Hello again!
Me and Diego wanted to fix the document in Sao Paulo, but Laurens boss and stepfather heard what we talked about and said if she sign she may go to prison cause she dont know us. Gracielle tried to make contact with another frend living in Sao Paulo, named Will, but we didnt make contact with him. We saw the Sao Paulo´s pride parad wich is the largest in the world, but we didnt see much more than the Paulista Avenue. We stayed in Sao Paulo one day more than planned, and was together with Gracielle on her paus this monay before we left to the metro and went back to the Rodoviario station and bought our ticket to Foz do Iguacu. The bus was less comfortable than the last one, but they did show a film on the television, Rambo, not interresting... We slept good in the bus and the next day we were in Foz do Iguacu in the state of Paraná. Diego was fashinated about the brown dead leaves on the ground looking like the leave on Canada´s flag, but I have seen them everyday in Sweden, so for me it was not a new. We found a place for 50 reais without breakfast, we took it. Later we took a two busses to the Iguacufalls, there we payd a ticket and went on a bus that took us to the falls. The falls were wonderful, and very cool to bad it started to rain and the rain suit was 7 reais, to expencive so we skipped it. We ate cup noodles in a kiosk and when the rain stopped we continued. We went out on a bridge to see the Devil´s Throught, it was so powerful view to stand there. We went on an elevator up were we could see the river from above, and also the flag of Argentina on the other side, it was cool for both me and Diego. Later we took the bus home to our room.
Today we left Foz do Iguacu to take a buss to Ciudad del Este. We left the bus at the Friendship Bridge, so I could have the stamp that I leave Brazil, then we walked across the bridge, and walked over the yellow line showing the border between Brazil and Paraguay. Diego felt sad for leaving his country, first time he go to another country, he felt saudade when he looked across the Parana river and saw his homeland there on the other side. Ciudad del Este is not specially beautiful, alot of commercial and people selling things, almost hunting us to make us buy. We found one place to sleep in for 80 000 guarani, its around 35 reais I think. Cause of inflation, the guarani is worht almost nothing. Richt now we are here on a cyber for 4000 guarani per hour. This was all for today, see you again, bye!

In the largest city of the Southern Hemisphere
Boa tarde!
Here Im writing again, this time in São Paulo, the largest city in Brazil and with the 15 million people living here its the largest city of the southern hemisphere. At the station in Rio de Janeiro we could hire a bathroom to take a shower, it was wonderful to feel fresh again. At midnight we took the bus, it was better standard with filts and pillows, one guaraná and some cookies to eat. I slept all the six hours the trip was and woke up before six o clock of morning when we arrived in the station of São Paulo. We didnt realize we were there until the driver told us the trip was over, the time went so fast. We waited in the station till the sunrise, then we took the metro to the downtown. If you only visit São Paulo here, you could think that Brazil is a developed country, or how to say, according to what I have seen this far it seems to ahve a very high standard, big avenues and big walking streets beside. The metro is bigger and have more lines. The São Paulo is much different from the other brazilian cities I have been in, its a bit colder in the air, and so are the people, they prefere to avoid each other, in the metro for exemple I could see all people looked out into nothing avoiding each other, as in London, compared to Rio de Janeiro and Recife were they can talk and look at each other. We visited a beautiful park with alot of trees giving alot of shadow, but also many big spiders in the trees. We visited the MASP, a museum, we were outside it were they had commercial about the new film of "Narnia", we could play chess there. Much later we called Gracielle, she should meet us two o´clock, so we walked around and waited for her.
We met her two o´clock told about the document we must fix, then we went to were her friend Laurén worked and asked if she wanted to sign too, we needed two people. Laurén accepted it. We ate açai were Gracielle worked and headed to this expencive cyber for 4 reais each hour. This was all this far, and Im ready to explore São Paulo!

