Im so sorry I havent been blogging!
I thought my account was deleted but it just let me back on!
I have been soooo busy latley! every night going out with friends, or just been so tired and passing out right away!
On the 26th, Wednesday, my host brother Natan, 17, went on his own exchange to USA Michigan! This was very sad, especially since he was the only one in the house who could speak any english!
Although, his plane left from the airport of none other than the largest city in South America, Sao Paulo, so I got a chance to visit and stay over night in this huge city!
Sao Paulo has a population of 20 million, which makes Canada's ENTIRE population of 32 million seem a little small! It was definitely a city though, the polution and the smell doesnt change no matter what country you're in!
It was very sad to say good bye to my host brother, especially since it reminded me of when I had to say goodbye to my own family 3 weeks ago back in Canada.
I didnt get to see much of the city, only what we saw when we drove around, seeing as we were at the air port all day and its a five hour drive back home. But, what I could see from the windows was definitely amazing.
Ive been really happy latley. Last weekend was the birthday of my city, Sacramento, so it was a holiday and I didnt have to go to school the Monday OR the Tuesday!
There was a big party for 4 nights in a row, with popular Brazillian artists performing. I went on the Monday night and it was very fun! Met lots of new people!
Things just keep on getting better and better here, and I love it so much, I've already been here for 3 weeks!
Definitely doesn't feel that long. Next Friday it will be a month!
I was supposed to have Rotary orientation this weekend, but unfortunatly it was cancelled due to all the exchhange students not being in Brasil yet. So it has been changed to next weekend instead. I am very excited to meet all the exchange students. I know from how much I loved them in Canada that I will love everyone here too! They are great to have as friends because they are going through exactly what I am going through so they can definitely understand.
Portuguese is definitely getting easier to understand! I can't speak much, but I can now pick out words when I hear people talking!
tchau ameigos! mutio amor <3
