Comida Japonês

So I went with some friends today to a Japanese restaurant. I also took my friend from Japan there, cause you know I figured she would probably like some Japanese food lol. It is soooo good, I love Japanese food here because the fish is so fresh!!!!! But, I ate so much food! Then I was really full and they brought out this huge plate of sushi. I was like are you sure all of this is for us....... I was so full I could only eat like 2 pieces without exploding. But, was very good either way!

Praia

Well I just got back from the beach, and it was an amazing time!!!! I love the beach so much. I am very tan now too!!! Like almost black; sadly I will probably lose it all before I head back to Wisconsin :(. O well I took a picture as proof. While we were there we took a day and went to a town called Santos. It is a large city right on the beach. It was very pretty I liked it a lot. Also, while we were there one of Giulia's old friends' were there so I hung out with her a lot. O I went to this really good Japanese restaurant now I am really craving fried sushi!!!!!! O I have something to add it has nothing to do with the beach though........... Fruit here is insane. I don't know if I have even mentioned this but I love the fruit down here! All of these different kinds of fruits I had never even tried, or heard of in Wisconsin. Now there is a good and bad side to this. The good is the juice is absolutely amazing and fresh I had never tasted anything like it before. Now let me tell you a little story on why it is bad. One day I saw a fruit in the fridge that I thought was passion fruit, and with passion fruit you put some sugar and mix it with the seeds, and eat it; so that is exactly what I did. Only it tasted horrible! I had no idea what I did wrong; so I just threw it away. The next day my host family was cutting up a fruit to eat, and once I saw the inside I noticed that it was the same fruit that I tried the other day. So, I got nervous like O I don't want to eat that again it was so gross. And you know what happened after that yeah she the seeds out of the fruit and and threw them into the garbage -_-. Turns out what I tried to eat was actually a papaya where you throw out the seeds, and eat the fruit part. Yeah so that was very interesting day......... But, o well I still love fruit here!!! My favorite is mango; oooooo it is just perfect how will I live with out it when I leave!!!!! Well that is all for today ate mais!!!    

Holidays

Well I have been so busy lately. First off Christmas was good. I really missed my family though; it just wasn't the same. But, we went to the beach the day after Christmas!!!! I love the beach so much. I love New Years here!!!! Ahhhh it is so amazing. So, for new years what you do is wear white, and everyone goes to the beach. And, what you have to do at the beach is jump 7 waves. While, this is going on there are fireworks happening all the way down the beach! So many fireworks it was crazy!!! I loved it so much I had so much fun! I want to come back every year for it. Also I have gotten very tan like I have never been this tan in my life it is pretty awesome. Especially since right now it is -50 degrees in Wisconsin! Yikes I am sooooooo glad I am here you have no idea! I am back in São Paulo right now, but I am going back to the beach in a couple days, where I will stay until the 18th!!!! yayyy beach!!! I love you <3

Paulista

Hahaha sorry I haven't posted on here in a while! Well I am alive, and everything is wonderful! Today I went with an exchange student, and one of her friends to Paulista. Which, is basically São Paulo's time square. They have all of these stores, and since it is Christmas they have a ton of lights up! It is so pretty I really liked it. They had a ton of street performers too. They had, Elvis, Michael Jackson, and those statue people O it was very cool. Another thing that I think is cute about Brasil is that they sell corn on the street. Like ligit corn with butter, and salt; and they take it off the cob and you eat it. One of these days I really want to try it hahaha. Also, every Sunday they open up a bike lane on big streets, and today while walking down Paulista we saw Santa in a sleigh being pulled by guys on bikes! hahaha it was sooo funny, and we also saw a Santa riding down the street on a skateboard. O Santa's you are so crazy ;).

Shopping

I did it!!!!! I faced my greatest fear today........ going to the mall by my self. I was so scared that I wouldn't understand anyone or someone would ask me a question and I wouldn't know how to respond, but everything went perfect!! I bought a pair of sunglasses cause my other ones broke. I had nothing to worry about it was a piece of cake. Now that I know I can shop without any problems, look out mom and dad my credit card is going to loss some money cause I'm going shopping!!!!!! hahahaha

Ultimo Dia de Escola

Today was the last day of school!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh it was fun. The only reason I went to school today was my friends and I had a party. We also did secret friend, which is basically secret santa only this wasn't for Christmas it was for the last day of school. Guess what I got.............. the Hunger Games book in Portuguese!!!!!!!!! Yayyyyyy, now I can read it, and help with my Portuguese! And, the best part is it is mine forever; so I will also have a book in Portuguese :). I will make my kids read it mwahhahahahahah. O also Brazilians apparently love, no love is a too weak of a word to describe this; there is not a strong enough word for this, but they ADORE brownies!!!!!! O my god I made them to bring for the party cause we were all in charge of brining something, and next thing I know they were gone! They all said they loved them though hahaha so that is good.

Ibirapuera

Today I went with my friends to Parque do Ibirapuera. It was a ton of fun I liked it! We meet at my friends store, then we took the bus to the park. By the way that was my first time ridding a public bus, and I am not much of a fan hahaha. O also on Saturday I moved to a new family. I really miss my old family, but I do really like it in my new house (it is right next to the mall ;) )
