I got a friend request this morning from someone I had met in Montreal about two years ago - I accepted obviously - and then I looked at this person's profile to find out that she was from Floripa - exactly where I am right now (it was totally random) so I sent her a message to tell her - and about an hour later she was there to pick me up and we went to a small city - where I had already been when it was actually raining (!!!) to eat seafood! It's great to be living in such a small world! And it's even greater when there is absolutely no expectations between two people and when you realise that it is as if you had known each other for a long time! I really like the not planned plans!

An other great and true story:
Yesterday I went to the beach and it rained... The end.
(Look at the pictures if it is not exciting enough...)

I might leave Floripa tomorrow for BC (the brasilian BC) and I will probably be leaving in a tent... So even if I guess I could, I don't think I will use Internet everyday... I already hear some of you begging me to continue writing as often as possible - I will try to, don't worry!

If I still have some of your attention in this moment full of emotions - and if you're interested of course, you should go read this: http://blog.invisiblechildren.com/?p=5815
If you know some of the things that I've been doing in the last year, you know that I tried to help the movement called The Invisible Children to reach their objective which is to free the child soldiers who were abducted by the LRA in Central Africa and to help the children who suffered because of this army... The link is about a MAJOR NEWS!

About the pictures, the tree that you see is huge just in case you didn't pay attention to the size of the people... It is probably something like 40 meters wide!

Before leaving, there is one question (that I don't have an answer to) that I have in mind... Don't answer if it is not relevant to you... Why is it normal in Brasil to wear a shirt or sandals or a swim suit or any piece of clothe with the brasilian flag and/or the word Brasil and it is not normal in Quebec - except on our national holiday?
BOA NOITE ;)
Bon.. tu veux des commentaires mon Oli... alors je me "lâche lousse"... Ton blogue me ravit. J'adore ton style d'écriture nonchalant... qui finalement correspond à ton style nonchalant. point. J'aimerais te dire que tu nous sors de la torpeur de l'hiver, mais il fait super beau (scuse, en bonne québécoise faut que je parle de météo un peu) alors tant pis. Tu nous dépayse et nous ravit. Ravit. Ouais,c'est vraiment le bon mot.
ReplyDeleteVas-tu ajouter mon nom à ta liste ? Je te jure que je j'ai tout lu sauf le message en portugais !
1)Hier, mon frère a demmandé si tu vas bien.. Tu es cool, Oli! =)
ReplyDelete2)BC = Balneário Camboriú ?
3)Tes photos sont PERFAS! (Secret: j'ai mis mon ordi upside down pour comprendre "themagicofphotoshop.jpg".
4)Tes histoires-le-monde-est-petit me donnent bcp d'espoir!
Beijo!
Hi there! I am glad my name is on the list because I trully follow and enjoy very much about everything you wrote!
ReplyDeleteWell the house @ the beach still waiting for you, anytime!
Regarding the flag thing... I dont even know uf you actually wants any answer! But here is what I think!
We are really proud of being brazilians although we just complain about everything in Brazil, but that doesnt explain why quebecoises dont wear their flag... Because you guys are also really proud of yourselves!
Are you going to stay in Brazil until the world cup?
Take care... Beatriz
Oli!!!!
ReplyDeleteJe suis très contente de voir mon nom dans ta list....
C'est vrai que j'ai tout lis!!! Et comme Caroline j'aime ton style d'écriture...
Ma mère me demande qu'est que je lis si longtemps.
J'aimeirais encore plus si tu avoir la chance de connaître la ville où j'habite...
Mais, quand même je suis très heurese que tu profite bien la chance de connaître mon pays!!!!
bye bye

ReplyDeleteAre you going to live in a tent? like a camping in the beach? my god!
ReplyDeleteyes, I'm reading now all your entries. I didn"t have time before, sorry.
I really like to read this!
And talking about proud... I really don't know! I think that you care more of your hockey teams than your nationality.
When I was in Canada I saw it. You always wear the t-shirts of Canadiens, and you have their flags and the sticker on the car. But you don't care so much about the Canada's flag.
Now, you have to explain to me...why?