On our way to São Paulo
Yesterday we almost didnt do anything, we stayed here in Baixada Fluminense, ate some ice cream in the store strait across the street and used the internet café. We tried to get contact with Gracielle so we could inform her we will come, but without any progress almost.
Nevis act odd and seem like she wanna get rid of us, asking odd and respectless questions to Diêgo and telling the room we are in is not organizated, just cause our things is in chaos INSIDE my bag. I can tell the room is very organized exept this, but my bag is still my bag.
Today we will leave Rio de Janeiro at midnight and will later arrive in São Paulo at six of morning tomorrow. Its the greatest city of the southern hemisphere.
Now when we arrived here in the internet café, Diêgo saw he got a mail from one of Gracielle´s friends telling us her number, so we will call her when we leave here.
We will also get the english translated version of the contract today, I wanna eat at Colombo again before we leave, but the food should be street food to keep good economy, McDonald´s and Bob´s everyday is not good for the wallet. And I really wish I could take a shower and wash my hair, we didnt have time for this at morning cause Nevis for some reason had to leave the apartment, so we had to hurry, can tell I am a bit annoyed cause of this. Well well, Im exited now cause today we continue the trip southwards, see you again, bye!

Crazy Copacabana
Hello again!
Rio de Janeiro is a good city, I love the size and the skyscrapers, even if the metro is very small for being in such a big city, I think its around the same size as the one in Stockholm, according to the maps I have seen of it. In a city like Stockholm, with 1 million people it is okay, but Rio de Janeiro have around 11 million people, then its very small and sometimes you are forced to take a bus to reach your destination. Nevis´s home were we live is in a place called Baixada Fluminense, that is far from the center, here is no metro only a train that closes early specially at sundays. Exept for these things Rio is a really good city. We have been in the center and eating at Colombo, its wonderfully cosy, for being here in Brazil its a bit expencive, but two persons here is just a bit more expensive than for two people in the cafeteria in Gislaved. We have also visited Saraiva, the bookshop that also exist in Shopping Recife. We have visited the catedral and the Lapa, a bridge for trains. Yesterday we went to Copacabana beach and walked around there, ate at Bob´s. At the way to the metro I suddenly felt something wet come on my shoe, I thought someone dropped something at me cause someone was almost behind me, but I didnt think about it. I looked at my foot and saw a yellow slimy, cold thing, around me was alot of birds, was it dove poop? No, its white and hot, not yellow and cold, but maybe the poop of the brazilian doves is different, what do I know? I wanted to go to the kiosk and take paper to get rid of it, but suddenly someone wanted to help me to take it off. Well, he had paper to take it off, so I wanted to take the paper, but suddenly he started to clean my shoe and my feet. "No, no it is okay I can do it", I told him, "Dont worry, I fix this... ah, bird poopie you know..." I was confused and asked Diêgo if I should go away, but he didnt say anything, well, at least I didnt recognize it, another man came and wanted to help, took off my shoes and let me sit on a chair. I wanted to go away, waiting for Diêgo to do something, but when the man wanted to clean my other foot I left. Then he said it cost 50 reais, we got a chock, 50 reais for this??? Later he said 5 reais, but we didnt wanna pay for this, so we ran away. The man followed us, we stayed with some old ladies asking the way to the metro, the man came and told in the open to Diêgo that he wanna kill him and tear is face apart and alot of horrible things. The man went away and came back asking 2 reais, later we would get rid off him, so he got his 2 reais and left us alone. Later we left Copacabana, alot of crazy people there. We went to downtown and ate at Colombo before heading home, the cookies at Colombo is so beautiful and delicious! Well, today we will go to Petrópolis to see the crown jewels of the Brazilian Empire, from the monarchy. Bye!

