Does Spotting Look Like

first time. . night away, football & movies

And again is about one weeks have passed and many things can happen. We were at last for the first time to celebrate, for the first time in football and are introduced more and more to the Brazilian way of life, in short, slowly but surely occurs everyday.
Thursday before a week we were invited to Barbara's birthday party in orbit. The orbit is the most popular disco in town, where most live music. There, you meet just about everyone, even we have welcomed at every corner, a familiar face. What is especially funny is how the system mt own drinks bekom . It is only revealed in a queue to order and pay for the things that would have, and Later, we go to the bar and the bartender gives the Bon. I'm not sure if this is really more effective than ours. The bars are always empty but this really, but as long as nobody is quite consider at the beginning of what is distributed throughout the evening so want to drink, you have to do the same in the other snake. The orbit has fallen to us anyway really good, so we went there this week are the same again. The sister of Italo me then also presented a bartender (points to his wish ...) and then there were also some things for nothing. Perhaps it is sometimes, but not so bad to stand out ^ ^.
Last Saturday we were actually invited to Douglas' farewell party and wanted go to soccer. The night before he left us then and said that it starts at 11 noon and he still has to find who that can pick us up. Saturday morning Vani and I are so extra to go up early to buy more chocolate as a goodbye gift. 10:30 clock is he just come online in Skype to write, that he found no one to pick us up and that we look different when determined again. For football we wanted to go with him, but he then reported no longer actually. God knows why. Now he is in Germany and calls us constantly to Skype ... Well, we were really angry and Saturday was gone. In the evening we had dinner (because we had one-month) and then another near the university in a bar with all Germans. But that was somehow not as exciting so we decided not to go to Guilherme. Him we have met in marketing and he lives very close to us, is now taking quite a lot with us and brings us always tomorrow, that we no longer have to travel by bus. Let's see how long he has to feel like there. We wanted to take the last bus and go to him, but what the Brazilians are so flat, that's "too dangerous" and he picked us. With him it was really nice, who actually started the night 1:30 to make cheese fondue ... again these cultural differences hihi. When we
morning have come home, I still have skyping with Kolya and it has finally rained here in a month for the first time. It was so exciting that I actually wanted to take a picture, but when I brought the camera, it was already over. Then the power went out at once and came out of it aloud. The rain has so little in fact caused a power failure and the crash was the emergency aggregator from the house opposite, but fortunately it was already light, so I was not quite in the dark.
Sunday evening we had agreed with Guilherme going to the movies. An hour before he has had to cancel ... Stupid Brazilians. We had us on the matter v on Saturday complained to him. The evening seemed to run so well again until he called and said that he is there in 20 minutes. As well, we all still had not showered yet and Gammel in our clothes were in the cinema ... we arrived late and what happened? There were no more tickets ... oh man is this perspective must be ^ ^ a truly innate. Alternatively, we are simply driven ice cream.
The week was as far as normal. Wednesday we had no marketing and are therefore only for a lecture went to college and what happened? The course is also unusual. We were already about to excite us, but we fortunately with Guilherme and not an hour by bus pointless down, we have simply accepted Sun Thursday, we should talk about our comic lecturers from again with the Head of Department of Economia, because he speaks German. Everything he told us then was that we are the "best" students and make us really have no idea. I must say that probably means that this is by far the stupidest trade and we always just sit there and smile, but nice to know that we are there ever a test in any case. Then he left us, funnily enough still invited to the birthday of a colleague. So we stood there in the "staff room", etc. even with the dean and have eaten cake and drank Coke. I think something like that in Germany there would probably never, but then just came by and again the advantage of foreigners.
Friday we have actually done nothing, except that we were eating dinner. We were at the sushi all you can eat with Fabio. Oh man that was really tasty. I think I've eaten 30 pieces of sushi and noodles, and dessert and yummy, yummy, yummy! :-)
Saturday morning as the bell rang for the first time with us at the door. Vanessa went to the intercom and somehow has not understood as it is for me. Na prima, 9:30 am, I've just crawled out of bed, who is this supposed to be please!? It was Augusto, Lucas roommate. He was in the area and just wanted to say hello. I thought that was really nice ...
Later that Saturday, we were finally released and really in soccer: First league, Ceará against Grêmio Prudente with Guilherme and his brother. It was great to finally be back in the stadium, but the visit there are really only negative findings. There are no parking spaces (more fields), there is no announcer, there are no screens (thus not a time), there are no barriers between the blocks and there is no pretzels! Hihi! The seats are mostly broken and which are still whole, are very dirty. So until the World Cup, there are really do a lot. From the Brazilian football magic was during the game somehow is not much to see, the stadium was half empty, but the atmosphere was really great in phases. What is it not also include women's toilets, I at least always men-only signs seen. But what they have is a kind of golf car, which always goes to the field and collect the wounded and what feels like 20 times has been applied. Real funny.
were then eat something and then we were only Vani and I am with the guys in a bar beach.
Yesterday, we then tried again with cinema. Or until we thought again that it will not matter, because Guilherme did not appear, but then 7 came at last the call. He said that the film starts at 9 am and he picks us 8:15. When he picked us up, he noticed at once that the film already starts 8:30 ... without comment. We went to another cinema and get have tickets to the first row ... "The Origin" A really good movie, and what is great here in the cinema, the films are in English with Portuguese subtitles. Unfortunately, we were sitting too far forward to be able to read the subtitles ^ ^.
So much from me first ... so warm greetings to cold Germany!

