Brazil day 5: these posts are gonna be rather inconsistent
Well this weekend I went camping with other people from AIESEC, the organisation I am volunteering for. It was a bit weird as everyone was speaking portuguese all the time though ccasionally the people who spoke some english told me what was going on/ what everyone was talking about. Anyway we played a lot of football and watched the Brazil vs Japan match and later had a bit of a party in which I got very confused by the drinking games. But yeah it was fun, and it rained quite a lot so it felt like home haha.

First day in brazil
Well it’s been interesting, I have now met many people some of whom know a bit of english but most of whom speak portuguese and some of whom are columbian and therefore speak spanish.Suffice to say I have never been anywhere where I feel less comfortable about my terrible language skills.However, I feel like I have already made some friends/acquaintances. I went out for sushi with some of them and then went for a cerveja (beer, one of the only words I know in portuguese) later and am now rather tipsy. All in all it has been an interesting and weird first day, who knows what tomorrow may bring,
I’m going to Brazil, better re-start blogging
Well seeing as these could be some of the most interesting/weirdest weeks in my life I may as well document then in some way… Woooo tumblr
