To aqui ainda...
Hi guys,
I'm still here, no need to worry. With my school routine and some internet downtime I haven't gotten the chance to show and tell you more of my experiences, but trust me all is well.
I have been going out a lot more, making heaps of friends (my orkut has over 50 already) and in short, I am loving it here (Orkut, made by Google, is online community where you can add friends, upload pictures, write about yourself and message others, almost everyone here has it). My portuguese is still growing exponentially. Uziel and I just bought some grammar books, so we are going to teach ourselves over the coming weeks. This way I can go at my own pace and I'll pay a lot less.
At odd moments during the day, like walking down the busy streets here in Centro, I get these moments where I stand still, just glance around and take in everything and think; wow! I'm in Brasil. Sure there are some lonely times, when there is not much to do, but this is part of the deal. And the challenge is then to entertain myself.
There is much to say about the past few weeks, I could write you a novel. But I will use school time to write up some accounts and hopefully the computer let's me upload some pictures.
I'm having fun, I hope you are too!
Thanks to the Dutch Uncles for their messages in the guestbook.
Eu preciso sair, então, até mais!