Star War Pinewood Derby

Conclusion - A month Brazil

So, the first month is over and it's time for a summary of the first impressions and observations.
the moment I still feel like on permanent holiday, and if the rest of the months pass so quickly, I'm almost back at the airport tomorrow in Leipzig, hihi. Seriously, the first month was marked by some ups and downs - from the whole organization stress at the beginning of the "big" boredom before the university began and now of days, which is far too short and actually 36 and more hours would have to - but I believe so everything has leveled off quite well. Now it only has the Portuguese are better and everything is perfect. Of course, it would be perfect if a few important people here would be but with Vani and Cathleeni can also withstand quite well.
:-) I will now simply confused and without context, a few things to write to me are so struck on land and people. Starting with the great adventure bus ride. So you are looking for is a bus stop, which is sometimes just like a small, easy overseeable tags and then wait. is maintained because there is simply no bus map, as we are him of home, there. So the whole time staring in the direction from which the bus then would come some day. Deal with other matters, such as read, would be extremely devastating, because then the bus will most likely past the bus stop. It is held that is only if someone wants to get off or when his arm stretched out in the air and wags. Then you will not jump to the front and back but should immediately hold properly, because there is no consideration of the consequences and when the last foot in the bus, it starts, regardless of whether the door is still open or not. Then you pay the cashier's R $ 1.80 and must pass the turnstile. Now one must not only hand over hand to fit and you have survived the first part, but it is nevertheless highly recommended to hold me at every turn, because even when cornering is not the way here from the gas. The race through the streets as it really is about life and death. Witty is only a sign that hangs above the driver "Seu filho também anda na rua" (your child plays on the road), that may not seem much to their children. If you know where and when to get you want you should make themselves ready as early as possible, ie, hand over hand back from bar to bar toward the door. There are red buttons to hold it quite rare, usually just hangs a rope from the ceiling, then the same can only reach the big ones. Stops will be approached at top speed, the doors have opened during the drive and then quickly jump off ... a very stressful process.
In other areas of life, where it might be appropriate to be fast, but Brazilians are rather slow, for example, cash in supermarkets. This is not really comparable with Germany, which are sooo slow. In Germany, it totally put under pressure when you're not quick enough packed up his things and here you take the time in the world, it is now being expected to pay any more if you hurry.
The Brazilians are not really on time is nothing new, but even in the university, there are "time window". Generally, a lecture is always 2 clock hours, as is the delay, however einberechnet already. So it can happen that a teacher then just times comes an hour later, but then is the way it is. Is goofy a little bit, because you are then already tired before the lesson starts at all. A total
nasty habit of Brazilians is that they almost never clean their nose, but always pull up with the most disgusting noises. And if someone does find you all the time, then this can sometimes be uncomfortable. It is considered impolite at the table to pull up your nose clean, is better ... well if they think.
Here it is also normal for children to stay so long with their parents until they marry. For us some kind of almost unbelievable phenomenon. However, the result is that Brazilians get married early. An evening course in my total number of sitting with the ring Finger (either left or right) because you feel almost like an outsider when neither the one nor the other hand has not. Generally speaking Brazilians also quite open about their relationships, for example, there are of my evening course is an online learning platform and there may be (actually is, but I find stupid) man to create a profile and write things about yourself. Because you then can actually things like "the wedding is planned," or "I love spending time with my wife ...." This would occur at home but no one at Aulis (our learning platform) to write something like that, but okay. It is also common that if you have a partner, but still lives at home, we stayed at the party or the other way. If you then want to come closer you drive to the motel. And I did not I just thought, this is really so, because yesterday have 2 of those we have met here made. So this makes the saying "Take a room" even make sense. And because Brazilian general in each state, regardless of whether driving with 0 or 3 per mill car, it'll be no problem even to go to a party at a motel. Very extreme this whole matter, I think.
And what property we have discovered this week: Brazilian people are paranoid. We are in the evening walked home from the market and before us a woman is running, then Cathleen "Cuidado" (respect) and whispered to the street has changed, because there are standing around a perhaps somewhat suspicious type. Or as Cathleeni and I had dinner with Douglas and Thiago even ice, as it was then already dark and we're still a bit on the Beira Mar strolled around. Cathleeni and I really wanted to go back to the house because it really was not very far, instead, the boys insisted on a further 10 minutes to drive through the city, wasting fuel and to bring us home. I have to clear my watch, but I think sometimes they exaggerate what it terms a bit.
And the last thing I have noticed, is the Brazilians generally do everything in the group and love this sense of community. Be it beach trips and restaurant visits, it can never be enough people here. Which of course is quite nice too, but if I'm considering it right is that in Germany, just not as extremely common. As you meet more time together and otherwise only in the evening with several activities.
Ok, before it is too much again, I hear now. Let's see what surprises the next few months ready yet!

