First day! - Afternoon desk-workout session!!!

I just came home after my first day on Camfil Power Systems AB i Borås. The day began with sayning hello to 50 different people... 50 different faces = 50 different names = DIFFICULT!

Then, I got my own desk which you can adjust up and down, so you can stand up and work if you want to!! That is just great!! I have my own phone and computer. Additionally they give medical examination, fitness contributions and terminal glasses (for those who may need). There is also free fruits on mondays and wednesdays!!! I think this is just great!!! I know that this is common on companies in Sweden but I have never worked on a company like this before, so I'm so happy!!!!

Also, I don't need to work my ass off to get paid every month. I mean of course I'm going to do my best, but I don't need to work on bank holidays (röda dagar - In Swedish). Not only that, I don't need to work the day before a bank holiday. For example, I don't need to work on the Swedish midsummer (which is not a bank holiday but anyway...) and then I don't need to work the day before midsummer either!!!! Wow, it couldn't be better :D

Today I also learnt som routins in the Design office. Every day, somewhere around 3 o'clock, one of my colleagues has a work-out session for about 5 minutes. I thought they were joking, but no, almost everyone did this and it was actually very nice!!! So REFRESHING and it is ood for your body also!!!

Woke up at 15.20

I woke up from my beauty sleep at 15.20 today, but my alarams at my clock went off at 7... I were supposed to work but my body took out its rights and choose to sleep instead. NOT GOOD!

So at 19 I'm going to see Caroline so now I will study som Portuguese...

See you later!

Duracell-rabbit

Busy, busy, busy!! This week has been extremly busy!! I'm working every day for as long as my brain still can think!! But it is just this week... Next week I will start my new job! Great!!

I have been a little bit too busy this week, but I'm managing just fine... I talk to myself a lot, but I don't sleep walk as I used to do before when I was extremly busy. I think of myself like a duracell-rabbit, there is still battery left and I can recharge it in the same way as the battery in the car charges, by drive...

A few things that recharge me is:

1. THE GYM - my hour for myself
2. Listening to music and sing along really loud (even though I'm a terrible singer and I often lose my voice after that...)
3. Pepp-talk to myself "you can do this Emma"

Ida and I had a movie night at my place tonight. But it is very hard to keep watching a movie when you feel like you want to talk, besides the movies didn't seem to be very good.... But we had so much fun talking and planning for the furture! And after seen almost the hole movie "motherhood" - there will be no kids for a while for neither of us!!!

Tomorrow I'm going to work and my boss promised to cook for me (he just to be a chef before he converted to pellets....) and then I'm going to see my sweet bullmamma Caroline and her friend!!

I'm always this busy in Sweden! I would love to Bahia where you never stress... the food takes its time, don't worry, don't stress... talk slowly like in a dream because there is all time in the world for the bahianas!!

Chatroulette

Chatroulette, what the hell is that...
Now I finally know what it is!!! Sounds fun, haha!!! Check this out!

11 maj 2010

Welcome to Camfil Farr - MY job!!!

Yeahhh, Emma finally got a new job!!!

I have been on two job interviews every week in secret and know I can finally tell that I got a new job! I have the contract just in front of me and I'm ready to sign ... one moment... and now it is signed!!!

I am now officially an employee of Camfil Farr!!!! And I'm going to start on Monday the 17th of June, exactly one month before Jair comes here. It is a great job and I'm going to have fantastic colleges (I already know two of them)! I also heard some insider information that there are some people that think that it is very nice that I'm starting there! I'm so exicted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This is just great!!!! It couldn't be better actually!! I thought life was hard before I started the University, but since then I learnt that life is what you make of it and if something is against it is just there to make you fight for it because then you find the life sparcle. Some say that when you hurt yourself, at least you know that you are alive!! That's true!! And I have fought so hard to live this life that I'm living now, since last year everything just got better and better! I wanna stay like this forever, makes me think of something:
"I wanna stand with you on a mountain"
- that's what I hear every morning and I'm thinking; "we are almost there honey!"
"I wanna bathe with you in the sea"
- I alredy than that, but I wanna do it again!

Truly madly deeply

I'm not LESBIAN


The last few days have gotten messages from girls all over the world to my email-address, saying that they saw my profile and that they are interested and want to know more about me. One mentioned a website called http://www.lesbidating.be/ which is a Dutch website for lesbians and bisexuells.

