Lately I have been feeling much more comfortable in, and fond of, Fortaleza. I'm learning and adapting to the way of life here, and my Portuguese gets a little better everyday. I just don't know if I'll ever get used to kissing strangers.
I met Norali and Zac at the movie theater there. I bought my ticket and waited while they purchased theirs. The two men next to me had heard my horrible accent and asked where
I'm from. I answered and the one man said that his brother is in Newark right now. The men then introduced themselves, which involved a handshake plus two kisses with each. And then we parted ways. Mmkay.
I have developed a $3/1500 calories-a-day chocolate habit. Today I tried the Chocosoy truffles! Oh god.
Before that, the whole group had a day trip to a fancy schmancy beach. I rode the dunebuggy but didn't bring my camera for that. Note: if you have self-esteem/body image issues, you should come to Brazil and hang out on the beach. All women wear skimpy bikinis, and all men wear tiny Speedos, regardless of size, shape, or age. And no, Brazilians aren't somehow more attractive than any other population. They are just more confident.
