Hello from sao paolo

So the last few days ive been very slack with the blogging and generally contacting people.

I left Santa catrina and all of the lovely people i met and got a bus to Curitiba - nice simple eauropen city, clean tidy, big shopping malls - standard. Except the market, they got this great food market with stalls from foods all over the globe.
After buying various types of meat on a stick (brazillian delicasy) we went to this stall and had an amazonian broth in a wooden bowl. It had this slimy white goo in the bottom, as well as spinachesque leaves and other green stuff.
When you sip the white goo, seconds after entering you mouch - it comes alive (your mouth, not the goo) and you get the most incredible sensation like nothing i havexperienced. It doesnt taste spicy, or really taste at all - you simply tingle for minutes, with every mouthful enhancing the tingle.

So after this we got a train (very scenic will upload photos soon - but too scared to now coz in an internet cafe in downtown sao p and i´m pussy), after train we got a bus, then a boat and finally reached a stunning little island called Ilha do Mel.
It was worth all the travelling. It has crunchy sand beaches, warm clear sea, lovely people (except some of the kids - like the little fuck who spat at me after i ate dinner in his parents restaurant) and beautiful jungle covering it.
I spaent the days on the beach or exploring and the nights having bbq under the stars or playing dominoes with the locals. I played this old guy (who blatently plays it on a daily) and whacked him 10 games to 5 (well 10-7 according to him - but he was fabricatin some of his wins). I felt really shitty afterwards coz he seemed qy]uite upset that a teenage gringo came and beat him on his own turf.

running out of time on internet ahhhhhh.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