I think that is a very mean thing to do, to put my profile on a dating website, especially mean to these girls, because they are looking for love!!! These girls writes about their interests, their life and send pictures of themselves to me! Think of that, you person that did this!! You are not mean to me, you are mean to these girls!!

ME EATING BABY FOOD?!?!

Boa noite (as would say in Brazil at this hour)!

Now I know why the Brazilians were laughing at me when I said in portuguese that I eat porridge every morning, in portuguese it is "papa". They were laughing because they thought that I eat BABY FOOD every morning!!! The portuguese word "papa" is used for a lot of things, but in general for baby food and gruel (välling). At least now I know...

Today I have been cooking again... or I'm not sure that you can call it cooking, because I cooked that food yesterday, I just heated it up today and put an extra ingredient into it.

Yesterday the food got too spicy so I had to put some cream I think you can translate it to mini-cream or something like that. And do you know what? No, this dish is a true success, at least according to me... :-) Aren't I a great chef?

Today I have a dilemma... to good things might happen and I need to choose now, before I know the other good thing... Hmmm.... I guess I will rely on fate this time! Anyway, it is very good either way!! It couldn't be better so what am I whining for???

Good night everyone!!

5 maj 2010

I know where your mailbox lives... ;-)

Helloj!!

Finally me and Caroline have decided to see each other for sure... haha! It took us about six years to decide the date for see each other on another place then McDonald's. But still we don't manage to see each other!! We have been planning every Friday for five weeks now, it is like fate is interrupting us or something!

But she was at the spinning class today so I drove her home, and now I know where here mailbox lives... like we use to say here in a little bit of an angry tone, "I KNOW WHERE YOU MAILBOX LIVES, SO DON'T MESS WITH ME GIRL!!!" arrrrgh *dangerous*

About yesterday, it went just great!!! But I was soooooo nervous, I don't know what happened to me, and then afterwards it was like I was so reliefed that I started to feel very sick instead, almost like I had to puke!!

That morning before I went to Stockholm I saw this in Metro:

Just like I'm saying, everything is fate, and this is describing me perfectly!

I don't think I have ever been that full of energy as I was yesterday. First so nervous and then overfilled with energy, so I chatted with the girl next to me on the train for three hours. And I wasn't only talking, I listened to her too of course haha!! She was really interesting to talk to! Nice when you meet people like that everywhere!

About what I did in Stockholm.....? I tell you later!!

Jair is saying that I'm his talk-machine and machine gun of words :-P
I guess that is true.... But he told me that he likes it, my voice makes him sleepy... hmm.. I don't know if that is good or bad... haha!!

I would love to have someone reading me a nice bedtime story with a nice vocie that I can sleep to... haha!

See you! Beijosss!! Tcha-tchau!!

Cooking... not my kind of thing!!

Hello everyone!!

I have just spoken to my sweetheart and now I'm going to bed, because tomorrow it is an important day in the capital of our long country! So wish me good luck!

Yesterday I cooked for myself for the first time since last year when I was in Brighton, amazingly boring... haha!! Everyone who really know me know that I hate cooking... but for a long time of my life I thought that I liked cooking, but I don't!!! I'm so happy that I finally got myself a man that likes to cook.

And by the way, do you know why I cooked for myself??? Haha, because I didn't want to study, I did everything I could to avoid studying until I just had to.... Anyway I'm so happy that Jair is coming so he can cook for me instead, he makes amazing pasta!!!

My sister said the other day... "Emma when it comes to cooking - then you are NOT smart!!!"
Hmm... yes that is kind of right... I always do things in the wrong way, but there is always something to eat when I'm done because I try to make it kind of easy for myself, I only cook things that I know exactly what to do - like sallads, it is soooooo easy, you just need to cut some vegtables and Voila, you're done!!!

Tomorrow I'm going to study Portuguese on the train, I have to impress Jair when he comes here haha!!

So good night everyone!
Dream good dreams about me ;)

Maffians gammaldags bebisspråk och grodor i halsen

Svenska, norska och danska är ju väldigt lika, jag brukar säga till Jair att det är lättare för danskarna och norrmännen att förstå oss än vi att förstå dem.

