After 24 hours of traveling, one missed flight, 3 snoring traveling neighbors, one lost piece of luggage, and with the help of two very kind Brazilian women, I made it to Brasilia! Some great things about Brazil so far:
1. they don't make you take your shoes off when you go through security... this was extra exciting because I realized that I put on 2 different socks when I left Chicago on Thursday morning.
2. Homemade ice cream is a normal dessert to have daily after dinner.
3. Its 72 degrees right now, and it's 10pm.
Some no so great things about Brazil:
1. Apparently someone on the airport staff is a fan of ultra touristy- american flag- genuine leather- FANNY PACKS. One of my bags got lost going from new York to Rio. When it was dropped off this evening, it was clearly "searched" and a few things, including the fanny-pack,(which I got as a gift to make sure everyone here knew I was from the US) were missing. :(
2. For some reason, when I go on the internet here, my computer automatically thinks I speak portuguese, so every website I go to is a mini lesson in the portuguese language.
haha i guess Brazilians know a good item when they see one!
ReplyDeleteSecurity knew you must be an american from chicago if you have 2 different socks on. Just change the language on the computer to English...you can do that in the Control Panel section for (Regional & Language)Options.
ReplyDeleteAh hah! Thanks for the help! I guess google also recognizes where you are so I had to go in and change everything back to US settings.

DeleteI can't believe they searched your luggage.