Cidade Maravilhosa
Hello again! Im writing from a cyber in the metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro. We left Recife at 3´ o clock at wednesday at the 13:th of may. The trip was a real hell I can tell, two and a half day in a bus. We passed by the states of Alagoas, were we ate the first time, Sergipe (when I was sleeping, was to tired to go out from the bus when I woke up for a few minutes), Bahia were we spent the all thursday day, and Minas Gerais at the night. At the stops in Minas Gerais we were freezing, and smoke came out froum our mouths when we were breaving, I couldnt imagine it could be cold in Brazil, but now I see that I was wrong, I didnt see anyone exept myself in shorts and t-shirt. At the friday morning we entered the state of Rio de Janeiro, almost immidetly the state show us the beauty it had to offer, wonderful mountains, cliffs reaching to the sky, clouds around us, we were up in the heaven it looked like. The tallest mountain of them all was the Dedo de Deus, a skinny spike cliff, far taller than the other cliffs. Soon the wild mountaineous landscape planned out and we came closer to the city of Rio de Janeiro, passing by the favela. It was alot of traffic so it took a long time for us just to come to the bus terminal. When we arrived we had to wait a long time for Nevis´s sister to come and pick us up.
The first day we spent at Nevis and her sister´s home.
At saturday we went to the downtown were we took the train up to Corcovado to see the Cristo Redentor. It was very cloudy wich made it almost impossible to see the city down below, but sometimes we could see it, but the Sugar Loaf were impossible to see. It was a very special feeling to see such a fameous landmark in reality, and the Cristo Redentor is one of the world´s new seven wonders, wick make it the first wonder I see, only six left.
When we came down again I bought a souvenir, an own statue in miniature of course, later we wanted to go to Colombo, the fameous cafeteria in Rio. When we arrived it was already closed cause it was late, we ate at McDonald´s and returned home.
Yesterday we visited the Copacabana Beach and the Sugar Loaf. Diêgo was very scared for taking the "line-car" up to the top, but well inside he was busy by taking wonderful photos of the view. At the top we really had a WONDERFUL view over the city, we could see Corcovado of course, Copacabana and Ipanema and the great Niteroi Bridge and the modern museum in Niteroi. At the top of the Sugar Loaf (or Pão de Açucar in portuguese) there also was a small beautiful forest with small, cute monkeys! They jumped and climbed like squirrels in the trees. We stayed at the Sugar Loaf till sunset and didnt go back down until it was dark.
Today we visited the Swedish General Consulate to ask for some information. Our contract have to be translated to english, wich will be expencive, and we also have to fix an expencive document showing we are single and also translate that shit and stamp it, as we have to do with the contract. I really hate all this shit now, only stupid fucking papers we always have to fix and waste money for, it never comes to an end, Ill be SO HAPPY the day the last shit-document is fixed, gaaah I hate this! We went to Colombo today and ate some delicious cakes, we walked around in the city till sunset and now we are here. Lets see what happens tomorrow. I can tell you all that I really love Rio de Janeiro, it really is the Cidade Maravilhosa!

Soon leaving Recife...
I am right now in the ending time of my life in Recife, and me and Diêgo have fixed the last things we need before heading to Rio de Janeiro.
At friday we went to Boa Viagem in hope to talk to the swedish consul, but as usual we wasnt there, so we took a walk at the beach, and saw Hotel Tivoli again, the very first place in Recife I slept in. The hotel looked so small, more small than I remembered it. It was cosy to the the street again were we trook our first walk, the time when the heat almost killed me, then I was yet not used to the pernambucan climate.
Taht evening we hired some films to look at in the evening, one anime film from Japan I dont remember the name from, "Beowulf" and a brazilian film "Olga" taking place in the Second World War.
At the weekend we didnt do anything special, nothing at all but visiting the cyber café and resting. Yesterday we went to the airport to get Diêgo´s new passport, the old one had a production error. Later we went to the federal police to get a document there, it was raining alot. I had shorts but we thought I could enter the federal police just to not get wet, I already knew they wouldnt let me in, what could I ever expect in a country like this where not even human rights are respected anywhere. But Diêgo wanted me to go in, I cant stand outside in weather like this. Well, I was right, after all I know this place, and the police here is known for being corrputed, fascists and criminals, as if they would let me stand under a roof? For sure not, the guard stoped me and I had to wait outside, Diêgo fighted a bit but I went outside, its meaningless to fight the police. At my way out I said so the police could hear me "I hate Brazil!" in portuguese, well, I do hate this country. In the guard hut I could see the guard looking out from his window looking at me under a palm, and laughed at me, I ignored it and looked away, I didnt feel for being angry at that moment.
Diêgo talked to the woman working with the documents inside, and she agree, the polices here are monsters. The rule that you cant walk in shorts doesnt make sense, women can walk naked if they feel for it, without getting stopped, the polices do as they want and they just enjoy seeing almost naked women. It is so fake, my god I am tired of this fucked up country, Brazil is really discusting, everyhing is just to use your power as much as you can just to feel personal pleasure, and show as little respect to other people why using them and stealing from them till max. Brazil is really a hell, thank god I am not a citizen in this stinking mess!
About the document Diêgo went to get had an error and should be fixed till the next day, so today we went back there, I waited outside (cause of my "naked" outfit) while Diêgo get it. We copied everything we needed to have copys on and went to the House of Documents to stamp the shit before heading to McDonald´s in Shopping Boa Vista to drink milk-shake and later go home. Finally everything about documents is fixed, and tomorrow we leave Recife and go to what they say is the world´s most beautiful city, Rio de Janeiro, I am exited and I hope it really is that beautiful as everyone say. This was all for today, good evening to you!

