Living the Brazilian Dream

13-19 Feb 2012 – That’s (his) life

In the bus to Porto Alegre I met the famous soccer player “de Canto”. He invited me to his apartment at a beach close to Porto Alegre. No time for doubts, I called Cassio, my friend from Porto Alegre, where I actually would have stayed and went with “de Canto” to the beach.

Don’t believe everything I post, here is the real story behind this pictures.

13 Feb 2012 – One night in … another bus

From Foz do Iguazu to Porto Alegre I took the bus. Much cheaper than a flight bus much longer as well. In the bus I met Gerrit and his friend, both form Berlin. I knew Gerrit already as he made his PhD at the TU Berlin. Some years ago, I had a job interview as a research assistant for his research project. 14 hours later we arrived in Porto Alegre, I slept well and was surprised that we already arrived.

14-15 Feb 2012 – Some days with Cassio’s family

As I arrived, Cassio, who was my family’s guest for 6 weeks in Neckartenzlingen some years ago, waited for me. Picked me up and we drove to his family’s apartment. A really nice apartment with pool and palm trees. But the family was even better. I felt like home after a few minutes. Cassio and I went out with his friends at the evening and enjoyed the Brazilian nightlife.

16-19 Feb 2012 – Living the Brazilian Dream

Cassio told me that his friend invited us to join him for carnival to his apartment at the beach. I thought “great” but didn’t expect much. Just some nice days at the beach. But than we arrived at Thomas’ apartment and I couldn’t trust my eyes. Probably the best apartment I’ve ever seen in my life. 4 bedrooms, at least 3 bathrooms, an indoor grill and an amazing flat screen TV.