Norska låter ju lite skoj för oss svenskar... om man riktigt tänker på det. Norska låter ju lite som en blandning mellan svenska gammeldags ord (ex. icke), samtidigt som det låter som bebis-språk eftersom det är bakvänt (ex. brillerna mina istället för mina brillor). Missförstå mig inte, min moster bor i Norge med fästman och två barn så jag tycker inte illa om norska eller Norge. Skulle va kul och höra vad norrmännen tycker om svenska!!!

Norska maffian har ju lite problem med repspekten också... lyssna bara här:



Danska är ju med kul, det låter mer som dom har satt något i halsen men försöker prata ändå. Min mormor berättade (kommer inte ihåg exakt, men ungefär så här) att det var en liten kille som sprang för att öppna dörrren när det plingade. Sen kom han tillbaka till sin pappa och sa att det står en man i dörren.
- Men vad ville han då, frågar pappan.
- Det vet jag inte, han försökte prata men han kunde inte...
Mannen var dansk... haha

Men jag får ju också passa på att hylla den här underbara danska sången som spelas på NRJ




UNDERBAR DANSK LÅT

5 kg lättare!!!

Hej alla!

Nu var det längesen jag skrev sist, men jag ska skärpa mig. Jag har väl gått lite på autopilot det sista kan man säga, typ jobbat, pluggat, tränat varje dag sen jag kom hem från Brasilien för två månader sen.

Den goda, feta Brasilianska maten, barbeques, capirinhas (alkohol, frukt och massa socker), det (äckliga) söta kaffet, alla friterade grejer, goda pão de queijo (ostbröd) och allt annat gott från Brasilien har ersatts med den fetsnåla, hälsosamma svenska maten. I Sverige är det gröt til fruktost, sallad till middag och musli till kvällsmat plus träning sex ggr i veckan och det har verkligen gett resultat!! Hade inte tänkt skriva nåt i bloggen om det men jag blev bara så jävla stolt! Efter bara 2 månader har jag gått ner 5 kg!!

Härligt!!! Fritt fram mot sommaren och i juni kommer Jair!!! Då blir det midsommar och sen så åker vi på semester!! Planen är att det blir en tågluffning i Europa där vi ska till Tyskland och träffa två kompisar där på olika platser och sedan Paris (för att fota eiffeltornet), Marseille för att träffa en av Jairs kompisar och sedan tillbringa ett par veckor hos hans brosor i Portugal. På vägen hem ska vi åka till Italien till hans vänner där och till Ungern och besöka mina vänner och sen hem.

Jag, tidsoptimst? Ja, kanske, har inte planerat så jättebra ännu med tid och så, men jag skulle helst vilja va två veckor minst i Portugal och då har vi ju bara en vecka på oss fram och tillbaka. Men det bestämmer vi sen när Jair kommer!!! Åhhh vad jag längtar!!!!!

I Portugal ska jag också använda mig av all min portugisiska som jag har lärt mig här de senaste månaderna. (Jag kan till och med några riktigt portugisiska orden som bara existerar i Portugal - för att impa på Jair haha)

Nu ska jag plugga igen vi hörs!!

DROGVARNING! Till alla tjejer!

En varning till alla tjejer!

Jag kan säga att jag har haft väldigt tur i oturen.

I söndags vaknade jag upp i min säng av att jag pillade i mitt ansikte, det var fullt med skorpor i hela ansiktet som jag petade bort. Konstigt tyckte jag som först trodde att det var mascara, att jag hade sovit med sminket på. Och sen fick jag syn på min hand som var helt brun (av torkat blod) men min andra hand var helt ren. Skumt tänkte jag och reste mig för att kolla mitt ansikte. Skumt var det också att jag inte kom ihåg ett jävla skit om vad som hände dagen innan.

I mitt rum fanns det också en spyhink, men ingen spya. Alla mina kläder till och med skor och jacka var kvar på mitt rum. Min väska låg i hallen. Efter en del yrsel och lite svårt att se kom jag fram till badrummet. Där fick jag syn på mig själv med en jättenäsa och fläskläpp, håret uppsatt i en knepig tofs och med blod i håret. Nääääe, vad har hänt?! tänkte jag. Och överallt på kroppen gjorde det ganska ont. En stor bula i pannan hade jag också.