Dockville Festival 2010

limited This year the festival season for me on a weekend in mid-August at which this took place in Hamburg, the Dockville Festival. This is an incredibly likeable Dockville Festival. When the lineup was omitted although as usual the really big numbers, but the program could be proud again this year. Traditionally been mainly indie and electro bands booked (and some well-known DJs for the night, in my view, but this is more interesting), plus there is established a couple of old warhorses and a few large Mass-known bands as an audience magnet. This year were the Heroin with the first concert after the baby and album recording pause and Jan Delay Hamburg as an obligatory act.

Dockville The Festival offers more than just music. The site is located on the Elbe island Veddel unique, there are fallow land between the old port and industrial buildings, the Festival offers a unique setting. These are the organizers of the festival sought to an art program, offering a free holiday program for children Wilhelm Burger and provide for very affordable prices, especially for those who, like me buy their tickets months in advance. After Some problems with the sale of beer and lack of space in front of the main stage last year was beat to the organization in 2010 because there will no queues, drinking places, plenty of space, but very short distances from one another stage. Also very courteous security staff and many friendly little things: still no banner ads on the stages, distribution of plastic cups for bottling of beverages at the entrance, generous distribution of garbage bags as rain protection during thunderstorms last evening.

Almost the best thing Dockville Festival is the fact that you can enjoy the festival atmosphere and yet every night in his home can own bed. One advantage of the visitors attracted to me in Hamburg, which took my shelter you and at the same time a welcome accompaniment for the festival were. We spent three exhausting but unforgettable days of wonderful music. There

reports on the three days of the festival in terms of music, it soon here. Until then, may already be enjoying the photos .

So this and this ..

And again has passed an eternity. So actually yes only a week, but this one weeks full of experiences. I think I have to now for the length of the entry at all which excuse to read the always stop halfway. I try to keep it short, but worth it to stay too so. :-)
aaalso, it's go.

Last Tuesday evening we were again at a Rodizio (all you can eat). We had actually planned to go with Italian girls (below) to a Pizza Rodizio, but plans will make a stop here, we know very little sense. In the end we were at an all-possible-Rodizio and 7 others still. Once again it was totally delicious, and in this system is still a little stressed. Every 2 minutes is a waiter with some treats and will sell them to you. I am of course always such that I want to miss anything, so I usually say yes and the plate is already full, but, you really do not miss even the next, so eat fast. Pizza was sweetness it again ... absolutely a dream! One Thiago (of which I've already written at some point) was also back with it and has brought his friend Douglas and his friends with him and then somehow we have spent the whole next day. For example, Wednesday ...

