Post Party

Lasted 6 hours. I eventually did break into a group. Two londeners who have been travelling for 4 and a half months and a Brazillian english teacher. Very good conversation. Although I do believe I drank too much. Obviously this beer isn´t as powerful as the ones in England, as my first beer started at 3 pm. Yes I went drinkin with Lawbier again.
My female room mates are going to a club. When Sean gets here, we are definitely trying out the club. Unfortuantly, males pay more than females. Bollocks to that.

BBQ party

I really do miss my mates more than ever right now. All these travellers are in groups, and I´m pretty much the only one who is doing independent travel. This makes it really hard to break into a group, especially when they switch to topics I cant contribute to. I wish I had my mates with me, not these temporary travellers. But alas, social needs dictate my actions.

Shampoooo

As you may know, my shampoo went mysteriously missing. Well, it turned up again. Surprisingly, I found it in the shower where it initially disappeared. With half its content missing unfortuantly. But thats life. Life is like a bottle of shampoo. Dont look after it and you will lose half of it without knowing. Now thats philisophical.

I didnt see Flavia today, instead i went to buy a Peveza blanco with Lawbier, or as you gringos call it, white t-shirt.  I need one for the new year or I get beaten up or something. 22 flippin Reals though. Thats lyk, 9 quid. 9 FLIPPIN QUID. Bah.

Today will be a bbq night, hosted by the hostel. its part of the package. I post updates on this maybe later 2nyte.

Back track to 29/12

Hello minions. Im going to write this blog as if it was the end of the day of 29th.

I met this new dude called Matt. A room mate. Don´t worry people, there was no man lovin. He was great to talk to, as he is British, with Turkish origins. He gave me loads of tips, as he is a lone traveller too. Like me. A lone wolf. A lone awesome wolf. Unfortuantly, he was leaving today. So no more room mate for me. But a new room mate arrived. Lawbier, Brasillian dude with bad english skills. But he seems nice enough.

Today I decided to go explore Rio. Like a wolf. I bought a Ben 10 pen and pen c mandegia. Does it sound like a drink? I thought it did. But no. It was flippin fried buttered bread. I also went looking for an adaptor so I can charge my phone. No luck there. So back to bed. To sleep. Well not bed, those swinging cloth thingies that Fred Flintstone uses.

Heres an interesting story though. After lunch, I got lost. For about 2 hours. I only managed to find the way home when I met this dude called Flavia. He is a good friend now. Very friendly, and best of all, he speaks very good english. We talked about games, Rio, tips and english. Bought me a drink too. Fruity. I also went drinking with Lawbier, beers upstairs and then to the beach. Brasillian beer has nothing on British beer.

Oh, I forgot to mention. I got 3 new room mates, only met one though. A woman called Grace. Australlian. My other 2 new room mates are also of the female variety. Unfortuantly they aren´t as talkative as Grace. I guess its harder to befriend a group than it is to befriend one person. I also talked to a bunch of Australian dudes. Seriously, this hostel is becoming swarmed with Australian people. Drunk ones too. Oh, and someone stole my shampoo.

Arrival to Rio

Hated the flight. By Lordy, while the plane was descending, I had this freakin pain in my eye, and it was just growing out into the forehead. It felt like a vine growing PAIN.
Sides that, the flight was ok. Watched Buried, A team, The Killers and Tamara Drew. I didnt get to finish Tamara Drew though, as the flight talking people started talking. But seriously, what a slag! She slept with that old dude!

Arrived in Rio round 22 45, and by golly it was hot. My winter coat was not suitable for 23 degrees. The taxi ride was fairly easy to access, but I was literally tense throughout the ride. I was getting ready to pounce on the old dude if he tried to rob me. Gotta be prepared dudes. You never know.
