TGV is a CRAP!!!!!!!

Last day in Paris was fantastic with my dear friend and a small party at night, tres chique.

So I woke up on Sunday to pack my things and went to Gare de Lyon to take the train to Milan at 15:50pm.

The trip was ok until the train broken down and we had to wait until 22:00 to be rescued until Modena and there we had to continue by bus. This trip to Milan was terrible, terrible.

I was spected to arrive at 10pm and arrived at 04:30am. I arrived in Milano Centrale and all the shops were closed and there weren’t anyone to ask what I could do to go to Malpensa Airport .

When suddenly a police officer came and asked what I wanted to go, uff. He indicated me the way to the airport.

The flight to SP wasn’t good also but here I'm in my safety home

Party at London!!


Last Saturday we went to Hyde Park to know it. Very nice and a huge park and inside it they have 4 paintings of Romero Britto (ok I hate him). Ahh we were attacked for squirrels. At night we went to Gab's pub to know and drink a bit for free after there he took us to a club called Trash Palace , a gay place in Soho with nice music and very nice kitch decoration.

Yesterday we went to the Victorian and Albert museum and after that a nice party in other gay club called Friendly society with Barbies on the ceiling. So funny.

We met Maria Carol that had studied with Samanta and other 2 Gab's friend: Ju a Brazilian and Bia a Spanish girl.

I have to confess that I'm eating like a pig here I guess is because the cold weather. I can’t stop eat beagels, bread and desserts, uff

This afternoon I'm flying to Amsterdam . I'll be there until Nov 15th

Camden Town



Last Night Nani and me went to Camden to find the pub that Gab had recommended us: The Hawley Arms (or something like that)... anyway The neighborhood is amazing a lot of cool people and nice pubs, this one that Gab talked is amazing a lot of beautiful people and nice music but was full of people. After there we went to other one but not so good and we found one called Made in Brasil, so we entered. All the staff was Brazilian and the music wasn’t so good but was ok.

When we were coming back we realized that the underground was closed so we had to take a bus to come back home.

Toning we are going to Gab's pub. He is gonna get us drunk for free...

Leeds...Beirut

Last Night was amazing
I went to Leeds to see Beirut 's Concert. I arrived around 3pm and found easy Tiago's house. I mean Tiago's castle. Yes he lives in a mini castle in a university area. Well we figured out which bus I had to take and I left to the Leeds Irish Club. I have to say that is located in a very weird place out of the town in the middle of a road, with many weird people.

I waited for 1 hour outside almost freezing. This city is really cold. At least I was with my super gloves that I bought in Barcelona .

But didn’t have any place to get a coffee or something to eat. I was starving. And at 7pm they opened the doors. It was a really red neck place, the stage was so beautiful, with many small lights. A guy opened to Beirut (don’t ask me the name) and at 9pm Beirut started one of the best concerts that I’ve seen. It's really fantastic, much much better that his CD, and he is really nice.

Many nice pictures and a video also. When I was coming back to Tiago's castle and I met a Scottish guy that was in the concert also, he said that he came from Glasgow to see and I said that I had came from Brazil to see, hahaha so I won who had came farther.

At night I guess I'll go to Camden neighborhood where Amy Winehouse always appears in the tabloids.

This crap of lan house has the usb behind the PC. I couldn’t put my pen drive to post a pic to you. But I'll try soon in other lan house

Joao, I’m planning to go to the Virgin tomorrow to ask about your Sibelius but I'll have time in Amsterdam and Paris also

I hope everything is good with all of my friends

God save the Queen

A short day today. A Brazilian friend from Gab( she worked with Samanta in Bauru ) arrived here to live, her name is Nani (do you remember her Sa?). Had lunch with Gab and after left to meet Dani Ioca that worked with me in SP. She took me to have a traditional meal of their afternoons, with korn bread and a cafe. After that we went to a long walk around Thames River and she left to work. So I went to see the palace of the Queen (you know the name, I'll not write because is difficult).

