Nada denuncia tanto la ordinariez de espíritu, la ramplonería y plebeyez de alma como el apego a la comodidad. El señor que no sabe viajar sin amohada y baño es un mentecato.

Recuerdos/omiague/lembrancinhas for my “gringos” friends.
Almost every apartament with brasilians has a flag, it is like a be aware sign: party, rice and beans and people dancing to kuduro! Ok I am just kidding!
I was looking for a São Paulo’s flag, but it is not that easy to find!
So If you are in Vista way and saw This Lovely flag, can be me! :)
One week …

The World Is Mine!
I want to conquer it, but I am still a lovely and cute hurricane… Stitch is one of my favourites Disney´s characters, because he is just like life, tough, yet, makes you want to grab it to enjoy everything, and also, he loves Elvis Presley and surf.
He is here to represent another small step in this happy journey, yes I will be back to Disney as a cultural representative. I will try to take away some of the preconceptions about brazillians and to help all the guests (tourists) to get the best out of theirs vacation.
Yes, sometimes we are just like Stitch, noisy, messy, but it shows an outgoing, cheerful and colorfull personality. If we are happy, we show it and sometimes it can be pretty annoying, ok, most of the times it is tottaly annoying, I am not happy with that either. But we are a huge country, with millions of people, and everybody is different that´s the good part of being human.
We have to respect.
I work with foreigners, so I know how weird we are for other people, but you know what? All my students love Brazil, because they can be who they are, it doesn´t matter religion, sexual orientation, race, etc, So one thing that the world has to respect about brazillians is their ability to integrate the different.
This will be my mainly task in this exchange.
And, of course, to have a magical experience!

Here and Now
About the mankind “That by thinking anxiously about the future, they
forget the present, such that they live neither the present nor the future.”
I am trying to live in the here and now, but I am the most eager person of the world, really, ok you would be anxious too, if you were in a countdown to travel, to the place you love and to meet people you are really missing.
Why is that so hard for us to live in the present?
Today I will try to do that, maybe that means to give your best at everything you do, work, relations, to your body, to your environment.
If I find the answer I promise to tell, but try to find your own.
