Unlock The Secret Character Spongebob Monopoly

internship with Ada Tours - Daily Life in Rio

... sad but true, so slowly he brings me here.

From the weekend, there are now not so much to report so I'll just use a bit of time to write about my internship. I do know, at Ada Tours, a travel company. Tourism was not really my target area, but now I just plug in there. :) The office is located at the Copacabana and of Anna, a Russian woman out. Then there's work Diana (Armenia), Jessica, Natalia (Brazil), Markus (Germany) and Daniel (Spain). The main business is in itself is to receive any requests from customers for travel to Latin America, and to edit the. My role has translated into the first weeks of travel programs and very bored limited. Meanwhile I am still for another intern ("under me"), Lorena (Netherlands), responsible for general and complete internship applications up to the job interview, what's really funny. Most are simply a lot more experienced than I am. Degree today was another one there who already has a master's degree and a lot older than me ... So the question page of an interview is sometimes interesting to know and a lot more pleasant. Otherwise I have just appointments with potential customers at the ITB, the largest tourism fair in Berlin, make up. The beginning of March and my boss is flying out there, I hope so still a tiny bit of that perhaps because I can if I give all the organization much trouble, but since so is a small sweatshop company, I think because almost no more to it. Exploiters company because the permanent employees earn $ 1000 R / month, in comparison, I pay rent $ 550 R for my 4-room, and because Anna always want to have as many interns and generally get nothing. I have told them after 2 weeks that I get a payment but because she is so happy, but Jenny got into her three months there at all. By paying now I am in their eyes, but also no longer an intern. I'm not sure if I that good or bad find ...

Where we were just at room rent. Have I ever mentioned something about my current home? So I live with Adele (Pepita and her dog) and she rented a room in her great house. In the beginning I I shared a room with Helen and Ceres. Helen from now and Liliana from Mexico has been collected. With Ceres, her boyfriend and another friend, I was on Friday evening drink a few beers in Botafogo. This was very spontaneous, but then also really funny. Saturday ego got to me first on the sofa and cozy made on ESPN Brasil Cologne - Bayern looked to see what has brought me great joy initially also, but oh well ... After that I was still walk with Jenny on the beach. Only here in Copa and Ipanema we have felt the sunset with 1000 other people looked at, have eaten and have gone tapioca drink cocktails. There were other German at the next table, which was kind of totally unfamiliar, where no one else understands us but ... Sunday afternoon I was with Anna Belle and Jenny in São Cristóvão. There is the Feira Nordestina, a kind of gigantic market of typical things from the northeast. This really was like entering another world: at each corner was music played, people drank and danced and it was just infected by the whole of life. Although there also not my favorite drink were from Fortaleza, it was a fun trip for Sunday.

Now we are in Internship Week number 4 and count (officially) almost only 16 ... :)

Beijão!

PS There are many new photos in the slideshow!

Canoes For Sale Minnesota

Petrópolis Cidade Maravilhosa

Huhu dear ones!

Here again a small sign of life, together with the last impressions of the beautiful Rio.
I noticed that I have not even written the last time how much I think Rio yet. The City provides just the right mix of everything. There are mountains, Lakes, beach and sea, greenery and sooo many recreational and cultural activities. I can walk to work and also so you can reach on foot a lot. And yet this is when you behave inconspicuously not absolutely dangerous. Just the perfect city! :-)
Last weekend I spent completely alone and that was kind of nice sometimes. Saturday morning I got my bread and eggs retrieved and made me a good breakfast corresponding to the circumstances. Against the early afternoon I drove to the historic and Nationalmueseum've spent there 3 hours. Since I was not even alone, the nice man audio guide me talk very well and me very much about the Brazilian Story. After that I wanted a little more in the area running around, but since then has held a bus next to me and is driven to the Copacabana, I'm just mitgefahren. It was not relaxing, because the bus driver wanted to talk all the time with me, but at least I was able to travel for free ... Up to the Rio Sul Shopping Center, where I somehow wanted to go all the time before, but that alone was somehow not as exciting and it was almost dark, so I went home. Sunday was much more relaxed. To 1, I went to the beach in the sun, but it was way too hot, so I am in a bar and a set Agua de Coco drunk and Newsweek from my flatmate read ... probably saw the damn European. No Brazilian would ever get the idea to sit in a bar and read, much less the whole thing to do alone. I am still a bit long run on the beach and I've still put under a palm tree and read further. Then I was eating sushi at the supermarket and drink afterwards still on the way home some juice.
Yes, and this weekend I was traveling for almost only in the company. I did on Wednesday night Jenny, my predecessor of internship, met and we got along great right away and immediately planned our first trip together. On Saturday morning it was "Off to Petrópolis". Petrópolis is a totally cute Place in the mountains, about 80km away from Rio and former summer residence of the imperial family We have therefore taken the morning and are moved together to Rodoviaria (bus station). Since I was still überbewältigt something, because the airport had almost character. In Fortaleza, there were also a Rodoviaria, but it was small, manageable and as a German bus terminal. In Rio, there are also shops, a food court and a right at the airport arrivals area as ... Since I was almost a bit strange. :) After we bought our tickets, we had about 20 minutes until departure 11:30. So we strolled a bit and have even indulged in an ice cream and sat there quietly, I have to at some point but once looked at the clock ... 11:27 ... RACE! Well, thanks to the Brazilian punctuality of course we have all done yet. Once in Petrópolis, we went directly first in a German cafe and we have a mega piece of cake and I indulged in a "chai" tea, unfortunately it was all different, but definitely not a Chai tea. Well after the meal we could therefore begin our tour. First stop: home of Santos Dumont, the father of aviation and the inventor of the wristwatch. Second stop: Palácio Cristal (Crystal Palace), built in France and in 1879 brought to Petro. Third Stop: Palácio da Princesa Isabel, the daughter of the imperial house. And last Stop: Museu Imperial Palace of the Emperor. Since you had at the entrance to attract the same time witty Filzlatschen, so that the great wooden floor not to break something and was issued as the spring with the law for the abolition of slavery was signed. Petrópolis is a totally cute place with an almost European character, that was all a bit home. Can also have at the café in handy at the beginning. :) Yes
and today I was with Anna Belle, who studied with me and now this placement makes the beach on the Sugar Loaf.
morning you go back to the placement of which I have written as yet, but soon then ... :) Achso the photos of the weekend, Jenny Unfortunately, But I hand it would.
I wish you all a wonderful week and send you sunny greetings!

Healing From A Cervical Biopsy

resolution

Yes, your ideas were all genial.Hm, a disco I would have preferred, but it was nothing of everything. :-)

It was a copper tube ............................ eaten away, then saw a couple of days when I unknowingly stepped into the laundry room heating and splashed water on my counter.



first I thought it was a defect in the washing machine until I saw that it came from the heater. As had already accumulated quite a bit of water on the floor, it had been several hours? have dripped. A nice Heating engineer explained to me that the acidic water heater was to blame. Aha. Terms such as overflow, overflow valve and polyethylene pipe me now say something. Yes, and because it was so pretty, I first had to remove everything (who has been in his heat only boiler room?), Wipe up the water and if possible all hang out to dry.
Another positive Side effect, everything is now spotless, of useless stuff I have summarily disconnected, and we now have a flagship heating laundry. As long as it takes.

:-) Greetings