The days are getting dark around 4.30pm, too depressing. Tomorrow I'm going to Leeds to see Beirut 's concert (finally)

Dani invited me to a party in a pub next Friday and Gab wants to take me and Nany to a Rock pub. Yes Cecilia he doesn’t like so much Metro, he wants to celebrate his 1 year here on Sunday in a place called Fabric, but he said is more electronic. We will figure out.

I can’t spend too much money because my trip to Paris is confirmed, so only free places.

Yes Ceci, Chagall's house is gonna receive me to show the paintings. They usually are closed because the paintings are traveling to some exhibitions but on Nov 13th they will be there.

I also bought some Chagall's things here in London . Actually cards on Tate museum that I'm intending to come back before I leave

London Calling...


Here I’m in the city of the Queen. The city is beautiful, but I don’t know I guess until now I preferred Barcelona . I haven’t any problem here. The English people until now were nice.

Yesterday night I met Gabi's boyfriend and we had a long walk together around the Thames River , fantastic. Gabi is studying English and a designer clothes course also. It's too funny because all the time he think that I'm Samanta, he said I'm more similar her than ever.

Today I walked as a camel (I can’t stand more walking), uff

Most of the museums are for free, so today I went to the National Galery, Tate Modern Museum (the best) and the National Portrait museum.

Many Warhol, Matisse, Moore, Kandinsky.

and some of my favorites ones: CALDER and LINCHESTEIN ( I took a hide picture of one Linchestein, hihihi)

And a huge walk until the Tower Bridge .

Many good pictures. I'll try to post soon. In 2 days I'll go to Leeds to see Beirut . I can’t wait

Against the Lines !!

Yeah people I’m really against the lines, so today I went to places that people don’t use to go, yayayaya (laughing in Spanish).

Skip Casa Batló and Picasso museum (full of people). At least I saw Picasso some years ago in Paris , ufff

So let’s come back to the subject: I saw Dali exhibition and a Pre Colombian exhibition, they are celebrating La fiesta de los muertos... (Fantastic many Archaeological pieces)

Also walked again into the Bairro Gotic and took some pictures, specially Graffiti pictures, yayayaya.

Music of the day: The Moldy Peaches – Jorge Regula

Persepolis


She listening to Iron Maiden

She wears Adidas

She wears Nike

She sings Eye of the Tiger

She wears punk jacket

She smokes pot

She is the fucking Marjane Satrapi

Walk Walk Walk...


Here I’m in the Bairro Gotic, I tried to go to Picasso museum but gave up, full of people. Now I’m going to kill my family to go to the cinema: Persepolis in some minutes.

Today I went to La Pedrera , one Park near the Miró museun and Sagrada Familia that I just stayed outside. Is impossible to go inside you have to face tons of people and I wasn’t in the mood for that, and of course, I’m not a religious people to go to churches.

Thx Cecilia to tell that I don’t have cancer and you had the same symptoms as I’m feeling (yes my nose is still bleeding).

Sa I’ll recharge my mobile at night, where is our uncle?

Thursday 1 November 2007

ok I gave up about the pictures...

You are going to wait...

I´ll send a link soon

uff at least I have my Last.fm on

Barcelona has a Roy Linchestein


Fucking Chagall and Calder

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I did so many things, a long walk inside Parc Guell and thanan..... Fundació Miró.

Parc Guell everybody knows is one of the most famous landmarks from Barcelona . but I’m shocked with fundació Miró. I’m really into modern art, pop art and other things like that. The Fundació is awesome BUUUUTTTTTT I have to tell what I found inside that: 3 Chagall and 2 Calder.

