Fun Facts!

You wanna know some fun facts about Brasil!! Ok!!! First off here it is not common to have a middle name. Yeah I know how different. Usually they have both the mom's maiden name and the dads sir name. Yeah that is why sometimes names can get really long cause they just keep adding the names to the kid's name. Most people will take away one when they get married. How cool is that! haha ok next fact! Here they eat dogs with mayonnaise and potato sticks.... you know the potato chips that are in a shape of a stick. Yeah I remember when I ate my first hotdog I was so excited cause I hadn't eaten a hotdog in a while and I thought you know hotdogs were a universal taste, but I was so confused when I got this hotdog with potato chips on it. Haha it was ok. I prefer my hotdogs chipless, but I will still eat it. Also, they do not have hotdog buns. Yeah instead they use like french bread. It still taste really good, but since the bread is wider usually people will have 2 hotdogs inside of one bun!!! So, as you can see basically everything is different here even hotdogs haha. But, I love all the different stuff it is exciting, and is always surprising me. Well, that is all for the fun Brazilian facts for today have a nice rest of your day tchau!!! :P :P  

Speech

So I had a speech today in Philosophy. I was extremely nervous cause I had to do it in Portuguese, and pronouncing is an extremely hard thing to do. But, I just love everyone in my class it made me feel less nervous. My friend and I spent like a whole class period just going through the speech, and helping me pronounce things. Then when it was time my class was dead silent, and if you don't know my class it is never silent. I guess everyone wanted to hear me speak in Portuguese. The beginning was hard with some confusing words, but the end was easy. Everyone said I did really good! Yayyyy!! Today I also played (well more like tried) to play soccer. Haha I did ok. It wasn't like a real game we were just trying to get in the goal on one side. We didn't want to play a real game because it was so freaking HOT!! My god, and they told me that it is just beginning to get hot it apparently gets worse! Well I wanted hot so I guess I got it. Enjoy the snow Wisconsin!! :) Tchau

Updating

Well hello I kept getting yelled at for not posting anything in a while, so I will give you some updating. First, I went to Hooters with them some friends, which was so much fun! I ate chicken fingers and I really missed chicken fingers so that was nice. Then another day I went shopping for some balada clothes ( balada is the club) because I was supposed to go this weekend but that didn't end up happening. But, I bought 2 outfits, a pair of high heels, and a little purse to care with me. I am so excited to go (when ever that may be). It's Brasil everyone parties a lot, so I can't wait to be part of that everybody. Other then that not much has really been happening. I have discovered I can kind of have a conversation in Portuguese if it is just me and one other person. More then one person talking I get lost, and tired cause I am trying to translate it all, and it just isn't working. So, yayyy that's exciting. Summer break is almost here! Well that's it for not tchau tchau!!

Halloween!

Happy Halloween!!! Today I had a party for Halloween at school. I didn't really have classes either today, so it was a lot of fun! We played some classes games you know against each others classes. They were a lot of fun! There was this one where we had to fit in a box, then the box kept getting smaller and smaller, until it was just this tiny little thing; so in order to fit everyone in my friend Melissa, and I had to get on top of someones shoulders. -_- I didn't like it hahaha, I thought I was going to fall, but we all made it in somehow so thats all that matters. I also got a bag of candy at the party. I was kind of missing Halloween, and just eating candy all day, but I felt better once I got the candy :).

Festa de Halloween

My Rotary club had a Halloween party last Saturday. It was a lot of fun, and we got to dress up!! I went as a German girl. I really liked my costume is was really cute. Sometimes I think they like Halloween more here then we do in United States haha.

25 de março

Today I didn't have to go to school!!! Because... I went to 25th street! Ahh 25th St. the dirtiest, smelliest place in Brasil....... I almost stepped on a hobo. The street is so crowded I started to get really stressed out because you know I really am not used to all those people in one area at a time (unless it is black friday). But this place is a shoppers dream. Everything is sooo cheaper (well at least compared to everything in Brasil). I went because I didn't have a costume for Halloween, but the ironic part was I didn't even end up buying one haha. But, I did buy a new phone case because my other one was so broken it wasn't even funny haha. But, for my Halloween costume, I went to my friends house to try on some of their costumes cause they have a lot. And, that is how I came across the belly dancer outfit. It is just a bra, and like this skirt thing. It was actually really cute, but I would never wear it in public hahaha. But, I thought it would be the funniest thing to send to my dad. So, I did hahaha. Ahh but no worry's that isn't my actual costume. My real costume is a german girl. It is really cute o my god I love it!!! The minute I tried it on I was like it is this one. Also, it isn't like extremely short too, it is perfect length!! I am so excited to wear it!! Also, today I went to a Halloween party at my sports club. I had a lot of fun. There was a haunted house and stuff, but honestly it wasn't too scary, but this is also coming from an American. Our haunted houses are extremely creepy...... I have seen people coming out of them just bawling. So, my opinion doesn't really count here haha. O but it was a lot of fun. I tried to get my friend to come into the haunted house with me by saying I won't ever get to go with you again, and it worked for a little bit, but then she went back. hahaha o well! Well I am going to go to bed cause people back home keep yelling at me to go to bed tonight for some reason hahaha Boa noite xoxoxox
