First Day

My first day in Brazil was amazing. Once I got home from the airport, Mae showed me around the house and I got to put my stuff away in my room. My room is so cute btw. I have a huuuge closet and mirror, it's crazy. The first food I tried was pao de queijo (cheese bread) and oh my good lord that was so good. (this ain't no ordinary bread). I also tried guarana which is a soda drink. I don't usually drink pop but guarana is muito bom! I also had suco de abacaxi (pineapple juice) and holy that was amazing. For lunch we had arroz e frango com feijao e salada (rice and chicken with beans and salad). Foi muito bom! (it was so good). In Brazil, lunch is the biggest meal of the day and family come over to eat with you. Clarice (my host sister) finally got home from school so I got to meet her. We sat down and had a light dinner that consisted of soo many types of bread! My goodness the bread is amazing here. I also tried Brazilian coffee which so very yummy as well. While we were eating, Clarice asked me if I wanted to go to the club with her and Nina tonight. Obviously I said yes so we all got dressed up and went out. One thing I have to point out about the clothes for going out.. if you're wearing a "see-through" shirt it is not even necessary to wear a shirt under it apparently. So if your bra is showing under your shirt it's all good.

Belo Horizonte at night is amazing to look at; I honestly could've drove around all night. When we got to the club we waited in line then finally got in. There were so many lights it was so cool. After a little while we started dancing. That was my favourite part.

I must say... whatever you hear about the guys in Brazil being really straight forward and persistent is completely true. I literally had to jerk my hand away from some guy who kept pulling it. He even got his friend to ask me to kiss him because I rejected him to his face. Clarice and I were dancing just the two of us when next thing you know, some guy grabs my hair and starts stroking it. We quickly departed from that area as well. This happened a few times actually. But overall it was a great night!
My feet are hurting soo bad though! I wore high heels like the Brazilians do and now I'm laying in bed with incredibly sore feet from just one night. I really don't know how they do it!

Anyways I would say my first day was quite the experience :)
