Rio, baby!

I had a blast in Rio de Janeiro. We hung out at the Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, walked a lot, visited Hippie market, ate acaí (I like it oh so very much), drank lots of beer and also sangría and went to see the Christ statue. After the trip I found out that one of my closest friends from Turkey was in Rio, as well. I didn't even know she was somewhere here and neither did she. What a shame..

I am happy to say that I've been talking Portuguese more than earlier, but I really could be talking more. I'm too afraid of making mistakes, I guess. If I only had more time here, I think I'd be ready to talk 1 month later but my time is running out. It really bugs me :(
I noticed I'm totally mixing all the languages I am using here (Finnish sign language, Brazilian sign language, Finnish, English and Portuguese.. I also spoke Swedish at the Canadian embassy :D)

Tomorrow we are maybe going to the Australian embassy and then the next day to Salvador (just with Hanna). I am happyyyyy.

Ps. I miss rye bread.

vinho

Today I noticed, AGAIN, how beautiful my big sister is. I didn't find the words to tell it to her, because I was afraid I would feel like a dumb ass.

We had a party, quite accidentally, yesterday. I had invited two of my friends to hang out with me but just one of them came. Then my Finnish friend arrived and before I noticed Luciano was making food and pouring some wine for people.

Seems like my days are ending here and I'm not comfortable with that fact. I promised myself to write here every time I'm abroad. Next time will be in July, I guess!

long time no a b c

I haven't been updating this journal for a long time and I feel quite bad about it. I've been quite busy and sometimes without the internet connection. We spent the Easter holiday in Chapada dos Veadeiros (google it, folks.. I might add pictures later if I know how to). It was marvellous. I liked the nature, the company, new people I met, the beer, the hiking.. I really like my big sister, she is awesome!

This weekened we are going to Rio de Janeiro. How exciting is that?

I really wouldn't like to go back to Finland, to be honest. Sure I love Finland, but at the same time I kinda plan how to stay here or at least how to come back to stay here for more.