När min syster Frida äntligen kom hem fick jag svar på mina frågor. Jag mindes att när vi kom till krogen var vi inte alls fulla eller nåt sånt. Vi drack varsin drink och sen lite senare två tequila-shots, efter det kommer jag inte ihåg någonting. Elin som var med mig på krogen berättade för Frida att jag hade varit helt normal och vi hade dansat och sen hade vi gått ut för att köpa en hamburgare och en pucko. Jag gick med dem i handen och helt plötsligt ramla jag, rakt på min näsa. "SOM TUR VAR!" Hade jag inte ramlat hade jag kanske blivit indragen i någon bil som dom som drogat mig hade. Den här våldtäksdrogen som dom kallar den är ju muskelavslappnade så att man inte ska kunna streta emot om någon våldtar en.

Där låg jag i alla fall på marken och när de två poliserna lyfte upp mig så var jag helt blodig hela ansiktet. Poliserna körde mig hem och släppte av oss där. När jag skulle gå upp för trappan slutade mina muskler helt plötsligt att fungera och jag föll baklänges och gjorde en kullerbytta ner i trappan och låg längst ner i en liten hög. Elin väckte då min syster som blev livrädd att jag hade brutit nacken. Jag var då helt nedblodad och det var svårt att se om näsan var bruten eller inte. Min syster berättade att jag kunde inte prata normalt, jag pratade ungefär som om jag hade en CP-skada. Jag kunde inte heller röra en muskel för att komma upp för trappan. Min syster hade sedan gjort rent mig så gott hon kunde och kollat min näsa och tagit jättebra hand om mig.

Jag har haft enorm tur. Det gör jätteont i ansiktet, men jag får inga bestående men. Jag har inte blivit våldtagen eller något sånt. Jag har fått en hjärnskakning men inget mer. Jag vill varna alla tjejer för detta. Var försiktig, drick helst inget på krogen eller endast flask-cider. Jag har i alla fall lärt mig att vara mer försiktig nu.

O dia especial

É um quente dia de verão na Suécia. Uma menina espera com expectativa por alguma coisa. Ela tem que esperar um longo tempo agora. Ela está muito impaciente e um pouco nervosa também. Várias vezes ela leva um espelho para fora da bolsa para se certificar de que ela parece ótima. Ela tem os cabelos compridos , loiros e os olhos azuis. Ela está usando uma saia jeans e uma camisa branca. Suas pernas parecem bronzeadas. Ela é muito bonita, especialmente hoje, porque neste dia é o dia que ela esperava.


Ela está num edifício enorme, muitas pessoas estão esperando por alguém, tal como ela. Ela espera por uma boa pessoa. Uma pessoa que não tem muitas coisas, mas que ama a vida e é amada por muitos. Uma pessoa que faz isso, ela está feliz . Ele é o amor da sua vida. Ele não é daqui, ele vem do outro lado do mundo para fica com ela. Ele ama ela.

O edifício enorme é um lugar onde as pessoas se reúnem a partir de diferentes partes do mundo, pessoas voltando para casa e pessoas que vêm visitar o nosso país. Mas também um lugar onde as pessoas partem. Mas hoje, nenhum deles parte, hoje, os dois se encontram.

O edifício enorme é um aeroporto. Ela lembra o momento que ela viajou para encontrar com ele em seu país. Quando ele estava esperando por ela no aeroporto e ele estava muito nervoso e roeu todas as unhas. Ela também lembra o momento que ela deixou ele no aeroporto quando ela voltou para a Suécia. Ela esta com muitas saudades dele agora.

Enquanto ela espera por ele, ela está sonhando com ele. O namorado dela é simpático, extrovertido e calmo. Ele tem um família maravilhosa, que deseja que ela possa fazer parte. Ela pensa como ele estará depois de todo esse tempo. Ela pensa: “Oh meu namorado, eu morro de saudade, eu...” Seus pensamentos são interrompidos pelos locutores que dizem que seu avião pousou. Ela está muito feliz, finalmente!

Ela pega um pedaço de papel da bolsa, que ela havia escrito algo apenas para se divertir como se fosse como um sinal, desses que os taxistas utilizam no aeroporto. Agora, as pessoas começam a sair com suas malas de viagem, ela está esperando ansiosamente para ver seu rosto. E onde ele vai! Ele vai até ela e lhe dá um beijo, que ela estava esperando por tanto tempo.

