Well this is the official and first of my blogs from Brazil !!!! :) I am in Rio!

Fact: I love Brazil, the language and the FOOD!

 

My first taste of Brazillian food was amazing, the  flavouring they put in there food is absolutely delicious no matter what restaurant i go to big or small, more higher class looking or a simple cafe, I think from my experience in eatuing everyday foods Brazil is in another class compared to England.

My preconceptions and knowledge of Brazil from films, books, TV and word of mouth has been altered dramatically, From the get go Brazil was so different to England, From the architetural differences to the food and behaviour. To me Brazil has already shown me how more open and friendly people are, when I look back at my life in England. Everything is very Vibrant, they are alot of amazing Graffitti artwork everywhere which make the whole area around it seem even more amazing (cant stop snapping them with my camera).From the get go me and  the 29 other fellows have instantly clicked (I think they feel the same) and I already believe we will be forever friends :D, The fellowship has only just kicked of oflearnign portuguese at Cultura Inglesa and I am throughly enjoying it! te amo Portuguese!

I have been enjoying the new experiences ijn Brazil, We have visted the Affro reggae Project, it was built using the goverments money to help out the surrounding favela which was made famous  in a way you would not waqnt. One of the sponsors is Natura and there dedication to help and support all the different projects has shown me a different side to gloabl companies. They are not all trying to Maximise as much profit as possible and thats it, I feel overjoyed that big companies are willing to part from  there large profits and give back to the community and change many lives for the better, and not just for publicity and trying to make there company have a better reputation. From the long term sponsor and dedication to actively know about the Afro Reggae project at all times I feel my visit to Natura for 2 weeks will be amazing and I hope I get to see alot more og the wonderful thigns they do got gor the community.

I cant wait to experience much much more and I am starting to see just how fast Globalisation in Brazil is.

I hope that through my eyes and blogging attempts, you reading this blog can help you see a little bit of Brazil and be just as excited as I am everyday!

till the next time Tchau! :)
