It’s been a month a 3 days since I’ve been in Brazil and time has really flown by. I apologize in advance if my English is also very poor. Some days I feel like I can’t speak anything. I feel like I’ve lived here for longer then just a month. I’m really getting used to the life here and how things work. Except for the whole tardiness of everyone, I don’t think I’ll ever get over that. I moved to a new place with a couple and I have my own room which is located 2 minutes from the AIESEC office. Life is quite different here. I went from an apartment in the nice area with 5 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms and 1.5 maids (one of them only comes 2 times a week) and a dog and served meals to a small apartment and a couple with one bathroom and making my own food.
What started out as a normal day ended up being quite unexpected. So the couple I’m staying with left for the weekend to their home city and left me to take care of myself. No problem right? I kinda know how to cook and I’ve lived away in a dorm independently before. Well, firstly I start off the night by burning the leftover pasta my friends left me. Then I realized the internet wasn’t working and there were a million wires and I had no idea what to do with them. I was frantically trying to get on msn to contact my friend about going to see a band play because my cell phone ran out of money so I had no way of calling people. But my laptop battery was going wacko on me and in 10 mins I had only 33% of my power left and couldn’t find a plug in anywhere! Thank goodness my LCP was still at the office and saved the day by coming to fix the plugs and I was able to contact my friends at the office! I realized I really need to figure out technology and not be so dependent on people. But it was a rude awaken to make me realize I have a lot of independence to learn beyond traveling alone.