O cabelo dele que normalmente é escuro e encaracolado, agora seus cabelos trançados e loiros nas pontas, porque o sol faz o cabelo dele loiro. A pele dele é morena, ele é muito bonito, ele é mais bonito de que ela lembra. Os dois estão muito felizes e se beijando o tempo todo. Um namorado e uma namorada de dois mundos diferentes, finalmente estão unidos, mas desta vez na Suécia.

O dia é 17 Junho 2010

Lovely cold mosquito-free Sweden

Wow, I really love this weather, it is sooooo nice, please don't go away!!

It is sooooo great it is nice and beautiful, there is no mosquitos and it is like a funny adventure every day to go to work! Some times the car just glide on the ice and when you are walking you can slip like you are walking on a banana-peel. Isn't that nice? Sure it can hurt a little bit on your butt!

And every morning you have to take the snow off your car and when you are done you begin with the ice that is underneath...

Me tired of the winter, ohhhh no!! Haha!!

Wow, I really miss the summer!!! But still I love this in a way too.
But I'm so happy to not have red marks all over my body from the damn mosquitos!!!
NOTE: They love white skin :S

Some nice mosquito memories:

Check in my arm – one of the ”small” mosquito bites…
One of my mum’s feet in Egypt

The mosquitoes bit everywhere they could find some skin. My mum’s feet where the victims this time. She couldn’t even sleep after this and it ended up with her going to the pharmacy to get a shot in her butt, by a creepy guy that was flirting with me…    :S    he even asked me if I didn't want to have a shot too-not cool!!!

Äventyr på väg till jobbet!

Hej!!

Idag orkar inte jag skriva på engelska... Behöver bryta mönstret lite kanske..

Jag hade ett litet äventyr faktiskt påväg till jobbet i fredags. Mamma o pappa säger jämt, ta det lugnt nu det är halt ute. Spelar ingen roll om jag säger "Det är halt på vägen idag så jag kör sakta" eller "Mamma var försiktig idag det är jättehalt", jag får ändå höra den där varningen varenda dag. Och oftast är det en lång utläggning också om hur halt det är... antar att det är typiskt föräldrar haha :)

Hur som helst, vad gör Emma på vägen till jobbet? Jo, kör SAKTA så klart! Jag är ju försiktig! Mina kompisar säger till och med att jag kör som en gammal tant o skrattar gärna åt mig, vet inte var dom har fått det ifrån, för jag tror mamma och pappa tycker annorlunda.

Så i fredags fick jag sladd, när jag körde sakta genom en kurva. Jag ville köra ännu saktare och bromsade och fick därför sladd. Jag sladdade in med nosen på andra väghalvan och rätt in i räcket (som var täckt av snö som tur va) på andra sidan vägen så jag tog upp båda körfälten med min bil. Bilen liksom studsade mot räcket och eftersom det var så halt gjorde en omvändning på 180 grader innan den äntligen stannade. Min enda tanke när jag körde in i räcket var "Åhhhhh nej nu förstör jag pappas bil"

Men när bilen stannade och jag klev ur va den nästan så gott som ny (om man får överdriva) det var bara lite färg från kofångarn som hade skrapats bort men inga märken eller bucklor.TUR ATT JAG KÖRDE SÅ SAKTA och att jag inte fick möte!!!

Det var ett litet äventyr på väg till jobbet det...

"Borta bra, men hemma bäst... eller!?!"

BORÅS, BORÅS, BORÅS (rainy town)

"Borta bra, men hemma bäst... eller!?!"
(Be away good, but at home is best... or not!?!)

Hello!!! Sorry for not writing earlier…


I have really been superbusy!!!

I have now been here in Sweden for two weeks and it is still supercold! I’m really jealous of all Brazilians that have summer right now… but still I have never seen Sweden this beautiful before.

I arrived the 21st of February at the airport in Gothenburg wearing flipflops and a top… My plan was to walk in flipflops to the car and then take socks on afterwards… but WOW that was way too cold!!! I’m very happy that my mum took shoes, socks, a jacket and a really hot sweater with her to the airport!!! What could I do without my mum, she is wonderful!!!

My first day in Sweden I ate sushi with my best friend and I took some pictures of the snow…

The "big" square in my town... covered with snow!