Wednesday "Dia do Estudante" was (Student's Day) and time again. Douglas and Thiago have overtaken us and we are still together Cumbuco (about 40km from here) down. There were Italian and the other last weekend, so we wanted to of course go there. Cumbuco is known for its endless sand dunes and we wanted to see. We have then and Peter Strauss (friend of Douglas and Thiago, he is really called) picked up and drove to the beach. As it was, as always in a beach bar and we drank a little. Vani and I are then a little long walks on the beach, while the others were in the water and then suddenly wanted to leave the Brazilians. We Germans are not so completely understood, because we have not seen the dunes, but Strauss has to go there very close to a beach house and as the boys wanted it. Well ... The house was really huge and, most importantly, with pool. In the beginning, once again no one knew really what right now is the plan (-> Brazilians are sooo bad to make the announcements), but after the others wanted to get food and then came back with beer, we also have gepeilt that we are probably the spend rest of day in the pool.

Thursday was then University and Douglas asked whether we want to go eat dinner with him and a friend of cancer, very close to the university. I had night classes, so by itself has offered very good, but feel like I had somehow not yet have and it actually canceled, but then he was somehow one with French Hélène front of the university and picked me up. Well, whatever. In the end, as many total return, because he wanted to with a (!) Eat friend. I do not know if there are just so many communication problems, or whether the Brazilian way is easy. Now I'm definitely a richer experience: eating cancer! "First you had to arrange the legs, then banging on it, auszutschen, then eventually (after one for ages) you can eat the head. There's something broken off, scrape here "shit" and then auszutschen there again, perhaps banging on it once before and at the very end, when you have mastered all the tasks you can put some kind of sauce in the head and complete the drink ... "Estimated time: 2 hours! So that was really tasty, but a huge mess and Popelei. After that, I thought we're going home, but no, no, it was the right food, ie rice, meat and so on. Always good for a surprise the Brazilians. And drink all the time on beer. Should I tell of a time that we drink a lot of German beer. I would venture to say that Brazilians drink more! Well, sometime around 1 I was at home and then a lovely evening past.

Friday we all know also free and because our apartment had to be cleaned must say we have gone to the beach and have the cleaning lady once left free rein. On the beach we have not only endured it, unfortunately, a long time because it was so windy again, so get home, money, and eat from Mc Donald's ice cream. Evening was "planned" to go to a UNIFEM. We all three really really happy and when we arrived, the others (Italo, Peter, Hélène, Barbara ...) were already there and already said that nothing is going on. It was only a total small event with a little live music, but there was not even drink. So we've got beer in the supermarket and just walked back, unfortunately we could not even like to drink ... well, dirty tricks in general. We have then a new Brazilian candy "Churro" tried. This is a kind of fried dough with filling (chocolate or something sweet milk), very tasty and also affordable for approximately 40ct. Then it went to a bar near the university and what there were? That's right, beer! I can not see it anymore ... The others are then taken further, but it was already 10:30 and you should not really go by bus so late, we prefer to adopt. Have also stated that it is about time, at least in the area really does not seem so dangerous.

Saturday we met up to a great tour of the city in the center. Getting there was very adventurous. First, our bus was not forever, then ka m it but at some point and we have asked whether he thinks there where we wanted to go - of course not - so jump back and wait for the next. Actually we were a good half hour late, but fortunately this all so, so everything perfectly. Barbara gave us (Peter, Hélène, two other German and us) rumgeführt then a little bit. She is studying history and really did much that was really good. So we have started at the "Praça do Ferreira," the central market square. From there it went through several small streets full of shops and street stalls for the "Theatro José de Alencar, a very nice little theater, where I must sometimes still be out, but it's worth it until I understand a bit more here. Front of the theater then the "Praça José de Alencar" was. Actually, a small park, but also full of people who wanted to somehow get rid of their rubbish last. We are then in a rather large bunch of people came by and were curious of course ... there is a man opened coconuts with his hand. But then we were standing was for the audience at least as exciting as the man ... Catherine and Peter were even welcomed him with a handshake. Then we have the old train station "João Felipe" took a break and "Pó de Guaraná" tried. What exactly is, however, I can not say exactly (perhaps Esther yes another explanation). The pack because some powder and nuts and ice in the blender and the result is simply delicious. After lunch we drove to the "Passeio Publico, a pocket park, is the Cathedral (photo), which I think just the" cathedral "and the" Mercado Central ", a large need, and multi-story covered market. The sunset, we then looked at the web, where I was already with Vani, but unfortunately was the light is not that nice. The day we let the "Dragão do Mar", the bar district finish. The others have pulled back even further, but near the university and as for us would have been a meaningless detour, we have allowed ourselves to bring home. Spontaneously has then called Douglas and he, his girlfriend, Emanuel, Strauss and Klaus are then still come with cachaça with us over and we are merely held together in Klaus' birthday. A very funny spontaneous action.

