That's really unbelievable!!! My Brazilian friend is coming to Poland;):) And I'm just over the moon!!!

Muska!!! Você vai se apaixonar pelo meu país!!!!

...some time later

It has been almost 3 months since I came back home... My stay in Brazil and all the things that happened there are the thing of the past now....

But...

I'm happy I went there....I'm glad I met wonderful people who turned into great friends with whom I'm in touch now... It's so nice to get an email from a friend who is far away...but always remembers about you..and about the things we shared.

I still have the pictures which will always remind me of the moments I spend with some people... There are thousands of stories behind those pictures..... merry things and sad things...because life writes different stories...

I guess I've learnt much ... about life...about myself...about people...I'm much richer now..if you know what I mean... I've learnt it's always worth following your dreams because when they come true the feeling inside is inesquecível ;) I've learnt there are good people and bad people..I've learnt one needs to be strong no matter what happens...and I've learnt that the sun shines for everyone...in a very special way:):)

Now I'm back in Poland .... living my life....pursuing my other dreams....

At the airport we didn't say goodbye ....we just said ''see you one day.." because I know one day I'll see those amazing friends of mine again.....em qualquer lugar... quem sabe?..nunca se sabe..:)

GUYS, THANKS FOR SHARING THAT ADVENTURE WITH ME....YOU ALL KNOW HOW SPECIAL YOU ARE FOR ME.... and THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP....

SEE YOU.....ONE DAY

beijos

my last day in Brazil/ostatni dzień w Brazylii

To było w grudniu, przed Bożym Narodzeniem. Moje ostatnie chwile w Brazylii... naprawde niezapomniane... lancz z przyjaciółmi...Chiara, Pedro Ivo, Cynthia i Muska. To oni pojechali ze mną na lotnisko... Dzięki Wam ten dzień był niesamowity...Dziękuję wam za to bardzo.. szkoda, że Lindsey nie mogła tam być... pożegnałam się z nią wczesniej...

It was in December just before Christmas. My last moments in Brazil...really unforgettable moments..lunch with friends..Chiara, Pedro Ivo, Cynthia and Muska. They went to see me off at the airport...and thanks to you guys that day was amazing...Thanks a lot guys.. I wish Lindsey had been there... but we said goodbye earlier..

going home

To niesamowite, ale dzis jest 18 grudzien, a to znaczy, ze jutro wracam do domu. te 6 miesiecy minelo tak szybko...
Wciaz pamietam jak ladawalam na lotnisku Gaurulhos w Sao Paulo i kiedy zobaczylam te wszystkie swiatla wielkiego miasta zaczelam myslec jak to bedzie podczas tych 6 miesiecy, jaka bedzie moja praktyka, ilu prawdziwych przyjaciol poznam, ile nowych rzeczy sie naucze..i jutro w samolocie wszystko to przeanalizuje...

It's really amazing , but today is 18th December and I'm going home tomorrow. Those six months passed so quickly...
I still remeber when I was landing in Gaurulhos, São Paulo, and when I saw the lights of this big city I started thinking how it would be here during those 6 months, how my traineeship would be like, how many real friends I would make, how many new things I would learn.... and tomorrow I'll be on the plane analyzing my stay here...

Rio...symbole miasta

i my na wzgorzu Corcovado - Daniel i Caio(z flaga), Rodrigo, Lucy, Asia, Natalia:), Cato, Loren, Nana, Nic, Kasia, ja i Nele.

Corcovado - figura Chrystusa-symbol Rio, Chrystus obejmujacy swiat

Pão de Açucar / Glowa cukru-symbol Rio

Rio/part 1 (Rio/czesc 1)

Wyprawa do Rio byla naprawde niesamowita!!! @Rio (Aiesec Rio) spisal sie na medal!(Rodrigo - gratulacje!!)

A wiec bylo to tak....

Sobota

Wraz z Cynthia dotarlysmy do Rio w sobote kolo 11.30. Rodrigo odebral nas spod centrum handlowego Rio Sul i pojechalismy do domu Elisy. Tam poznalysmy spragninych Rio, czyli Nele(Belgia/Brasilia), Nic (Szwecja/Campinas), Magali(Peru/Campinas), Nana (Norwegia/Sao Paulo), Lucy(Australia/Sao Paulo), Loren (USA/Rio), Nadia(Kolumbia/Rio), Kasia(Polska/Rio-CEED), Asia(Polska/Rio-CEED) i oczywiscie ludziska z @ Rio czyli Rodrigo(organizator calej szalonej wyprawy), Natalie(przesympatyczna Brazylijke, u ktorej Cynthia i ja sie zatrzymalysmy), Caio, Daniel, Bernardo i Elisa.
I tak to sie zaczelo...:) Z domu Elisy pojechalismy do dzielnicy Santa Teresa(stara, zabytkowa dzielnica , artysci..)Tam tez zjedlismy lunch. Bylo smacznie choc troche drogo.;) Nie uwierzycie, ale nie udalo nam sie zobaczyc calej dzielnicy, bo zaczelo padac. Nigdy bym nie uwierzyla , ze w Rio pada gdybym nie zobaczyla tego na wlasne oczy...Zawsze myslalam, ze Rio to 'krolestwo slonca'. W zwiazku z deszczem wybralismy sie do muzeum (Chacara do Ceu i Centro Cultural do Banco do Brazil). Nastepnie centrum miasta, Cinelandia i teatr glowny.Wieczorem odwiedzilismy Estacao Primeira de Mangueira, czyli... najslawniejsza szkole samby w Rio de Janeiro:). Mozna bylo zobaczyc i poczuc, ze ci ludzie naprawde zyja samba:) A tak przy okazji, samba to chyba jeden z najtrudniejszych tancow...Nawet niektorzy cariocas(czyt. osoba urodzona, wychowana i mieszkajaca w Rio) nie potrafia 'sambar' (tanczyc samby).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The trip to Rio was really amazing!!! @Rio(Aiesec Rio) really did a great job!!! Rodrigo -congratulations!!!

Here's the story...

Saturday

Cynthia and I arrived in Rio at 11.30. Rodrigo picked us up from the shopping mall Rio Sul and we went to Elisa's place. And there we met all those dying to get to know Rio...Nele (Belgium/Brasila), Nic(Sweden/Campinas), Magali (Peru/Campinas), Nana(Norway/Sao Paulo), Lucy(Australia/Sao Paulo), Loren( USA/Rio), Nadia(Colombia/Rio), Kasia(Poland/Rio-CEED), Asia(Poland/Rio-CEED) and of course the guys from @Rio - Rodrigo-the one who organized that crazy trip, Natalia-very very nice Brazilian girl (Cynthia and I stayed at her place), Caio, Daniel, Bernardo and Elisa.
and that's the way it started.. We left Elisa's place to visit Santa Teresa neighbourhood(old one where there are many artists). We had lunch there..It was very tasty but also a bit pricey;) You won't believe that but unfortunately we didn't manage to see the whole place because it started to rain. I would never believe it can rain in Rio if I hadn't seen it myself.. I've always thought that Rio is ' the kingdom of the sun'. Since it was raining we went to visit a museum( Chacara do Ceu and Cantro Cultural do Banco do Brazil), then the city centre Cinelandia and Teatro Municipal. At night we went to Estacao Primeira de Mangueira ....you know what that is? the most famous samba school in Rio de Janeiro!!! You could just see and feel that samba is those people's life. By the way, I think it's one of the most difficult dances ever...even some cariocas(people born, brought up and living in Rio) don't know how to
'sambar' (dance samba).
