Brazil: Sao Paulo pt.8. Festival do Japão (1)

Allright! Today me and my lovely cousin are going to another convention here in Sao Paulo.

It’s a Japanese festival. Since the Japanese community is quite huge here in Brazil they make this festival to show different aspects of the Japanese culture, from food to dance to pop culture.  I know that they will have a big amount of food stands to try out different dishes, and I’m really looking forward to try out some different dishes.

Brazil: Sao Paulo pt.7. Anime Friends

Welcome!

Today we were going to a Anime convention here in Sao Paulo. Nathy is not much into that and she was really tired from all the walking around yesterday, so she was going to spend time with our roommates from the hostel (like I said, really nice peeps).

Brazil: Sao Paulo pt.6. Anais

Nathy don't want pictures taken this early in the morning. Bah!

Sweet baby Jesus! After a good breackfast at the Hostel and a good chat with the people that were staying at the hostel, (Good peeps, we'll talk more about them later) we were going to meet with my dear cousin Anais that had arrived from Belem to visit me and some friends of hers at the University of SP. I have totally missed her. I think we share a special family link with each other. Last time I saw her was in Belem a couple of years ago and had a kick ass time! And now we are going to meet again and have tons of fun!

Brazil: Sao Paulo pt.5. Pamplona

-Oh man, we forgot to book for another night and the hostel is totally packed the next couple of days. What to do, what to do…. Well, the only thing is to find another hostel asap.

Brazil: Sao Paulo pt.4. Iberapuera

We're gonna get chubby with all that chocolate!

Oooh… It’s my turn to book another day at this hostel. The only dumb thing is that we had to change rooms because the beds we had are already booked, blæh…

Well, can’t argue that much, the bed I got now is a bit better than the last one.

Brazil: Sao Paulo pt.2

Av.Paulista

Aww…. Good sleep, but a bit noisy with so many in the same room. Can’t even remember if we had breakfast today, bah. No worries, we can eat out even though we shouldn’t since the prices here in Brazil are way more expensive than what we experienced in Bolivia. Way more expensive. So we should be more mindful with our expenses.

Brazil: Sao Paulo pt.1

Our next stop on this awesome adventure of ours was Sao Paulo. I was looking forward to getting there since my cousin Anais was going to visit some friends at the university there in less than a week. That way we could hook up and spend some time in the city. Not only that, Sao Paulo is well known for having one of the biggest metropolitan areas in South America. That meant that I would totally find stuff that had eluded me these past months.

Argentina-Brazil: Foz de Iguacu

Still in Argentina, but today we are going back to Foz de Iguacu to pack our bags so we could get going to Sao Paulo. Woohoo!

Argentina: Puerto de Iguazu

Parque Nacional de Iguazu.

Good day to ya’all!

Today we are on our way to look at the waterfalls of Iguazu from the Argentinean side of the border. Not gonna say a lot here, the pics will talk for themselves. Enjoy.

Brazil-Argentina: Puerto De Iguazu

                          

                            

                                                    (Picture taken from this link)                  

It is time to cross some new borders. And next border is Puerto de Iguazu in Argentina. We had already decided that it was a good idea to stay a couple of days in Argentina so we could visit the falls of Iguaçu from the Argentinean side. So, we packed lightly and left our main backpacks at the hostel with Boris. It took us about 30-40 min. to cross the border from where we were in Brazil over to Argentina, that is just awesome.

Brazil-Paraguay-Brazil: Ciudad del Este

Hello! 

Like I said in the last post, we just chilled and had some drinks at the hotel. But me and Nathy were getting anxious to get going over the border to Ciudad del Este over in Paraguay. So, our new friend Boris took one day off from work to accompany us over to Paraguay as a guide of course.

Brazil: Foz de Iguazu pt.3 "100th Edition"

My good friends and fine and handsome readers! 

Today is the 100th "post" of this fine blog of mine. So I thank you all for having stayed with me for so long and sorry for being so friggin' slow at times. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you all for reading my blog and all the support and feedback I've got since i started traveling and writing.

Let's hope I can make 100 more, that would've been AWESOME!

Brazil: Foz de Iguazu pt.2

I had to take at least 5 shots before Nathy 

was somewhat pleased with the pic :b 

Allright! Today we are going to see the waterfall here in Foz.

We took the bus, and bought the ticket to the park. Can’t recall how much we paid for the ticket, but it was more than regular because we were foreigners. For Brazilian and for some MercoSur countries the entrance fees are way lower. Blæh….

Brazil: Foz de Iguazu pt.1

Foz De Iguazu!

Nathy with the three flags :)

Well, today was going to be our last day here in Bonito, but we were going to Foz De Iguazu and the 3 frontiers. We have heard a lot about the waterfalls of Foz and Nathy really wanted to go there. To tell you guys the truth I didn’t even knew there was such a place before Nathy started to rant about that we should go there. And it seemed that whenever we met new people they totally told us to go there. 

Sorry, I'm a bit slow :D

NEWS-NEWS-NEWS-NEWS

Hello good people of the world and my dear lovely friends back home!

I’m writing now after so long to apology for the lack of posts these past months. I have been busy reconstructing my current life on this reality of ours. Meaning that a lot of things have passed, both somewhat good and some really good. I have been busy trying to juggle between friends and family and at the same time be content and at ease with myself. I have been in need of some stability and some kind of a super- plan were I can combine love, travel, family, work and hobby into perfect harmony, where I can thrive and try to reach perfection on the things I love to do. (I’m slowly getting there) As you all know one of the things I love most in life is life itself and I’m so happy to be part of this wonderful world. Amazing things happen every day…You just have to open your eyes and see them!

Anyway, I just wanted to give y’all a heads up that I’m alive and kicking and that I will make time to continue posting. 
Cool, awesome things have happened and I’m itching to share those nuggets of information with y’all

Brazil: Bonito pt.4, Rio da Prata!

Today we totally forgot about the time. We sprinted up from bed and had about 20 minutes to get ready for today’s excursion. Breakfast was already served and we only had time to grab some fruit and a piece of bread before the tour driver came calling. He was going to pick us up and drive us to this awesome place in bonito…. Rio da Prata!

Brazil: Bonito pt.3

The next morning the tourist offices were open and so we decided to check out what we could do on this town.

Brazil: Bonito pt.2

The next day, we didn’t do a lot. The highlight of the day was to walk on the highway towards the “Balneario Municipal” Some kind of bath out in the open.  We heard that we could swim with some fishes and decided to take a look.

Brazil: Bonito pt.1

Sponge Bob in my bed!

The next day we decided to go to Bonito. A lot of different people had recommended this particular place. And the Brazilians are a very persuasive people. So, we decided to go.
