Today I arrived in Ijuí, but first I want to tell even remember what the last days was still going on.
In the last entry "First sign of life", there are now more photos and a small addition!
On Tuesday, Selma and I made a small trip to the Gruta do Maquiné [Grutta you Mackinäh] at Cordisburgo [Kordschisburgo], a cave about 120 km from Belo Horizonte. There
some impressions here:

A cave painting 
Highway
... really great, the cave
Schick, right?
Selma and I in front of a pile of whipped cream ...?
... and again at the exit of the cave
evening, back in Belo Horizonte, there was even a visit from a friend of Selma and her daughter, who wanted to meet me necessarily. The two were very nice, but I wanted to jump the similarity between the two somehow not quite in the eye: the mother was relatively light-skinned, but rather Moppel and had almost corkscrew curls, the daughter was a typical mulatto, dark-skinned, tall, slim and smooth black hair. I typed out that the father would have probably brought as dominant genes into play, but later told me, Selma, that the father had the same type as the mother. Despite everything, there is the mother insisted that it was their own daughter. ... Either here is so against an extreme case of Erbsprung or an extreme case of repression ...
On Wednesday morning I had (to write and time the first blog post) "free", because on this day Selma morning had to work and afternoon I got to another part of Alan's family, whom his father's part, to the Selma still has a lot of contact, apart from Alan's own father were all super friendly and have Alan's grandmother and aunt Cida me plenty of Pão de queijo [Paun ( g) de-ke ischo; "cheese bread"] and coverslipped homemade cookies for my "home" to Campinas in the evening. I also have another brush with Werbeaufdrück Aunt CIDAS get dental practice:)
The word "toothbrush" I remember another thing: Here in Brazil is the majority of people the dental note, there are 3 to brush twice a day, the teeth, serious and brushes his teeth after lunch. Exemplary!
On Thursday morning, I came back in Campinas.
as Campinas, since the last time I was here (finally) a new, extremely chic Rodoviária received their recognition for me was quite small, and besides, I was so deep and strong and well slept in the bus that I did not notice that the bus had stopped. Fine, but then as all the other people also stormed out of the bus did, then I realized that we are there.
have on this day I do a lot more done, only lunch with Alessandra in the cafeteria of the UNICAMP and evening movies in the Shopping Dom Pedro * along with Alessandra and a friend of hers, before the movie begins more quickly did their Mother's Day shopping in the shopping center.
The Friday was spent mostly at the UNICAMP: morning Meetings, philosophizing and black tea to drink with Dirceu, then visit with Alessandra in her laboratory and leave: (, then lunch with Yulios, later a portion of Açaí ** for headaches acts (real surprise), then meeting with Eduardo and descent on the! motorcycle to the center of Campinas (UNICAMP about 10 km away from) the Pastel ***- eating. As it was already early evening was that we were right in the thick of evening rush Campinas. On the bike you get, but still it is relatively easy, we must take advantage of containing only the space between the cars, facing a red light, snake, or roll, more or less already slow ... If a little adventure, a motorcycle ride at dusk in the evening rush of a Brazilian city.
After Pastel food back "home" to Karina's house, farewell phone call to Karina, who had actually this evening want to come home to go to again, together, can give up this plan, but for various reasons had to, and later Going out in the salsa bar "Ruda" with Yulios where we met a few friends of Yulios.
Just a reminder: Not salsa, but Samba is from Brazil! Salsa is similar in Brazil so exotic as in Germany. Therefore, it was in the salsa bar before the live band began to play first some introduction to merengue, bachata and even salsa, just like many Noches Latinas in Germany. Brazil Brazil ... but would not if the people here have no rhythm and optimism in the blood and so learned the Brazilian "students" all much faster than is the case in Germany, and also without whining by the lords of creation.
