Hello,
I thought that it was time again to write something in the blog ;-)
I do know, not so right to write what I can, but I you still try even a little story to tell.
Now I'm almost 2 months mittlweile here and I am now settled in really well already. What's new? 3 weeks ago we got a new roommate to do so. He is also a German, and makes exactly the same program as I have here in Brazil. He will remain here for 9 months and live in our Volunteershouse. As I said, he has now also been here for 3 weeks now and learn (with me) Portuguese. Since I was already at the first point: Portuguese! I understand if you speak relatively slowly, has just about everything, but for them to speak it still a bit ticked. It helps me very much indeed that I had in high school English, because some words are similar or the same, but so far I can only say simple things or express. It is indeed in every case much better than the beginning, but really can apply to the language well, I probably still need a few weeks. Well so that's just when you learn a new language.
Since last week wi auchr a new "roommate at the time." He is German and wants to visit his brother, who lives just for a year in Rio de Janeiro. But not for vacation so that he does, he has opted to cooperate with us for 3 weeks and after that to go to his brother in Rio. For those 3 weeks, he also lives here in the Voluhuose.
Today we finally have wireless Internet here in Voluhouse. That's why I could now finally come to and write a new journal.
The work I am running quite well. It is not very exciting, because really every day the same happened, but it makes me still a lot of fun with the young children to work. I have also now been fixed my groups to which I always go back and thus the children know me already and I can thus build a better relationship with them. Even if the children are not just "Tio," but "Tio Cristiano" (pronounced like the Brazilians my name) said to me, I feel better because I realize that the children already know who I am and what I do.
Last week I played with some volunteers and a few Brazilians Ultimate Frisbee. That is now not as a traditional Brazilian sport, but because it gave me quite a lot of fun, I wanted the times to mention ... Ultimate Frisbee is really like soccer, except that not gespilt with a ball but with a Fribee. In addition, there are no gates but you have to catch the Frisbee in a designated area to get a point. Actually know the Brazilians even garkeine Frisbee and the idea came from another German volunteers. Then I come now to
typical Brazilian sport. Just before Christmas, on 12/23/2010, here it is a football game between Horizonte Azul (where I work) and give Monte Azul. This can also play the volunteers and we are already hard at training. Every day during the lunch break, we get together and play a bit too good to be prepared ;-). In the game I am also very much.
Speaking of Christmas: There are a couple good new news. Over Christmas and New Year is a good friend of mine who is currently in Peru for a year to visit us here in Brazil. And after that I will be flying in the middle of January for a good week with her in Peru. This is certainly a very nice time and I'm curious if you can compare Peru with Brazil or if everything is totally different.
Christmas or Christmas decorations but I find this very funny. Although it is currently summer and 30 degrees every day but here is decorated with snowflakes. ;-) I
nor think that arise in me a real Christmas feeling is simply missing because the cold and snow.
Sooo that's now first ... But I'm going to upload in the coming days once new photos, so you also can see something.
See you and best regards from Sao Paulo
Christian
Ps: After almost 2 months, I always go only rice and beans (which there really ANY lunch) already belonging to the cookie! ;-)
