I can tell you that the camera now is fixed. The next day we went to a place in the center were they fixed it. It is working like before again, exept the cover is a bit more difficult to open and close. Im really scared to destroy it again, but I have a garantee of three months, so in case the camera will brake again its just to go back to Buenos Aires and fix it.
Today we took the bus to the town district of Boca, it is a place with very colourful houses with alot of poor people. The district is well known and a tourist spot in Buenos Aires. In the district we saw alot of blue and yellow coloured flags of the football team of Boca. There is a story why they have theese colours. The team could not agree about what colour their suit should have, so they desided that they should take the colours of the flag at the first ship that arrives in the harbour. However, the first ship that came was from Sweden, so they took the blue and the yellow colour of the swedish flag and made it to their team´s flag.
We were walking around and looking at the place, there was alot of restaurants there and alot of people making noise and asking us to go to their restaurant. The question came up in my mind, that what place was worst when it come to "attack" possible customers, Ciudad del Este or Boca?
After some hours when the time came closer to six o´clock we took the bus back to center were we ate. Later we were talking about the "imperial family of Brazil", apperently the former royal family of Brazil still exist, and still have some kind of power working in Brazil, for exemple they can just pop in to the champer as they want without votes, and they win money to have their precious royal name Braganca, wich I think is undemocratic and very discusting. I felt that Brazil is a fake republic and also fake democracy, either you are a republic or a monarchy, u cant have both cause then it is fake, and the fact that most people in Brazil doesnt have any idea they have an "imperial family" with power who win money (only in Petrópolis municipality and thank god for that) is really ot acceptable. And the year 1988 there was elections to replace the monarchy, the population was smart enough to vote no, to be a republic is for me a pride, all countries should be republics cause monarchy is something ancient and primitive. My god I wish Sweden was a republic, so many countries have managed to get rid of monarchy rule, and then there is those stupid nations that want to have it back (Portugal now for exemple).
The only thing that is more sad than being a monarchy state is to WANNA be a monarchy state. People dont know what they think about, they only see the cute fairy tale and glamoreous thing about having a king and/or a queen. But what brazil have is discustig, give money to a family like that, its not respect for history or tradition, it is pure corruption.
This was a little taste of my opinions, and I have alot more when it comes to things like this. This was all for todays blog, tomorrow we hopefully take a ferry to Uruguay, bye!