(is the person blurred in the middle of the salsa teacher) salsa lessons in "Ruda" 
But why on earth I'm going to dance now Salsa in Brazil? On my last trip to Brazil, I was already dancing with Yulios (= Peruvian) Salsa gone without there knowledge of Salsa have. I thought that would do that for so, for the Brazilian Forró yes I had also just learned Sun ... Except that I had just underestimated that salsa but a corner is more complex than Forró and so I have quite embarrassed that night. Back in Germany I noticed that I had only a few semesters to study end and that I had been the great selection of university sports have not really exploited. So I participated in a Salsa lesson and so I was prepared for now to save my honor and I also believe it I made it! :)
remained after this evening I have a full 2 hours of sleep before me Karina's parents brought to the airport at 5:30 clock in Campinas (... that with only 2 hours sleep before a long journey seems to be habit ...) from where I fly to Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, took .
With my total about 38 kg of baggage, spread over a large and a small suitcase, a backpack, a handbag and a jacket, armed I took at the airport the van to the Metro station and from there the metro to Rodviária. Fortunately, there was two Burschis of about 17 who were on the same flight as I arrived and also wanted to Rodoviária, who felt pity for me and my whole Luggage and I therefore had offered their help, which I accepted gladly given all the steps and paths that were overcome. The two were on their way to a break-dance competition and accordingly looked like from the Bronx, so I doubted it at first, if I could trust them my stuff, but it turned out that they were quite tame. Despite
would help but still plenty of baggage left over to bring me enough to work up a sweat, especially since the guys had quite a hurry because they do not want to miss their bus. But I did anyway still just under 3 hours would leave time for my bus to Ijuí and obtained enough time to rest. After I my bus ticket was bought, so I treated myself to a first cafezinho and pineapple juice in one of the lanchonete (something like a snack) in the Rodoviária. On the bill at the end I was quite surprised: R $ 1 (about 34 cents). In Campinas, I would have 4 times or more paid for the same! Here in the south of Brazil, the prices are still a lot less than in the region of Sao Paulo.
After this break it was off to my "bus lane" to await the remaining 2 hours. And something I seem to have on me, but the people chose me out preferably if they wanted any information. Not that all around me dozens of Brazilians have been ready ...
The bus trip took 6 hours and Ijuí initially led by a green hilly landscape and then through a green-gray-brown rolling hills of lots of harvested fields here and there interrupted by a few trees and bushes. Somehow reminds me of a mix of the German low mountain ranges because of the hills), Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (because of the large fields), but that was mainly in the fields, only one crop is cultivated: soy.
When I arrived in Ijuí, it was already dark.
At the Rodoviária I was picked up by Tati and Ane. Tati had already made a abroad in Recklinghausen and also speaks German and Ane is pure German descent (also clearly legally), but had never been to Germany and speaks no German. The two brought me to my accommodation, the "Pensão do Bosque", which I have for R $ 460 (€ 160) per month, a small room (with shared bath, but 2 bathrooms for 3 girls really should be enough;)), my laundry is washed and ironed, and I will vollverpflegt from Monday morning until Saturday noon (as I only arrived on Saturday evening, I got this weekend was mitverpflegt also:)).
More to my accommodation Ijuí and there's the next day, now I have to first again in the bed, because tomorrow morning my present thesis supervisor Walter Frantz comes by here in the Pensao do Bosque.
* is The Shopping Dom Pedro, according to legend, the largest shopping center in Latin America and beyond, just 5 minutes drive from the UNICAMP.
** is the acai fruit, such as guarana, a natural energizer and is usually eaten as a sorbet with a variety of grave goods (eg banana and granola, "much like crunchy). Has already helped me with a mega hangover of me all day had left nothing in the bed, still eating. After a bowl of frozen Açaí Fruchtmuß I was restored and once again did the fruit of their services for my headache.
*** The Wikipedia says of "Pastel":

In Brazil the Pastel is a salgado (salty snack) Primarily sold on the street with a thin pastry envelope containing minced meat , catupiry and chicken, shrimp or another filling and then deep fried. Sweet pastéis exist and therefore may contain guava jelly and cheese or other fillings.
