In the last entry 'First days in Ijuí "there is a new part!
After the first two days had still been summer-hot, on Tuesday arrived here by all the long-awaited rain. I was not soooo very excited about it, but all the people here were happy place for you, it already had about 3 months no rain here, and accordingly the water supplies were already strongly to a close. The people in Ijuí could not even remember, it should not consider it possible to clean up their yards and driveways and sidewalks in front of the house with the water hose. A disaster! (In Brazil it is to clean common practice once a week the court with lots of water ... is so important that you can eat in theory from the bottom of the driveway lunch because it's not enough just to use the broom ...) A woman's had yet ventured, was also confirmed by the same police, rightly, with a fine of R $ 600 (approx 200 €). ; No, but no fun in Ijuí the whole thing was still limited, but in other villages in the region, the situation was a bit more seriously. Since the people had only 2 hours per day running water ... This is really a reality that one is completely unknown in Germany ... Even in the summer of 2003, Mega we still had water, while in Brazil, but from time to time comes to shortages, especially at such events as Carnival, during which live in some cities, where else just maybe 30,000 people, are available for 5 days then once just 120,000 people on the road .
Well, now it was raining, however, Problem solved. And as the Brazilian rain soaked through power, not just as the German Autumn Pieselregen, I have the whole day in the Pensao at my desk lush and spent one of the books that had me Walter borrowed from his stock (almost antique pieces), in my thesis gewurstet.
How it happened that I am on this day as good as not talking, at least in terms of real face-to-face conversations, as the boys of the board, which constitute the greater part of the assignment here talking, not really with me or only very sporadically (with the girls do it, but those are just a 2 piece, sometimes 3). The Brazilian is actually a very strange behavior, because I am a) a woman, b) a foreigner, c) blond and speak d) Portuguese ... stick Normally, just the men, on samples like me. But I'm not alone with this experience. Feli, another German, since August is here and the usual Ijuí in the first 6 weeks in the Pensao do Bosque, has made the same experience. And now it has also been improved a little bit:)
came after the first 2 days with a lot of heat for 2 days with much rain and so it was raining and smelled too strongly on Wednesday. But this time everything nothing helped, I had to get out because I had an appointment at the center, with Sidnei. What should I do with this appointment, I knew that would not really. When I was on Monday in the UNIJUI decided Walter and Uli, that it would be good if I would talk to Sidnei, and before I could say much had Uli him the phone receiver in her hand and Sidnei on the phone, said only: "Hi Sidnei , here is Uli. Sarah is here, I'll give it to you once, so you can make an appointment "and I already had the earpiece in my ear:" Hello Sarah, all clear.? Have you received? When would you fit it? "Despite my awareness overwhelmed but I've managed to agree on sovereign RELATIVE an appointment for Wednesday morning, without knowing exactly what actually for. After the phone call me Uli cleared yet informed of where Sidnei is located (the UNIJUI is namely also a few offices in the city center and there is also located Sidnei) and that Sidnei with processamento geologico (= GIS = geographic information system) works, which gave me at least once a hint. & # 160; So I met on Wednesday morning for Sidnei, an albino man in the 2nd half of the 30 (... that was the first time in my life that I've seen an albino people live). The meeting with Sidnei, who was very sympathetic, has also been lived 3 years in the Pensao do Bosque, has also been involved in an internship in Germany (in a small town between Pforzheim and Stuttgart), straight Here his master then begin to complete his doctoral work in Germany can, however, proved to be very fruitful even! Always expect the unexpected. Apart from some useful data sets on farming in the region, he gave me quite a few book tips, and not only tips he gave me the books on Saturday even be over yet! I will also probably on a weekend with him and his wife to Santa Rosa, a town near the Argentine border, to go there a few interviews to do. Sidnei comes from the area there, so he and his wife go there more often, and also has contacts with the local cooperative / association.
On Wednesday afternoon was finally finished my library card I've also tried it once. The magazine archive, I had met through the many "errands" to the lady who made my card. So now with the help of my brand new card through the turnstile in the library ... which is much smaller than I had imagined it ... actually consists only of a single large room with many bookshelves, but then again soooooo many do not and a few desks and a whole were not sooooo many students in the library, not what I'm used to from Lüneburg. In general had my Expectations more or less at Lüneburg scale, not great good and great but not bad is calculated, after all, the UNIJUI is about the same number of students as the University of Lüneburg and Ijuí, as in Lüneburg on the main campus, the central part the library. Well, this is the unreflective expectations ... What it also does not have are copiers, scanners and other copying tools. But to compensate there's two student assistants, which is pressed a note into the hand with the numbers of the books they want to have, and then collect the books together for one. Just admit it again the books away, you can leave after work just in the workplace. This in turn is luxury for me. Joa, and one can in fact work in the library also pretty good, I've found, just simply because not much of going on and the few, but for large work tables can, where you spread out nicely, do the rest.
On Wednesday evening I met then with the above-mentioned Feli (citas) from Tübingen, the 2 semester studying at the UNIJUI (only one was planned, but then it became just yet 2) ) in the "Metamorfose" a Pastel Bar 10-minute walk from the Pensao (the emphasis here is on "foot", because at short distances can be here in Ijuí, do differently than in Campinas, in the dark alone on the socks). It was still strong at the bins and thunderstorms, which caused a blackout in the city, so we were seated about 15 minutes in the dark. Even something like what we in Germany do not know sooooo much. After the power failure was the bar always full and full and bursting at the seams almost the end, as was the Metamorfose on the big screen the game from Gremio, one of the two football teams from southern Brazil. Thus, all faces averted focused on the screen, only Felicia and I stayed focused and we do not schnackt blithely about the same and different experiences that we had room with Brazil. One difference was mainly that apparently the people of Rio Grande do Sul are more conservative than in Sao Paulo, for Feli said that the gauchos, if they have a (n) friend (in), do not leave everything alone in the evening, but always with annex. This has to do with the fact that the people here in terms of relationships, are extremely jealous ... If you then but time alone will go away, all suggest the same, that the relationship is passé and you have at least debated (as it Feli, the a Brazilian friend in Ijuí has often happened). From Campinas I knew such behavior only in a few cases.
After two days now, it was really hot and then 2 days had been raining a lot, now followed three days cold Wintervorbotentage. When I talk about the actual temperatures, every German laughs probably broken, but the thing is just, as I mentioned in my first post, the lack of insulation and heating systems and if insulation + heating = 0 follows then from the outside temperature = inside temperature . So feel because even at 12 degrees rather cold, especially when one spends his days sitting at a desk. One way however, it to move so I went on Thursday evening to the nearby gym, where I had signed up the day before and I think 3 times a week to pay a visit (so far I've held out!). After all this time I will not end up like after my stay in Campinas and not even be able to Bockel "mountain" on which the campus is situated in Luneburg, get up on a bicycle. It also does great after the whole Rumgesitze at the desk to move again. The whole thing cost me, for 2 months and 3 times a week, R $ 100, so about 35 €. On Thursday I was then evaluated for the first time, measured and in all possible categories (size, weight, Fat and muscle) and then got my personal training program shown. ... For some of you may be the old beer, but I've never really visited a gym.
What I have then driven on weekends so that comes in the next few days!