For me my trip here can finish here (ok I’m kidding) because in Amsterdam the Chagall house is gonna receive me on nov 13th. But these two guys are my favorite’s artists EVER. Marc Chagall I don’t have any words to say. He really touches me, all his paintings and sculptures.
They were there: Le nu rouge (1909), Le nuage nu (1945-46), Deux nus (1951). I bet my sister is very jealous about me, hahaha

And the other Alexander Calder and his Movil Models.

I have to talk about Miró and the others that I also found there: Picasso, Moore, Giacomettis, Lindner, Klein...and others

A walk down in Ramblas but I have to confess, for me is like 25 de Marco but with Europeans. I really prefer Bairro Gotic.

That it is for now...

No photos until now. I have to go to that Pakistan lan house to post the pictures, because here in the hostel is impossible. I have to be very fast.


I’m missing you guys... but I’m enjoying a lot

Someone can send me news about the office? Mari, Marcio are you not going to talk???

I know that in the office is blocked this site for comments, but you can send me e-mails.

Entonces... The 2nd part

Buenas chicos de mi corazión, in the afternoon I went to the North of Barcelona by bus again and saw many nice things that I’m intending to do today. At night I went to meet a store of a friend and I meet also his wife’s store. Two nice stores very near my hostel.

... Talking about my hostel now, when I arrived yesterday I met a Belgium group that had booked a group for 7, but they aren’t a usual group for hostel, they are about 50-60 years old, and in the kitchen the people were throwing a party (I guess because the Halloween), and they were smoking pot and the music was so loud that I thought that group could be die... Was so funny.

Well you know guys that I’m not a sociable person so... I went to my room sleep.

Ahh... Fuck I woke up at 5am and couldn’t sleep anymore...urgh and stayed awake until 8am that I had finally dressed me up and came to the reception to be on internet.

Now the Belgium group is cooking and I don’t understand anything what they are talking about.

Ok I’m trying to download my pictures but this computer is strange for me. Let’s see if I can put something here to not be so boring to you.

Now a disgusting thing but you are my friends so I can share with you... Well I’ve living in one of the most cities of the world, Sao Paulo but here my nose is bleeding all the time. This air hates me. (I need a ¨rinosoro¨)

Milan Adventure - Barcelona


My flight arrived at 10:30am, and my flight to Barcelona was at 15:30, so my Italian adventure was inside the airport.

I was waiting and I saw a weird guy making some face expressions and talking alone, that situation let me bit worried. I know that I talked alone sometimes, but not like that. Suddenly he stood up and starts to argue with an old guy... was really weird the old guy had to run away...
Don’t ask me what they talk about, because my headphones were on (Moldy Peaches).

Finally I could take my flight, and arrived safe in Barcelona Airport . Marinah, Jordi and the little Gaia were there waiting for me with a chocolate box from Barcelona . This couple and their little daughter are lovely friends that I have. She is fucking funny and her husband also.

They took me to the centre and I could let my luggage and made my check in.
After a little Tour in Barcelona . They take me to Fnac to see if I could find some gifts that some people ask me. Here the answers: Sa - there is no Nada movie, I’ll have to check in other store, Cla, sold old The science of Sleep. Ivna the same of Samanta, there is no Stupeurs et Tremblements, I’ll check them in other stores.

But my search didn’t finish here, ok!?

After Fnac and some walk for Las Ramblas, we met their friend Camila and we had dinner together in an Italian Restaurant really nice. I was starving but my pizza was so big that I couldn’t eat all..:(

Well Marinah, Jordi and Gaia don’t live in Barcelona , so they left after our dinner to Stiges, that I’ll go soon to know.

Today I woke up around 9am and started my walk down. I took a bus trip, a tip from Marinah, that you can take and leave whatever you want. Now I’m in the Barrio Gotic in a Pakistan lan house... less expensive, 1€ per hour (I have internet free in my hostel). Yesterday I couldn’t write so now I’m here to tell you a bit of my trip.

I knew the South o the city by bus and took nice pictures, Ill post soon.

So that it’s for now and I’ll send some news soon.