Sunday was Klaus' party at the beach house Strauss. We were picked up by 10 and were about as against 12. Overall, there as about 25 people, again a funny Clusters. We actually wanted to buy a cake and bring, but we learned better, that probably does not make it here, all right. There was caipirinhas, sausages and meat as a greeting, then a small pool break and then I would actually play with Vani Fussell, but we are of course not been alone for so long. In the end, we were 14th and Germany were playing against Brazil with Cathleeni in the gate, my defense in the midfield and Vani in the right! Very, very funny! After the second break pool, had lunch there again and then we were just tired and we were able to, we would have gone home, but that was not. We have then ever rumgelungert, out of sheer boredom, we can even 'Forro' teaching. This is a typical music from here to you usually dance in pairs. Eventually, it was then already so far that all were gone except us. We were actually the last, and by what parade, which were presented to us not even real. Somewhere we went inflected on the ground and knew, of course, did not play what's going on (as I said with announcements have it not so): Auto change on standing, then we left and have stopped behind the gate again, there is a boarded ... Well, in the end we were at home at 10 and did have a great Sunday.

Monday night I was on with Vani, once again on the market, we round the corner, beach. Tuesday night I had Uni. And yesterday was Cathy and I (Vani had university) with Douglas and Thiago again at the "Mercado Central". Douglas wanted to buy some souvenirs, as the two next week so fly casting and study there for one semester, and needed German support. This market is really madness, but there are in almost every shop the same, so how can live like this, I do not know. After that we went so went the ice cream shop chain on the beach, the name escapes me, unfortunately, now. There are 50 types of ice in any case, such as beer, caipirinha or "something", and each of them, you can try before you decide. I coconut chocolate chip and "something" was, then you can even still do so much sauce on it, as it may be ... very tasty.

This week was so then the first week, we had complete university and slowly we realize that we sometimes do what they should, but now only comes once again this weekend, and we definitely have no time ... The
Next time it will not sooo much! =)

