Soooo, now that I am already almost a week here, I'm finally a quiet morning and can write a few lines about it, how is my last day here given Sun
So, last Wednesday I came after 27 hours of travel (train from Lüneburg to Frankfurt, flight from Frankfurt to Salvador da Bahia, 4-hour stay in Salvador, 2 additional hours of waiting, as had been approached at the airport any vehicle our aircraft and the only just had to be repaired once, and then took the flight from Salvador to Campinas, womich for Karina's parents received *) late at night in Campinas, where I had done my internship in Brazil, at.
Before my departure I had only slept 2 whole hours, because I remember really quite nervous and was beside myself, mainly because the thought of me, Daniel 10 weeks see to can not, but very painful and because I was kind of afraid to have, how things work in Brazil and to feel as lost as the beginning of my last stay. But at least the latter dissolved very soon after my arrival in Salvador. Back in Brazil to be felt almost a bit like coming home, and in no case, I felt strange and / or lost.
And the subtle difference between Germany and Brazil, I was also immediately brought to mind: As at the gate for my flight Salvador Campinas came the message that the flight would be delayed indefinitely, no one has responded only partially annoyed! Of course, no one has even happy, but people took them left their jokes about the situation and no one has even the slightest upset.
Well, on Thursday I had the same for even a fairly full schedule: lunch in the cafeteria of the UNICAMP (where I had done my internship) with Yulios, who makes his Masters at UNICAMP, then right after that meeting with Erika (in the I made the same laboratory internship and then has, until Recently, two semesters abroad in Rennes made in Brittany, where I visited last summer, and she visited me in Lüneburg) and Alessandra had (my neighbor in Campinas and made from August to December 08, a placement in Lübeck) . Then Erika and I drove to the city center for our pregnant internship supervisor to pay a little visit (her little son the day before yesterday were born!).
On the bus ride to the city center, I did the same for even the acquaintance of an ultra celebrities from Campinas: The Superman of UNICAMP! On the bus, very close to Erika and I sat a rather scruffy, fat man with longer hair on the steps of an output. First I thought he would go with the girl standing behind him tell what he was doing some, but then I realized he was talking mainly to himself. Something that he wanted to have long hair and tie them in a ponytail and a black hat would do, and sunglasses, so that he would look like Michael Jackson. Well, at one point he turned to me and asked me the time and when I told him that he asked me if I know the Superman of the UNICAMP. I said no, but he did not misled. "I am, I am the Superman of UNICAMP!" he said proudly. "At my video * there have been 5000 visitors! Pretty much what?" Short Then he got out and Erika told me that he just in Supermankostüm on the campus of UNICAMP running and dancing like Michael Jackson. First of all, he thought a student was acting and would organize everything about it, but then it turned out that he has just a crack ... Wow, but I'm hardly a day in Brazil and already I'm learning about Superman * laugh *
up because I came back to Karina's house, it was already evening and again Vitor also came with Karina at (Vitor an internship in 2006 in Lüneburg made. Actually, he lives 200 km from Campinas away, but he came to Campinas to Karina and me again) and a little bit later, we gathered together with Karina Karina's brother Leo from the Rodviária (= ZOB) from ***. Well, and actually I thought that Karina was tired from the trip and we would do nothing that night, but since I had completely forgotten that Karina's battery is almost never empty. So we went for in a bar where Sertanejo **** played by a live band and where we met many colleagues from Karina. The bar was full to bursting. In the audience were also a few real cowboys! ... Well, at least they thought they were that ... As in the wild west, collapsed right behind us and then going on a fight, when we had just arrived and we pushed through between all people. A few bottles and jars flew through the air, all jumped as far as they could to the side, the band stopped playing. Long did the whole thing but not the ruffians were soon transported by the Securities from the bar, the party could go on. And they did. It was only around 5:30 clock in the morning we came back home.
