chorrinho a pupek Latinske Ameriky ~~ chorrinho and the bellybutton of Latin America

Sampa ma bezva kulturni centru, SESC. ve stredu tam byva v kavarnicce ve 14. patre ziva hudba, chorrinho, coz je hudba typicka pro Sao Paulo, je to predchudce samby, se kterou toho ma dost spolecneho. vydali jsme se tam s Karin a s Hugem, uz podruhe. trocha atmosfery snad pujde "odkoukat" z videa. SESC je primo na Avenida Paulista, ktera se da povazovat za "pupek" Brazilie, nebo primo Latinske Ameriky (financni centrum). prvni fotka: Maru a Karin a vez, na Av. Paulista, nafoceno pri navratu z centra. druha fotka: pohled z terasy kulturniho centra na Av. Paulista.

Sampa has a cool cultural centre, SESC. on wednesdays there is live music - Chorrinho - in a coffee place on the 14th floor. Chorrinho is typical for Sao Paulo, it is an antecedent of samba and has a lot in common with it. we went there with Karin and Hugo, for the second time already. hopefully you will be able to feel a bit of the atmosphere thanx to the video... :) SESC is on Av. Paulista, which can be considered "the bellybutton"of Brazil and of Latin America as well (financial centre). first picture: Maru and Karin and one of the towers on av. Paulista, picture taken on the way home. 2nd: a view of Av. Paulista from SESC terrace.

Liberdade aneb kousek Japonska v srdci Sampy ~~ Liberdade - a piece of Japan in the heart of Sampa

v nedeli jsme se po "narocne" green go party vypravili na Liberdade (metrem je to kousek od domu), coz je japonska ctvrt. kazdou nedeli je zde narvano, je tu totiz trh a taky plno jidla:) Japoncu do Brazilie emigrovalo hodne, pry proto, ze chybela pracovni sila. a taky mozna valka a tak. dari se jim asi dobre, protoze napriklad na moji univerzite tady, ktera je pekne draha a jen pro elitu, je hodne jejich potomku, coz se neda rict o potomcich cernych otroku... (nemame ani jednoho na cele univerzite). vsimnete si vlajek (za mnou na prvni fotce) / pul je brazilska a pul japonska. no a maru pozuje s pletenou kytickou do vlasu, kterou si tam koupila. druha fotka: Maru, Morad a jeho kamarad Ivo (oba holandsko) a Alejandra, sestra Vicky. treti fotka: born free pred katedralou Se.
on Sunday, after the "exhausting" green go party, we went to Liberdade (close to my place if you catch a subway). Liberdade is a Japanese quarter. every sunday it gets full, there is a market and loads of food stalls... there were many immigrants coming from Japan to Brazil, partially because of labour that was needed here and partially the war, maybe... their children and grandchildren and grandgrandchildren are doing well, for example, there is a lot of them at my university here (it's an expensive university, for elite only) but there is no one of african descendence... notice the flags (on the 1st picture). it's half brazilian and half japanese. i bought this beautiful flower there for my hair:) 2nd picture: Maru, Morad and Ivo (HOland) and Alexandra, Vicky's sister. 3rd picture: born free in front of the Se Cathedral.

můj nejmilejsi profesor ~~ my favourite professor

with my professor Marco i had a class called Modern Society (sociology), it was always interesting, we read many cool articles (eg. from A. Giddens who writes about Globalization) and i liked the class and my professor a lot. thank you, Marco! :)

goodbye green goes party!

V sobotu byla posledni spolecna uzasna GREEN GO party... vysvetlim... zde se vsem cizincum rika GRINGOS, coz je z vyrazu GREEN GO! (myslim, ze to ma koreny ve Vietnamu, kde nechteli americke vojaky (v zelenych uniformach), a jedine, co umeli anglicky, bylo GREEN GO,tj. "ZELENI, ZMIZTE ODSUD". ;)
Party byla moc vydarena, sesli jsme se tam zahranicni studenti ze dvou mistnich univerzit. Zacali jsme brzy, uz nekdy ve 22hodin, ja jsem "parila" asi do 4, ale byli i taci, co opousteli misto cinu az okolo 7 hodiny ranni. Bylo to fajn protoze jsme si vsichni mohli rict ahoj a jeste malou chvili pobyt spolu... ted uz odjezdy... mizime jeden po druhem...:( fotky: Alexandra (moc fajn, z Kolumbie) a Maru, druha fotka: Vicky, Alexandra, Cata a Maru.

On Saturday all the GREEN GOS that study here in Sampa had their last party... let me explain the term... here all foreigners are refered to as GRINGOS, which should have an origin in Vietnam where US soldiers (wearing green uniforms) were not wanted. the only thing that the locals knew to say in english was "GREEN GO"... :) The party was too cool, we started early, at 10 pm, i was there till 4 am, but some of us left around 7 am:) it was a nice opportunity to be together for the last time and to say bye because now a bit by bit we are leaving... pictures: Alexandra from Colombia and Maru. 2nd one: Vicky, Alexandra, Cata and Maru.