Thenumberthatdosonyvegas6.0

from new residents and beach trips

... So here again a sign of life. What is really special in the last few days not happened, but I'll just write weird going on it. :-)
Last Thursday we had our thank-you dinner for all the love so far have helped us. We have a lot of potato salad, pasta salad, burgers and sausages made us towed away with beer and moved at the end of a very nice evening. It was all too much and we had to throw away things, but maybe. Before anything at totally funny happened. Italo Fabio and have been ever a friend - Peter from Munich - expected. Peter had to fly to South Africa but only because his flight was overbooked and he has also missed the flight, so he is more total re days was on the road. Well, as I drove on Thursday for the first time alone with the bus to Abenduni, 2 rows in front of me was so tall, blond ... I could imagine the whole time that he is, but I was not sure. Actually I wanted to address it before I get out, but then the bus is suddenly gone elsewhere long and Italo called me and it was dark and I did not get rid of that is. So I'm just quickly jumped out when I saw something familiar. On the way to college, I then made spaghetti and he said he will meet the same with Peter ... how funny ... we have it then taken on the road yet and I've also invited to participate in the same dinner. In my Italo lecture has picked me up and then we walked a bit and there have Fabio, maintained his girlfriend and Peter and we went by car to us ... what a luxury. Slowly I learn to drive really appreciate it. The evening was really nice and Fabio's girlfriend has even made Brigadeiros (typical Brazilian chocolate balls) ... sooo yummy!
the weekend we were actually mainly on the beach. On Friday, right here with us, but this Saturday at the Praia do Futuro. Reputedly the most beautiful beach in Fortaleza. So I find the beach with us already fantastic, but the Brazilians like the any reason why not, and they drive on the weekend always to the Praia do Futuro. So we made also on the way to a major bus station for us there with Italo, Peter, Barbara, and a French woman whose name I unfortunately omitted just to meet. Of course we were too early and therefore we were three German first totally lost around there and had no idea where even with us, because a beach is not really vermutbar was near. But after 10 minutes have arrived the other and we had to take another bus. Arriving at the beach it was different than I had imagined. I was expecting really wide, empty beaches, but there were mainly "barracas" - quite a lot of beach bars. So we are the best of Fortaleza "Vira Verao gone "and I had my book again for nothing, for there sits the whole time at tables and talking. So, no sun and read a book. But it was still good. The waves were so huge that my All the time the bikini pants was torn down ... After a Agua de Coco, there were already eating. We have ordered several Pasteis. Pasteis have something similar like pastries filled with meat, for example, cheese or shrimp. And as a final or a delicious Caipirinha round for all. I had not realized it, but also with food and drink can a day at the beach go by very quickly!
Sunday were Vani and I went back with us on the beach, but unfortunately it was not bearable. I went into the water and when I wanted to lie down on my towel, that was completely covered with sand ... Hello Wind! A quarter of an hour we might have held out, but then that was it. So we went home, showered and have thought about making a beach walk. We have for once dared to explore unknown territory and it was worth. We are sure to come by conflicting areas, but we have finally found the "Ponte dos Ingleses." A web, which just goes a little into the sea and from where you can watch be excellent sunsets. But we were then but still a little too funny. There were really only Brazilians and we were staring all the time back only. So we are back after a short Eispause gone back and have watched the sunset with us in the safe area, which was also very nice.
Today was then once again our marketing and university lecturer has given us "a few" data ... she has already told us that the course fails 9 times. I will complain no idea but I thought I would study for here ... :-)
Achso and then I had almost forgotten our new roommate, the Pauls to mention. Sometime last week we had a strange beetle in the bathroom, who has been hiding ever again. We have then seen that are on the door frame holes and thereby he always cuts off, so we have temporarily closed down with paper and tape. A few days later, exactly the same stupid beetle was sitting on our doorstep and I almost dramatic uf entered. He was luckily on the back, so we quickly it (see photo) were collected. After looking closer, we had to unfortunately look the truth in the face and find that it was a cockroach. The next night had a small Cathleen in her room, we could begin quickly and happily as I stuff from wanted to get the cabinet sat a stupid animal and Vani in my room. Typical woman, we first tried it with hair spray to get, but that unfortunately did not work out. Paul has taken refuge behind the closet. I did not care, I've been comfortable in front of me and waited until he came out, half an hour it took its time, but then we had him. When I was threatened the next day in the shower, circuit was funny. We bought poison and after we've never seen a cockroach, it was just friendly and no hysterical cry of "Hello Paul" welcomes the poison on it and that's it. Now I've had no longer welcome Paul, may we hope time that will continue.

