Boa noite

I am sorry for the lack of update the last few days. The internet here s-u-c-k-s and I share the computors with a whole bunch of backpackers that probably do the same as I do, so there you have it.

I don´t really know where to begin.

The hostel is cool. I´ve met a lot cool people, and a few not so cool. And since it´s like 20 meters to the ocean I spend some time there every day before I spend four hours training dance and capoeira.

I am still sick, or my voice still hasn´t recovered from the cold yet; The only thing that needs to be in shape in five weeks. But now I kind of have a Whisky-ish kind of sound, which is cool too. But I can´t really sing since my voice breaks all the time. But as I said, I still have five more weeks to get better again.

I spend my "spare time" with some girls from England and two just gorgeous PTs from Australia. You know like drawling hot, and really nice too!

Yesterday there was this festa called Yemanjá at Rio Vermelho (red river). It was really nice and really crowded. And I don´t even think that was somewhere near to what Carnaval is about. One part of me really wants to stay here longer, and one part are just craving for more. But I am leaving for Buenos Aires on Sunday, for sure.

My capoeira skills has improved quite a lot actually. I wouldn´t say I´m good, but a lot better! And I am enjoying it more and more, that´s one part why I want to stay here. And aslo because of the dance. I just love it. Love love love. And today my teacher said to me "I just love the way you dance, you could have a future in this". I meen wow! Oh and the style we dance is Afro dance from Salvador.

Speaking about improving... My portuguese has improved quite a lot too, which is fun. Just about 1,5 week ago I gave up and that´s when things started to happen. Again, I wouldn´t say I´m good, but I can actually kind of have a decent conversation. All this in 35 days my friends.

I am just so proud over myself in a way. I meen, most of you think I am living life in Paradise. Well, yes, I am... but Paradise is hell. You can never settle down and you always have to be open for changes. And changes happens a lot! More than I could ever imagin it would do. And nothing is like home. The transportation-system is soo bad, to buy food in the store is different, to figure out how to get from one city to another... nothing. I love it, and yes I am in Paradise. But Paradise is not as easy and relaxed as you may think.

It is time for bed.

Tomorrow I will have to buy my ticket to Buenos Aires. I am definitley going to the beach. Either with Rahel and some other guy called Indio from Sweden, or with the two girls and the hottest guys here right now. I think I´ll skip Capoeira class tomorrow to go to a Capoeira event that starts at the same time as practice do. But I don´t know. Oh and I agreed having a beer with a guy from the capoeira group; Lior 29. After that I will go to a reggae (how do you spell it?) club/bar with the guys from the hostel.

Well, there you have it.


Ps. I had my first Subway visit since I left LA. I kind of felt ready for that. I was not as good as I remember it. Some things I guess you should just don´t go back to, and instead just remember the good taste it once had.

Yes that´s a metaphor.
Good night!
