erste rückreise-etappe: von foz do iguaçu nach são paulo. das ist eine recht kurze strecke und wir verbringen den tag in são paulo, eigentlich eine schande, aber die stadt soll laut mehrerer aussagen einfach wirklich nicht sehenswert sein, in unserem hotel. in unserem ersten herrlich gesichtslosen ketten-hotel. das mercure airport bietet uns alles, was wir brauchen: ein blitzsauberes welt-standard-zimmer mit großem tv, fitnessraum, pool und subway um die ecke. so lässt sich der wunderbar warme nachmittag am rooftop-pool verbringen. bissi sport-einheit vor dem mörder-flug von 12 ½ stunden morgen und dann haben wir uns total gemütlich mit microwellen-futter und snacks eingedeckt. der abend wird vor dem fernseher verbracht, ausgestreckt und fein. kurz nach mitternacht beginnt immerhin schon unsere zweite etappe. bis dahin, finden wir, haben wir uns pure entspannung verdient. auch, weil wir ... read more

Bereits eine Woche befinden wir uns wieder in der grössten brasilianischen Stadt. Wohnen dürfen wir bei einem Kollegen, da er sein Appartement nur bedingt selber gebraucht haben wir die Chance uns dort einzuquartieren. An bester zentraler Lage nur 5 Gehminuten von der Avenida Paulista oder der Rua Augusta entfernt, haben wir im 8.Stock einen angenehmen Ausblick über einen Kleinen Teil Sao Paulo's. Während meiner ganzen Zeit hier in der Stadt hatte ich nicht einmal ein negatives Erlebnis mit den Bewohnern, den Paulistanos. dies liegt vielleicht daran, dass die Stadt sehr weltoffen ist und Menschen aus verschiedensten Kulturen hier leben. Man hat das Gefühl die Menschen die hier leben sind trotz des dauernd starken Verkehrs oder der überfüllten Shoppingmalls (um jede Uhrzeit) nie wirklich gestresst. In Bern sehe ich jeden Morgen und Abend mehr gestresste Leute! Man ... read more

Resumo: Exposição de Fotos, A Origem da Felicidade, Muita alegria. Desde que eu voltei ao Brasil eu queria fazer uma exposição de fotos. Não que eu me ache uma fotógrafa, longe disso!! Não sou e nem tenho a intenção de ser. Mas achei que de alguma forma as minhas fotos tinham o que contar! Jantando com o meu pai descobri que o tema do Festival do Japão deste ano era: A Origem da Felicidade. Arrepiei. Sim, eu tinha que participar. Consegui o contato da assessoria de imprensa, fiz uma apresentação em PowerPoint explicando brevemente quem eu sou e qual o meu propósito, cruzei os dedos e enviei o meu pedido. Perguntei se conseguiria pagar mais barato por um espaço no Festival, pois o meu intuito é fazer trabalho social aqui no Brasil. Após alguns dias, recebi ... read more

South America » Brazil » São Paulo » São Paulo June 29th 2014

in the morning we decided to go to the markets in search of a decent breakfast with real eggs. We boarded the metro and headed for Sumare. when we reached the markets we found a similar scenario no breakfast as we know it so it was empanadas and coffee. The market was a little smaller than we expected, but the surrounding shops were open so there was enough shopping to satisfy everyone. I tagged along with one solitary thought, is it almost time fir the game yet, as shopping and i are not the best of friends. Finally it was time to find a place to watch the game. We headed toward Villa Madaleina where we heard there were many people celebrating the world cup. As soon as we reached the vicinity a fire cracker exploded ... read more

The game was only at 5pm but we decided to arrive at the stadium as early as possible to avoid the overcrowded trains. There is a huge shopping centre across the road from Itaquera station, which is oposite the stadium. This is where we decided to have a meal before the game. Many spectators had the same idea, but at least we avoided the Majority of the crowd. We had a meal and then at 4pm headed toward the stadium for a 5pm kick off. The atmosphere was a jovial one an there were many neutrals on the crowd that added to the atmosphere. Most of the neutrals like us wanted Korea to win, but it was not to be. The game ended with Belguim the victors. On the way home we again decided ... read more

We decided to drive into the city to the fan park. Driving any day in São Paulo city is a challenge as with most big cities. The traffic is constant and the fastest everyone is able to travel is around 60km/h. This is good for me being a novice to driving a left hand drive. The atmosphere was quite subdued. Only beer and coke to drInk, so no wine for the ladies. 2 small eating places. Watched Greece vs Columbia. The graffiti on the buildings made the city look dated and dirty even though the streets are pretty clean. Made our way back to the hotel at about 2:30pm to get something to eat and to watch the England, Italy game. Found a great place to have burgers. Another first experience. You had to pick everything ... read more

WE WERE THERE! And it was fabulous! Even better than I had imagined it would be: football fans and tourists from all around the world partying, singing and dancing with the local Brazilian supporters, everyone making the best of this unique moment in the history of the sport: the opening ceremony and inaugural game of the World Cup in Brazil! And yes, my parents and I were in Sao Paulo to enjoy! I had been expecting this event in years so you can imagine how pumped up I was in the morning as we were getting ready, painting our faces and putting our soccer jerseys on! We were all supporting Brazil: my parents were wearing their bright yellow Romario and Bebeto’s jerseys (classic 1998 shirts!) with a yellow and green hat for my Dad and a ... read more

Brazil Well it's only been 24 hours and its already been a fun adventure! My flight out of Raleigh was delayed 2 hours, so I didn't get to adventure around Miami, but I met a friend, Taylor from New Mexico, that I can hit up in Rio. He also gave me the number of one of his good friends who'll be in Manaus while I am. Got in my first Boeing 777! Largest plane I've ever been on! And they had Jurassic Park as the in flight entertainment! I watched it, The LEGO Movie, Robo Cop, and part of The Grand Budapest Hotel. And I had the whole aisle to myself! I sat at the window for the take-off and landing, and let my long legs breath in the aisle the rest of the time. Got ... read more
