here we go...

I have finally arrived here in BIG BIG Sao Paulo. Just imagine the biggest city you have ever lived in and then multiply until you get tye 20.000.000 habitant mark. Then you may have a slight idea.

Anyway... the fligth was really cool. The flight to Rio which I was supposed to be on with Anja was helplessly overbooked. So they asked if anyone could switch flight and go first to Sao Paulo and then to Rio. Of course I did! And I got off in Sao Paulo, thus saving me a tiring bustrip from Rio to SP. Well... my luggage didnt get the changes that fast, so it was delivered to me yesterday at midnight. Which was a fairly great, because that way I didnt had to go around Sao Paulo with the whole stuff.

Got to the apartement at about 11h. Got to know Giulia, Ligia and Daniela. Loved them all. My room is ... cosy 2,50 x 2,50, but really nice. Elisa, a friend here in sao paulo lend me a mattress for the year, so I was able to actually sleep that night.

And this afternoon I will be going to university with Ligia to find out what the h... I am supposed to do in order to be a proper student at Universidade de Sao Paulo (USP).
Ohh, and by the way... I just got the confirmation for an internship at the general consulate in Rio de Janeiro in August/September/October... so dont expect me back before October 15th...

this is me... then

Oh, before I forget! Here you get a picture of mine as I look currently. Bright red hair, rather short. This one has been taken about two month ago during the orientation week for YFU students going of to Brasil/Chile/Argentina/Ecuador. As you can see a rather relaxing orientation, seeing me laying around thus comfortable having nothing to do than do conversation with my fellow teamers ;-)
Anyway, got to go to my mala to pack some more stuff in there, or better to try to get the whole thing beneath 20 kg... did I already mention I hated this restriction?

Cause I'm leaving on a jet plain ...

... don't know when I'll be back again...

And in fact I DO NOT know! Cause as for know I have still an internship pending, so possibly it'll be october 'till I come back. October 2006!

Anyway, today I tried to get my stuff packed and I realized that 20 kg isn't really much if you are supposed to pack for a whole year. So I just left everything where it is (my father is really delighted about the way I messed up his whole office... but he'll have to live with that until 4ta feira (tuesday).
I'll meet with Anja on the trainstation and we will got to Frankfurt together. Supporting each other until arriving in Rio from where on I'll be on my own. But buses leave for Sao Paulo every two hours so I'll manage to get to SP the same day.
I guess I am getting kind of excited, meninos...
