turning jap...er brazilian?

So (warning men, if girl stuff bothers you, stop reading) brazilians dont shave the top half of their legs. If they shave their legs at all. And I havent shaved the top half of my legs in a while. Its weird, I would NEVER go out in the US with even a little bit of hair on my legs. But I feel totally comfortable going out like that here. Maybe its cause its too freaking hot to not wear shorts here. anyways. i swear when I get a good bit of time ill talk about Rio and my last weekend on the fazenda (farm). beijos gente!

you know you want to listen....

you realize how bad your grammar is in your own language from learning the grammar in another.
Im pretty sure after brazil, i will speak portuguese more correctly than english.
:)

JUST FYI

for those of you wondering why im about to have a billion posts in like 2 days, its because I am attempting to catch up. soooo this is alll crap that happened the past couple of weeks. peace, love and procrastination.

only in brazil.....

so I was walking home one day from the historic center when I encountered these people.....
some sort of modern art? no idea. but it looks pretty coooool.

party!

So before I went to Rio, it was my friends sons birthday. It was really interesting to see how a normal activity like a birthday is different and similar to the US. Birthdays there are really a big deal, so matter what the age. They all have themes, lots of decorations, TONS of food, games, party favors and basically the entire neighborhood comes. I will be updating facebook soon with all of the photos that I have taken within the past couple of weeks, so keep looking for them. Illl prob also update this post.
I helped Cristal with the preperations for the party. We literally spent two weeks cleaning up the house and patio area outside getting ready. we spent two days buying party favors, food and decorations. after that we spend another two days making the food. And in true brazilian fashion, the actually part started 4 hours after it was supposted tooo...........
For about 50 people, they served a full brazilian meal called Carurú, had a HUGE cake, and TONS of sweets. Not gonna lie, im about to brag. I made ALL the sweets BY MYSELF!!!! over 500 little balls of sugar, chocolate, coconut and more. considering it was only the third time in my life making bridagerios, I would like to say it was a success. And I shall be making them for xmas dinner. :)

toooo long

so i got lazy for a while and then was in RIO! so i havent been able to post for a while. so imma gonna try and catch up now. kinda.
