Oktober-November

The time just disappeared. I have been thinking of writing on the blog so many times, but I never got to do it. And now it's already christmas.. Meu deus. 

Oktober and november had a lot of things. Birthdays, sickness, hospital, travelling, school, parties, new friends and a lot of good times with my "old" friends. I also began having a little bit homesickness through these months, it comes time to time, but it's not bad at all.

 Meal after 12 km hiking in the baking sun

 It was at this waterfall i tried the most terrifying thing ever, and where I got the biggest adrenalin kick!  Me and two girls went behind the waterfall (it was so beautiful) and then me and one of them began looking down and joked about how tempting it was to jump, but still it would be too dangerous because of pressure (strømmen) and stones. So we just kept walking. After some time we looked down again. But this time we didn't joke, we began looking for a place with less stones and pressure, and then we jumped. As soon as i touched the water it took me down. I have never been so scared to die, and never fighted so much to keep me up and to swim away. But I did it, and I survived and I was high on adrenalin after! VIDA LOKA!!! :D 

p.s our tour guide told us after that most of the people who do that comes out dead. 

Notice the big ant

Hverdag

Ida og jeg til Halloween fest 

Small gifts from admires :P

This note was sent to me while i was sitting on a bar, by the waitress from two random guys. It says "you is very beautiful me add in facebook", "we are going to a concert in centro" "number of the guy with the blue shirt" and "obs = you can call the snake" 

I got the palm rose from one of my friends a day on the beach.

Meus pretos to Nando Reis concert. Perfect evening with beautiful people and good music!

A perfect weekend!

You are all gonna hate me for what I'm about to say now (except my brazilians) but after this weekend I realized that I really don't want to go home! 

This weekend, I went out with some  of my  best friends (if not the best of them) I have here Brazil. We went to the most beautiful place of São Luis: Centro Historico. 

We first met at my friend Meireles house (which apparently was very difficult for the taxi driver to find.... Hate those guys). At meireles we also met some of his friends, where one of them suddenly started to talk Danish to me, which led to me talking Danish to my friends, who really don't understand it.. After everybody was there, and had played some wii, we took the bus to Centro Historico. It maybe doesn't sound as much, the whole taking the bus thing for a person from Denmark, but it's a big adventure here, especially for my friends that never takes it (long live rich man schools :p ). 

We arrived to Centro at the perfect time of the day. Not to hot, beautiful light and a calm street. There was local music in the street and actually a lot of gringos (tourists) sitting on small café's. We walked around and took some pictures, and at the end when the sun was about to go down, we went to the palace and looked over the ocean where the sun became orange and red while there was a roda, so you felt the atmosphere of Brazil. And it was at that moment, with the music, my amazing friends, the sun, the city and the nature that I realized; I really don't wanna leave this place. I know there is a long time to June 30. But I can't stand the thought about leaving these people! 

After we came home from Centro, I went home to Julia my best Brazilian friend and got ready to Luiza's (the girl I wrote about) birthday at a pizzeria. We came reeeally late, because of the twins (who mostly comes to late) drove us. So when we arrived the most of the guest where about to leave. But we managed still to have fun and eat to expensive Pizza :D 

So all in all I spend my weekend in really good company! 

Beijos

(The reason why I write in probably bad English is because my friends also wanna know what I'm writing on the blog and about them) 

If there is any doubt: no I don't have boyfriend here. I'm really trying not be in relationship here, despite how hard it sometimes is :)
