Ola!
Wow! I can't believe I've been here for two weeks!
Today I said goodbye to Juliane, she will be leaving for the USA soon. I was sad to see her go. Today however I moved to my host chairman's house. I will be staying for a week so that my host family can travel to Sao Paulo with Juliane.
I didn't have school today so I went to talk to students in a language school. They study English there. I went to six different classes and they asked my questions and practiced their English. It was really fun.
Tchau!

Dia do Pais!
Ola!
Happy Father's Day in Brazil! Go and wish your dads a very happy day, from Brazil!
I got sent a bunch of questions and I will do my best to answer some of them. Question number 1: how much of a city is Sao Luis? Well, picture the narrow crowded streets of cities in Mexico but take away the constant noise, it is actually very quiet. Question number 2: what is school like? We have one classroom the teachers, not the students are the ones to move from classroom to classroom. I don't understand everything but I copy down everything that is written on the board and know that one day I'll look back and be able to understand it, that is if I copied it correctly. Question number 3: how do I get around the city? Sao Luis has an extensive system of buses, however I have only ridden in a car driven by my host mother, father or brother.
That's all for tonight!
Tchau!

Rotary
Ola!
Today I went to the Sao Luis Rotary Club to say thank you for hosting me. It went until about ten o'clock. I really am looking forward to doing my presentation butane I couldn't do it tonight because it was only a small amount of time that I had to thank them.
Anyways, I'm having loads of fun and I can't wait to be able to understand what the teachers are saying.

First Day of School!
Ola!
First thing I'd like to say is: yeah, I've been here for six days!
Second thing I want to say is that I still can't figure out how to get pictures onto the blog, I know I've done it before but I think there is some miscommunication between the Internet and the iPad. In other words, it's not me, it's the iPad.
And now we get to the good stuff... I had my first day of school today! I was very nervous but I survived! It was very different than what I'm used to but it was really fun meeting new people, even if I can barely speak their language. One of the funniest things I learned today was that Justin Beiber's name is taboo and will cause people to cover their ears saying nao (Portuguese for no). Anyways... I managed to understand a good deal of what was said to me, until the noise picked up in the classroom or they started going too fast, which was most of the time. Another cool thing I learned it that in Brazil the students aren't the ones who move form classroom to classroom, the teachers move. That's a little different hm? I had a lot of fun, even if school did go to almost seven o'clock.
Now to answer a question that my mom commented earlier, what is the weather like? Well, I guess you could say it is similar to the weather in New England, if you dont like it, wait five minutes, it will change.
Tchau!

Friday
Oi!
Today I want to the beach with minha familia and we had dinner at a small outdoor restaurant. Juliane somehow managed to convince me to try... gasp... shrimp... crab... and fried fish. And even more shocking for all of you is that I enjoyed it, well not so much the fried fish but o meu pai e a minha mae agreed that it wasn't the best they had had. Anyways I love it here and I can't wait until I'm fluent in Portuguese.