Crystal Tower
Me and Diêgo have been living at his grandmother and aunts home this time we been in Recife. The contract is ready, just have to be translated to english and signed by the lawyer, Êlyza´s husbands father who at the moment is in Curitiba. He will sign it when he is in Recife and later they will send copys to Rio de Janeiro.
Yesterday me and Diêgo went to Marco Zero and took the boat over to the Crystal Tower that for me is the symbol of Recife. We took alot of photos there and planned to go to the lighthouse far away, but went back half way cause of the wild waves at the other side that easily could throw us over in the water.
Later we went back to the boat and the man took us back to Marco Zero. We ate at Giraffas in Shopping Boa Vista before taking the bus back home.

Home Sweet Recife
At thursday me and Diêgo left São Luís and made a 24 hours long buss trip back to Recife. We wont go to Guyana cause its to expencive to come back, so we will head for Foz de Iguaçu after Rio de Janeiro. We were back in the bus terminal aat three o clock at afternoon on friday, took the metro to downtown and went to the federal police to fix a document for Diêgo. As always we had to wait outside. It felt good to be back in Recife, it is like returning to your hometown, but in the other hand I didnt feel so happy about it, cause I knew we once again have to fight the brazilian bureucracy again. Later we went to the airport to fix his passport, its all destroyed outside and the gold text is almost gone. They didnt wanna fix it first, they were really rude (as all opther polices in this country) but after they called the center in Brasília and after this they had to change it, so we will be back at monday. We ate at Bob´s before leavning the airport, we slept at Diêgo´s grandmother´s home.
Yesterday we went to Livraria Cultura and bought a amap of Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Chile and also a book about Sweden for Diêgo. At yesterday evening we ate at Giraffas in Shopping Boa Vista again.
Today we have been visiting Alessandra before coming here and later today we will go to Oficina Brennand, the castle of Fransisco Brannand. This was all for today, bye!

Lençois Maranhenses
Hello! Me and Diêgo went to the national Park of Lençóis Maranhenses at thursday. We woke up four at morning and waited for the tourist bus. The trip to the park took 3 hours, and when we finally arrived in the small city outside we went on the safari cars that took us through a swamp - like places with alot of palm trees. The path was filled with water sometimes and when the car passed through the water was flying around us and we had to hold on tight on the seats to not fall out, but it was funny. Later we came to see the white sand dunes in the horizon, and the car arrived. We left the car, me and Diêgo run up at the closest sand dune and at the top we had a wonderful enchanted view over the big, white desert landscape. It was a surrealistic view, cause in a desert like this you dont expect to see crystal clear blue - green water, then it was the silence, not a sound not even from the wind we could hear. It was almost like being in one of Dalí´s paintings. We run down to one of the clear lagoons and took a bath, the water was perfect, and to dive in the water with the swim glasses was good, it was so clear! Almost anywhere in the lagoons we visited we could see slimy, yellow transparant plants foating in the water, but they were beautiful, but not fun to approach.
After some hours we left Lençois Maranhenses and head back to the village to eat dinner before we took the long trip back to São Luís. I can tell that this place is the most beautiful place I ever have seen, I recomend people to go here if they head by São Luís or anywhere in Maranhão.
This was all for today, bye!