Vitor, I, Karina and Isa
Friday was much quieter then, what was different for me is also not possible after a night out and only 4.5 hours of sleep. We (= Vitor, Karina, Alessandra et moi) visited Karina's sister Erika (Erika another), which was pulled together six months ago with her boyfriend, Felipe, and made them at home a delicious Churrasco [Hasko schools], a Brazilian barbecue. Vitor's for me and that was it for now on this day. Karina contrast, the evening went to a wedding ... ... and stayed there until the next morning. When she came home she woke me and Vitor. We made all of us quickly finished and took Erika (Karina's sister) from, because we had 2.5 hours' drive from us. Why? We wanted to spend the weekend at the beach as possible and lose any second of it! We went to Riviera de São Lourenço, a "Condomínio fechado" (= closed estate, in this case, including the beach) at Bertioga where Karina's uncle house added. The house was really great, like all the other houses in the Condomínio also had a swimming pool and was so dense that it is lost with only 4 people in it almost seemed. The weekend we enjoyed so calm and relaxed with a beach and Churrasco:) Despite that it is almost "winter" here, the sea was still quite pleasant and the air temperatures of course (I have so very already a f] color very little get:)). And the advantage is on such a private beach that one for once, not so much concerned about his property must. And in the Condomínio have the houses, unlike in the cities, no walls, fences and barred windows. The luxury of security can afford but only people with some degree a lot of money.

On Sunday afternoon we made our way back, this time on a different route, as Karina, Vitor wanted and I will travel from Sao Paulo in different directions. were on the way to Sao Paulo, the highway runs through the town Cubatão. "City" is actually a euphemism for Cubatão, "dirty industrial complex" would be more appropriate. So if there is a hell for small environmental scientist, then I know where she is ... The "city" consists Cubatão burn from an endless number of industrial plants, chimneys, pipes, fire, the refinery gases. And all is right in the Atlantic rain forest (Man, the city had placed here, because it was hoped the forest would act as a filter or cover ...), of the miraculous way in spite of acid rain is still quite a lot. The air was burning there, almost in the lungs ... It's no surprise that here comes to striking many miscarriages and birth defects ... A very nice impression given by the following pictures
However, in São Paulo so our ways parted: Erika went back to Campinas, by Vitor Botucatu, Karina and I order according Vassouras to Belo Horizonte Alan visit to Selma and Julia *****
On Monday morning I arrived an hour late because of the holiday returnees congestion in Belo Horizonte, it's where I was in Selma reception. After breakfast we drove to a Salão de Beleza, where I left for the equivalent of about 5 EUR make hand and foot nails (for the price you can afford the real and here there is cause to be among the women also standard, the nails ). Now I'm French-nails and I am free from my cuticles (which is also standard that the cuticle is removed. Do a bit of pain and the sense one might argue ...).
When we got home, Julie had already come back from school and awaited eagerly and. After lunch, I brought Selma and Juliet in their English school (actually, a private English school but because the owner is a friend of Selma, Julia gets there 2 times a week free tuition. Julia was also in the normal school English classes, but is in the public schools in Brazil, as Julia's school is a very little effect ...) and after the English class, we went to the Mercado Central in Belo Horizonte, a building where what do I have as many small shops inside sell the mainly regional products (see also the entry of Belo Horizonte, September 2007). I like very much like the Mercado Central, is much more than any interassenter Shopping Center where you can see anyway for the most part accessible only to the same transactions.
Joah, and Aben I'm with Alan and his two drinking friends have a beer left, which has, however, limited in time a lot, because one hand had to get up three on the next day at 6 for work, on the other hand, the bars made before early on tight, because in Brazil, not many people go Monday night from (I would even say that there are less than in Germany). A bar was not even even more beer for us all 4
Addendum: One of the first information I got from Selma to my arrival, was that Alan had formed together with some colleagues a pagoda-group (Pagoda = slow, romantic heartbreak, Samba). ... But I had Alan the last time I had seen it told that he pagoda abkann absolutely not (see entry for Belo Horizonte, September 07). To change has the time:) Anyone interested can a video of his group "Quebra Cavaco" View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2bCuum5wts
S elma, Julia, Alan and I 
So, that's enough for the first time today, the rest I will tell the next day:)