An ice-bear made of ice... very very very expensive!!
Me outside of the shopping center :)

Under all this snow there are actually three cars...!!! My car is not there, but under another hugh pile of snow!! I have to wait until spring before I can dig my car out! Haha!!
Risk for snow or icetaps to hit you in your head, when you walk outside... :S (literally...)
Sweden is a very dangerous place... haha!

It is so much snow here, so people have to take the snow off their roof because it falls in otherwise!!!

What else have I been up to? I have been really busy with seeing my friends and family. I’m also doing something else that I really love, I’m going to my gym everyday! And I’m the coach for my best friend Evelina and that is a full time job… haha ;) just kidding!!

My plan is to be here in Sweden until after Christmas (but I will probably do some smaller trips in Europe during the summer) but after Christmas I will go back to Brazil. So get ready for some adventures in Sweden for a while (I will do my best to do interesting things, even though it is much easier in Brazil).

CARNAVAL EM SALVADOR


The carnival in Salvador was amazing!!! Wow, I really think Salvador has the best carnival!!! I haven’t been to the carnival in Rio de Janeiro or Olinda or anywhere else, but I think I’m convinced anyway.

Rio de Janeiro is famous for the parade, but of fun can it be to watch the parade for seven days??? In Salvador you are a part of the carnival!! Salvador has the biggest street party in the world! There is a big street where trucks with bands playing are going. A truck with a band is called bloco and if you want to take part of the party you have to by a T-Shirt and then you can enter inside of the rope that the security is caring to make place for the area around the bloco. To be in a bloco means that you walk before or after the truck where the band is playing, dancing and having a great time. And it is really so much fun!!

Me and Jair with our bloco- T-shirts!!!

There is about three or four trucks playing at the same time on different trucks going down the road. It takes 7 hours for the truck to go down the road, which means that the people in the bloco is going and dancing for 7 hours (but trust me it felt like I only was there for one hour!!! It was so much fun!!!) Outside of the bloco the people that are watching and jumping up and down (the people that didn’t buy a T-shirt) are called Pipoca which means popcorn!! They are called Pipoca because they look like popcorn when they are jumping up and down!!! Haha!!! It is very easy to get robbed there as a tourist, so you have to take care… and really you shouldn’t bring anything. There are so many people that get robbed there.

If you don’t feel like walking in the bloco (which you really should do!!) you can go for a Camarote instead. Then you can be in a big bar all night and watch the blocos pass safe and sound. Usually it is an open bar too, but that is very expensive. The nice thing is that you can see all blocos pass and not choose just one to be in.
The girls!!!
I spent a lot of time speaking only in Portuguese with the girl in the middle, she really taught me a lot!
 
In the bloco :)



Jair has a friend who has an apartment that is next to the blocos, so we had a free Camarote “Gratis är gott, inte sant!?!”

The free camarote… on the roof!
 
The bloco – the truck with the band
 
The blue men!


Then of course free camarote on the top of the favela too!!


And the necklace I have on me… You usually get from a filho de Gandhi, if you kiss him…


Jair and his friends as Filhos de Gandhi, before he met me of course!!


The whole thing about filhos de Gandhi is to kiss a lot of girls, the girls want the necklace, and they get it in exchange of a kiss. But actually when I saw this in real life I was surprised, because all of them were soooooo UGLY!! I think Jair is too beautiful to be a filho de Gandhi, because it seems that it is just for ugly guys that can’t get any girls!!! Haha!!

Salvador - Ele e eu

Ele e eu
PARA SEMPRE

This is the thief that stole my heart that I told you about earlier…

SALVADOR!!!

Salvador is really my favorite place in Brazil. I think I was born there in my life before… I have said for a long time that I was probably a Brazilian girl in my last life and know I finally know where I was living also.

I had very easy to adapt to Brazil, I love the way the people are and I want to be just like them, and I think I am like them more or less… I love the Portuguese language; I’m passionate about it… I can’t dance samba, but not all Brazilian girls can do that… But all Brazilian girls can shake… and me too!!! Not a lot of Swedish girls like to do that… and a clear sign is that I have a typical Brazilian butt… haha!! When I started on Atlas Copco the girls there told me that my butt doesn’t look European at all… and it looks like that no matter how thin I get!!

Why do I think I was born in Salvador?? Hmm… yes that is easy. First when I was in São Paulo I realized that everyone was so well dressed… I like to be well-dressed too… But I also like to have short dresses and skirts and that I just not alright to wear in SP… in Salvador I just fit right in!! Amazing!!

