Greetings once more from the Beautiful valley of Blumenau, Brazil. Once again its very hot and humid today with a tempeture of about 85 degrees, and a humidity of about 90 percent. I am thankful im in the shopping mall right now lol. Today I was asked to pay my room in advance at the Hostel becuase they are afraid that people will skip town without paying. Here in Brazil, if someone wants to leave a hotel or hostel without paying the police cannot get involved so frequently people do just that leave without paying ... lol
The lady that works at the Hostel is Paraguayan and asked me if I wanted to leave without paying because there is nothing they can do if I leave she said.... I guess the devil is very astute.... I passed on that one. Even if my funds are running low... I should and must always have integrity no matter what the situation!
Today I went to the English Institute, called Yazi. I had lunch with the lady that will be my immediate boss if they job works out. She corrected my portuguese prononciation quite a bit and also some grammar. I hate being corrected sometimes lol I felt like a little child, but I guess it´s part of the learning process.
I will go out and get a news paper and try to see about getting an apartment. Or I may go where my friend Bro. Jean took me yesterday. The only thing about it is its so far from downtown and has no air. Lol I guess i can manage if im able to find it. Well signing off for now enjoy the picture of downtown Blumenau..... if anyone has an old camera and would like to donate to me... even better if digital let me know please.
Have a wonderful day.......tchau!
