rotary blazer. for us the exchange students, this blazer is a sacred thing. but why does it make us look weird when we're wearing it? tell me about it.
a car plaque with my name on it. a present from Zequinha, my third Brazilian 'pai' (father). this awesome thing is now placed on the back side of my rotary blazer. and of course it kept becoming talk of the night each time I wear my blazer to parties.
I and felipe. hmm... nothing special in particular about this picture. actually I just love how my hair looked there. and well... we were eating at a food court in Centronorte, Apucarana. Felipe is my 14 years old Brazilian brother from my second host family.
I and andrey. we took this picture on one rotary president inauguration night. nothing special too... it just looked funny.
I and a cow. I came from a city populated with 8 million people, with high skyscrapers and cars everywhere. one day my rotary president took me to his family's ranch, and there was this really big cow there. amazed, I took a picture with her.
samuel, I, emily. at another rotary president inauguration night. emily has always been my sister since the first day I met her. an awesome girl with still so many to learn about life, but she's on her way on making it through. a wonderful year having her here in brazil. the little samuel, is emily's brazilian brother, from her third family.
I and Giovanna. yes, I know, my hair. it was a night before a 'juninha' party, an annual party celebrated each june in brazil, to commemorate and appreciate some brazilian saints. and that night suddenly giovanna decided to do something with my hair. look at the results... she even asked me to go to the party with hair. I, with full conscience, rejected immediately.
green rice. I don't know what gives it its color... but the salmon tasted awesome. I found this food in Apucarana, Centronorte Shopping Center.
I and my brazilian parents. as a rotary exchange student, you will always have more than one family. in my case, I have three families, so three pairs of parents, eight siblings, three pairs of grandparents, one pair of great-grandparents, and uncountable number of uncles and aunts. thank God, this far my first two brazilian families are the best! they love me, they really do care about me, and I love them too.
end.