And something else, I think I was poor in my last life… I mean I’m just so fascinated about the poor areas, I think the houses even look beautiful even though they are soooo poor. I don’t feel like home in the nice apartments and with the rich people, but in the favela and with the poor people I feel at home and comfortable!!! Isn’t that crazy?!?!

So in Salvador, I had a great time! And I can just thank my beautiful boyfriend for that! Jair, meu namorado!!!


The first night in Salvador we went out and I got to meet some of Jair’s friends one of them was this funny guy, that makes hats of coconut palmtrees!!!

He had one hat for every one of us!!!

My beautiful boyfriend

Jair and me in front of his bar (in the background) during the carnval


Jair also get a lot of attention in Salvador, not every day… But when he take of his braids and let his afro go… He has the biggest afro I have ever seen in my life!!! And the coolest thing about it, is that it is all blonde in the top because of the sun, without color or anything!! The blonde hair in the top has the exact same color as my hair!! COOOOL!! I admit that I don’t like the afro very much, but I just love to touch it… haha!! Jair loves the attention he gets haha!!!



People on the street laugh, call for him, admire his afro and also they drop comments like “Did she find him at the zoo or what?!?!” Jair just loves this!!! I could never imagine that he would get so much attention just because of his afro!!

You can probably imagine how it looks like when we are walking together at the street… He with the biggest afro ever and me with the blondest hair!!!! NO, people are not looking… they are STARING!!!

It looks pretty funny in the morning... when all the hair is standing right up... haha!!


To walk into the Favela where Jair lives the first times was a little bit nervous, not because I was scared or anything (I’m brave… haha), but because everyone was staring. The first times I went in there the girls immediately started to talk to each other about me, Jair translated what he heard them saying when we passed them on the street. Comments like: “I have never seen a girl with that white hair before” (in Brazil my hair is called white… haha!!) And that my hair is beautiful. On the beach a little girl called for me and told Jair that I look like Barbie!!! Haha, so now Jair call me Barbie girl… I don’t mind that I love Barbie ;)

The favela where Jair lives...
... you need strong legs to walk here...

The view from the top of Jairs house

Jair on the top of his house

Jair works as a surf instructor, next time in Brazil he will teach me :)




In the favela it seems like everyone has a nickname… One guy is called Big (but he’s not very big), another is called Farmácia (I asked if he knew a lot about medicine, but I didn’t get any answer for that). I really cute boy… maybe 4 years old is called Shark, everyone calls him that but Jair didn’t know why. Jair’s nickname is Fantasma, which means “ghost”… Pretty cool nickname, huh!?! He got it because he was so white before he got his nice tan ;) He is still very white where the shorts have been – the same color as me actually!!

Here is the ghost!!

Almost every day me and Jair had Açai for breakfast. A fruit that has a lot of calories (that I don’t need by the way…) but which is very very healty. If you eat it in the morning you can go almost the whole day without eating anything… just have some dinner on the evening. It is very nice because they mix it and it taste like a sweet ice-cream which is very nice when it is sooooo hot all the time.


We also had crabs a couple of days and one time we had mussels that looked more like gastropods, it was very good!!!

Looks disgusting, but it was delicious :)

Something else that is very very healty, full of minerals and antioxidants and which is very good for your skin is coconutwater so I had a couple of those every day!! I love them it tastes soooo good!!!

Me with a giant coconut!!! Mmmmmm... jummy!!!

Jair is also an excellent cook, he made pasta one day and another day he made…

… a traditional Salvador dish…
Moqueca de camarão e peixe
Something with shrimps and fish...
maybe it doesn’t look very good, but it was delicious!!!

The first two weeks it was beach, beach, beach… so nice!! I just loved it!!!
Gansta-chick!!

Jair' sister Janini made my nails on both hands and feet, very beautiful!!!
 
Jair with a really cool, very cute boy…

The boy said to Jair that he wanted a girlfriend like me!! Haha!! When Jair was away he came to flirt with me and when Jair was looking he kissed me on my back and run!!

So hot and nice water!!

Me under water… hmm…

I need to practice to be under water… I just floated up to the surface all the time… Actually, I don’t even think that I know how to dive any more or how to swim under water…

Jair and his bar…





Next post in the blog will be about the carnaval… :-)
