2/28/2010 - I'm Italian (sans German)


It is extremely hot here. In fact, it is unbearably hot here. I wake up and I am sweating, so I take a cold shower. Five minutes after my shower I am sweating again. I change clothes about three times a day, and when I am not at school, I am sitting in my underwear on my bed in front of a fan. I knew that it would be warm here, and I partly chose Brasil because of the climate, but little did I know that this is the hottest summer in Sao Paulo within the last 100 years. Ick.



Tonight we went to a Churrascaria which is essentially an all you can eat barbeque. To start out with you can get a little salad from the salad bar, but after that, the waiters constantly bombard you with huge slabs of delicious meat. They are relentless in their efforts to give you more and more, and only when you switch the sign to “Não Obrigado” (No Thank You) will they stop pressuring you. At the Churrascaria I met a couple of legit Italian guys, and it only reinforced my decision to only tell people that I am Italian when they inquire about my nationality (I leave out the German part…)
