31st January

Hey guys, 
Im sorry I havent been posting alot but I didnt really have anything to post in my blogg as I have been mostly chlling out and not sightseeing. 
Probably the highlight of my last 4 days was going out to a bar with a guy I randomly met at the pool that had travelled to Australia for 8 months in 2005 and lived at Bondi Beach for 6 of the 8 months.
I will be moving to my town in the next few days, so that is something to look forward too :) as i will meet new people and see a different town and get to unpack my bag and settle down in a home. 
Oh and im super jealous of your Australia Day celebrations ... it just isnt the same in a different country, but i wore my I love aus singlet with pride that day :D
Not much else to say !!!!

3rd & 4th day in Sao Paulo city .....

heyyyyy hope everyone is well,
My third day(22nd Jan) in Brazil i went to a soccer match and it was Sao Paulo vs Ponte Preta it was soooo great they are sooo crazy all the fans. But sadly the team that everyone was going for lost so everyone was so devastated. BEfore the game we also went to Sao Paulos largest and most expensive mall. The malls here are verryyy different, but are very pretty. It is funny seeing all of the Brazilains walking around some carrying dogs. Then after the game i went and met my first host parents Lucia and Ronaldo before they went on there cruise. They are suchh lovely people, but the no english is a bit of a worry as i can hardly speak portuguese. So i guess my translation books will come in handy and sign language :D

Football match - Largest staduim in Sao Paulo

Botanical Gardens - Sao Paulo

My forth day (23rd Jan) I woke up the earliest i have in brazil (11am) and went for a run in the equivalent of new yorks central park. It was soooooo busy, and i nearly got ran over by so many bikes, skateboarders, joggers and rollerskators. Sadly though i got the worst stitch and i couldn't run all of my already exchange student kilos off. 


Also tonight i watched the new movie called "Black Swan", wowowow it is weird and i recommend everyone to watch it. Especially if you liked movies such as Inception or Shutter Island and can put up with a little bit of ballet.

first 2 days in brazil

21 - 22nd January - Sao Paulo City


Arriving in Brasil was sooo amazing, looking over Sao Paulo city. It was like a giant christmas tree lit up for k's and k's. Our arrival crew was pretty crazy as well with signs and banners welcoming us to Brasil.
Sao Paulo city is very crazy and reminds me of an Asian city such as phuket, and has tonnes of bikes like Bali.
I have been to two malls that are very different to aussie malls and tonight i am going to my first football match in the largest staduim in Sao Paulo.
Tonight i am also meeting my first host family from Aracatuba (where i will live for the year) Lucia and Ronaldo.
Staying up late (3am) and waking up late is hard to get use to but i am slowly getting the hang of it.
