EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEpaaaa!!!

That is it normally: I´ll be off tomorrow to Montevideo (Uruguay) to start seven months of amazing world discoveries.. I say normally because actually there is a massive strike at the Rio airport at the moment and Imight have to wait a few long hours there.... (there is an english word starting with "f" which I might pronounce if it happens).
But let us start to describe a bit my life here for you to understand how hard it is to leave this amazing city. A typical day starts with the sun shining like a varnished shoe!!,,, something like 30 degres the sounds of parrots and colibris to wake me up....on my shitty bed as hard as a fakir carpet hahah; but it is true!! you have to be really tired or really drunk to sleep on that.Then I swich on my computers posted next to my window to use the wireless internet of my neighbours.
A liter of cofee later I am in front of my screens and start my day.... Somedays I´ll go to my spanish classes (I tried to learn a bit of spanish before arriving in the other south american countries//// heu that is what we can call a try //caraca! It is just confusing my portuguese but it gives me a good conscience...) Anyway, those courses are free as I did the website for the language school so why not. Other days in the center, I meet my fantastic girlfriend for lunch.
then I go back to work until 6 time for my beach volley training on Ipanema beach with all the professionnal players from all around the world (it makes me feel good even though I am still useless at this sport which I love). The day finishes generally under a caipirinha fall or so with some friends. the amazing thing about Rio is the lack of stress everyone is coooooooool. not ready this week, it´ll be next. The only problem is when you have to work with other sevices here::: I was the other day in a printing shop to print an A4 black and white...>> it took the guy 20 mins... I lost a bit my patience on this one so at the end I did it myself. Fom thursday on it is the weekend::>> thursday afternoon you see the beaches full of people, and normally they are cariocas and no gringos(tourists)... But Rio is as well of course the lovely ladies and the liberated extroverted gays (for the first time, I got whistle by a guy in the street/// really strange).

Anyway, I really like my girlfriend and it will be hard to leave but as we say in french: c´est la vie! I have to leave you there as I still have to pack and to finish some work..... sa ya soon.
