Party with my finest

Me, Christin & Carro

Carro, Ida and me!

I just had the best weekend in a really long time! My finest girls came to visit me in Gothenburg and we had a really good time out, a crazy one as always!
We ate Tacos, drank wine, danced to the gummy bear song, touched Peter Siepen and so much more!!!

YES! Bloco Carnival 2011

We were only planning to do two things during the carnival so weren’t really planning to go to Bloco Yes! Anyway we decided to go but Emil didn’t have more money for buying a T-shirt so all our friends cut of a piece from their T-shirt to make one for Emil. Emil didn’t believe that it was going to work but Leo convinced him! A woman in a store put the T-shirt together, but you could see that it was fake long way… Anyway Emil managed to stay inside without get thrown out for the whole time and he only paid R$10 which is 40 kr or 4 euro for a T-shirt that we paid R$250 (1000 kr or 100 euro) awesome!!! The funniest was that after the bloco finished and we were heading back to the bar someone stole Emil’s totally fake T-shirt! How can that happen!?!

Carnival!

Camarote Skol 2011

Today I was thinking of finally write about the carnival! I really wanted to do it before but I haven’t felt like I was ready to talk about the carnival because of what happened. But know I feel better. I had really fun during the carnival, the four days that I had the time to experience.

Camarote Skol was by far the best! We had open bar, free make-up, free decorating of the clothes for girls, free beer-glass, free hand-cuffs ;) they handed out a lot of other things to put in your hair also. It was awesome and so much fun! I wished we could do that every day!

We went with Jair’s awesome Italian friends Roberto Faga, Elso di Marco, Massimiliano and his girl! We had so much fun!!!!

Jair and me

One thing happened there that was a little bit scary but it’s normal if you’re me… I faint sometimes and I’m actually happy that Jair got to see that because now he knows that I’m not dyeing or something like that if it happens again he will know that there is no problem. I felt a little bit funny after one sip of my glass, like I couldn’t breathe probably so I asked Jair to stay one second with me before leaving with the others. Then it happened I was hugging Jair and just passed out and started to shake a little bit (according to the people who witness the whole thing). Just a short while after I felt someone holding my back, like in a dream and I woke up. I saw that Jair was still standing up with me hugging me and there were a lot of people around us. A guard was there and I was sure that I was going to tell me to go home, but he was just there to check on me and I felt fine, I felt like it never happened. Everyone told me, to drink water, but I didn’t faint because I was thirsty of course not haha! And I felt better than ever, like I just had a powernap! No more dizzy nothing! So we continued the party and stayed until the place closed at 5 am. 

Jair's wonderful Italian friends that we are planning to visit in august this year!

Little brother Emil with a sixth-sense, at the same second as I fainted he walked up the stairs and found Jair holding me - magic connection

Elso, Jair and Roberto - belengooooo

Family!!!

Bloco passing-by, but there was actually more find to be in the camarote than in the bloco! There is much more things to do in the Camarote and much more safer!

My very own free stylist!

Bloco truck passing by, you can see the little bar there cool!!

Mmm... I love beeer!

What are friends for?

Jair & Thomas

Bohemia – Friday nights are busy!

Jair – the day after – still drunk :)

Right now, me and Jair are kind of poor… But hey, the beach is for free! And the beer is cheap… But sometimes it would be nice to go to the club or eat some nice food, while we still are in Brazil. I love that, I rather spend all my money going out to have fun with friends or by eating in a nice restaurant, but right now we are simply not able to… But Jair has this amazing friend that takes me and Jair out, even my brother one time! He makes sure that we have one drink each in our hands all night long, he makes sure that weren’t hungry and he makes sure that we have a lot of fun!!! That’s a friend!!! I’m waiting for that day, when me and Jair can spoil him like he spoils us!! Thank you Thomas!!

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!!

Couchsurfing.org

Wow, sorry for not writing… I guess the last post just took all my energy… Anyway, I will not write a lot this month or next month, because I’m going to travel again! Tonight, I will go to Rio de Janeiro and on Friday I will go to Salvador for three wonderful weeks!!!

And also, I have no officially switched to English in my blog; I hope that is alright for everyone. I know my grandma and grandpa are great at English so they won’t have a problem.

Since I got back from my trip, I have been sick twice… The second time was not very fun because me and my whole family got some bacteria in the stomach, everyone was puking… And all of us had to go to the hospital. I was the worst at the hospital and was struggling really hard to not puke or faint because I was all dizzy. All of us got drops and when they put the needle in my arm and I was already so close to faint, everything just went black and I started to puke… hmm not a very nice experience!! The weird thing is that this is one week now, and I can still not eat normally without stomach pain, so I can usually just eat one meal a day!!!

Couchsurfing – I just joined this website couchsurfing! And wow, I just wished that I knew about this website earlier. It is such a nice project!!! Mainly it is about 1.6 million people over the world that are trying to help each other to travel by offer free accommodation. But is so much more than just this… it is also to get to know new people!

I have known about it for a long time, but it was first when I met a guy in Recife that was from London that I actually realized that this project would be just perfect for me. I LOVE to meet people, I’m a people person with a passion for people! I believe that you can’t really know a country without living in the country, because you have to get to know the culture. Not read about the culture… you have to feel the culture, experience it… and to do that you have to hang out with the locals. Therefore, travel alone… or maximum two people and hang out with the locals. I believe that this project actually can let you know the country without living there.
So when I get my apartment back in Sweden, I will host people and show them around in Sweden as much as I can!!

Anyway, so I have already met some people from couchsurfing here in São Paulo. Couchsurfing has this great function that you can see nearby travelers so a lot of Brazilians have contacted me! One of them actually moved to Sweden to Gothenburg last week, a really cool guy!

One of took me to a Motel, that may sound a little bit weird as people usually go there to have sex. But it was the best place to hang out in, we didn’t have both a Jacuzzi and a swimming pool but we had a really nice Jacuzzi with a sun roof, which could open – unfortunately it was no stars that night. Anyway, I never thought you could have so much fun as friends in a motel!!! But we drank wine and talked all night in the Jacuzzi! We made a big mess by putting too much water in the Jacuzzi, so the place was soaked, it was all wet with soap and water… And Emma goes to get the wine… and on the way back… Emma falls on her butt with the wine!! But I was lucky I just broke on glass in my fall!! Haha!!

Another guy took me too SkyBar and wow, that was really amazing. An amazing view!! I so wish that I could capture that image I have in my head with a camera!!

This week that passed I have been on several barbeques, met a lot of new people… And wow, I just enjoy this country so much… I can’t believe that I’m really leaving in just one month. But I’m also happy to meet everyone at home!!! And I will probably be in Sweden for one year so I hope they are ready to have me back!!!