Promo Kates Playground Cookin

semester begins ... Or? Finally

On Monday morning at 8 so it supposedly started, the 5th Semester. Perhaps first of all something about the times. I have lessons every day from 8-12 and Tuesday and Thursday from extra from 18:30-20. Friday is free, so all the best.
Monday morning, picked us up at 7 so Fabio and we went to the university. Although we live close to the beach, but it just far away from the university, so you should plan just one hour travel time ... and then we needed fast. In college, we made spaghetti, again a nice, helpful Brazilian, who arrived a week ago, only back from Munich. He then gave us demonstrated to our campus and accompanied us to the first lectures. The campus is quite small for economy, but that's good, the sooner we find their way around us. The main building has such an inner courtyard with benches and palm trees, very similar to a school yard, and then go directly from there, the individual lecture rooms that are similar and more American classrooms from. Beside the door is always a plan which courses are currently taking place in the room. Such a thing would be at the university is sometimes very helpful. The doors have small windows where you can then look again, whether one is actually correct. The rooms are very small, the buildings (that's not exactly easy to understand) and air conditioning, perceived to have 10 degrees is set. So when I unpacked my bag, I thought that everything is meaningless, which is longer than T-shirt, but since I had to actually have to pull something.
Monday we had then that is up 8 marketing (of course, all lectures in Portuguese) and were there on time, but no trace of the teacher. Which is somehow 15 minutes later, happily danced into the room. She and the course briefly and then we had to imagine all of us. Clear that the 3 German Meninas (girls) of course were the focus. After about half an hour it was then already with marketing and we have been "dismissed". We then talk briefly with the teacher and hope now that they are somehow at the end can pass the exam.  Then we had forever until the next lecture and we have placed on the benches in the courtyard. There came then the same a few girls from marketing and have literally "fed writes the lyrics," We have in fact once again did not know much except that we are welcome ... If you happen to be in this yard makes you feel really like at the zoo (quote from Vani ). All who really look all and you feel under constant observation. I hope to soon get used to us or we to the Centre. This can be really annoying.
Italo then has taken yet Thiago. Thiago flies the end of August to Germany to study there and then we actually also accompanies the rest of the day. The next lecture was then roughly translated as "culture and change in companies," there came about half an hour waiting for no one ... okay, then we have probably not a lecture. It was then still quite early, but we're still all went to eat plus Fabio. We have a large meat platter and a lot of side dishes and get paid at the end per person with drink about 4 €. It was really good and even the end of day one of the UFC.
On Tuesday morning we met again at 7 with Fabio, but the Plays around with it to take the bus. That was quite an adventure simply claimed, but clearly a post for himself at the university has again spaghetti waiting for us and for our first lecture, "Management of products and markets," accompanied. Here again we have to wait for the teacher. When he finally arrived he has only just sat down to tell us that we have no classes and Thursday and do not see us next week ... also great. For this we are so up so early. Well, we have used the free time to again go to the International Office and pick up a form. There has, however, again took forever because Cathleeni still wanted to change a course and found it even not so great there. Right after that we could actually rise up to the next lecture "Current brasil. Economy ". We have only the space not found, found out to Italo, is that it is in another building around the corner. When we arrived there it was obviously too late and we are specially noticed. The teacher has, however, very happy and in a short time in which he tells us something about the course, approximately 20 times said "minhas meninas da Alemanha" (my girl from Germany). In the beginning it was still okay, but eventually it was just too much. I do not need to be treated,'s enough that we look different and I would at the Place of the Brazilians would annoy me probably is. After class, then again he has spoken to us and somehow he's really a bit crazy. In his field, we have to read a book "O ultimo trem para Paris" - The last train to Paris. No idea what that has to do with the current economy, as the book of 1986, but is okay. He said we should not worry about the exams, but hold a presentation in November of Bismarck. He seems to find totally great, and if he wants it that way, then we do of course. And then he sent us to his boss in which we imagine should necessarily because of his Masters degree in Germany added. But first we have complete copies of this book and a passport to us (which is just a PIN) will be removed for the library. Which is at least us real mini and not comparable to those at home. Then we have, however, but once introduced at the boss and he gave us the same funneled into his office and engaged in conversation. Real bad, what a state you here, just because one is from Germany ... gossip to the boss in the office, has actually been missing only the coffee.
was then also already time for lunch and I wanted to look into the cafeteria, which should not be so great, but I did not care. There are 2 food and a vegetarian option. At the entrance to Buy (approx.48 ct) to RS for 1.10 a trademark, ie it does not even clean if you want to eat anything, and then you have to go with his food 1 or 2 by a long corridor and the Wash hands. Then you take a tray plate, which in itself is a tablet, but directly to the food is packed. There was salad, rice with beans and fish. rice and beans should there be comfortable there every day, but overall I found it not bad. Perhaps my expectations by all the warnings were just very low. But was about 50 cents for the great and gave it some juice and even at that. So every day I'm certainly not keen on rice and beans, but that's really an inexpensive way to . Feed
We are still left with the two guys in the shopping center because Vani and my phone is not somehow working. The guys we have again sent out to own a little rumzuschauen. Vani is relatively quickly drove home and Cathleeni and I have eaten ice cream and rumgegammelt because we have waited for 6 hours to our next lecture. Those were the longest six hours long and I had the feeling that the time did not pass away. I started to read this book, but without a dictionary that has somehow not made much sense. Then we went back to college and have since put on a hidden bench. Cathleeni has the same time as an hour  slept ... At some point we have still got something to eat and Italo hit again and then it was already time for Human Resource Mgmt second The exception has even had to start on time and there were really many students. Italo knew one of them and who also speaks English, so we were lucky to have another caregiver. The teachers we were fortunately not so special, he greets us and that's only normal. Because we will write again ... juhuuu 2 written exams. After class we also talked to him again and he has somehow also says that he has only come back from Berlin and really want to learn German. It's real Crazy how many people here still have a reference to Germany. But I believe that the subject is really a challenge. Cathleen has chosen not to do that, so I'm going there alone ... by biting a look.
about half past 9 were at home and then we have completed the 13 hour day, more or less successful. All in all, the university has not yet really begun, because today is free again ...
