Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 31oC, hot, Sunny, overcast and a little stormy at the end of the day. It has turned out to be a pretty productive day, even though it wasn’t expected. A heavy exercise session from 5 until almost 7 am caused me to hurry home almost late to begin classes. A speedy shower, a change of clothes […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 31oC, hot, sunny and sometimes overcast. In Brazil, the new year starts on the first Monday after the carnival. This tradition holds both symbolic and metaphoric meanings; however, given the current circumstances of Brazil and the modern world, it is unclear if this tradition is still valid. Saying this! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! In the morning, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 35oC, very hot, sunny and unstable weather. During the day, I downloaded two films to watch, with one of them being very dear to me for different reasons. Time passes, but every now and again, I want to see this film again and again. The film that is particularly important for me to watch again is […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 35oC, very hot, sunny and unstable weather. I would like to have said it was just a typical Sunday, but it wasn’t. Okay, I played chess, the best of 3, with Yasmin again, and again, I lost. I bought lunch for Yasmin as I don’t like to cook on a Sunday; normal, too. I did exercise […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 33oC, very hot, sunny and stuffy. It is boiling and stuffy. Today is Yasmin’s Day. Although it was not her birthday, we spent the whole day together. As parents, it is important to read when our children need or are looking for our attention. Even though the child is not alone or lonely, a parent is […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot, Sunny and slightly overcast. Today was a bit of a contradictory day for me. It marked the first Friday after carnival and my first full day of classes in a week, leaving me slightly confused. On the one hand, I was eager and determined to work after more or less a week of doing […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot and a little overcast. Today was a tough workout despite being very early. It’s technically the first full workday after carnival, but most people aren’t back into work mode yet. Some are still travelling or celebrating carnival with street parades over the weekend, while others may be feeling sluggish from too much food, drink, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot and a clear sky. In the past, people were only required to work from noon on the Wednesday after carnival if they had to go back to work on that day. However, during my time running the school, I tried to hold classes on Wednesday afternoons, but no one ever showed up. In some […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 32oC, very hot and stormy. Today marks the official end of the carnival in Brazil, though many people will continue to relax, celebrate, and travel until the following weekend. It is common for people to host barbecues and enjoy themselves before returning to work on the first Monday after the carnival. In Brazil, this day is […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot and sunny. It was the second and last night of the special league of samba schools’ processions at Sambodromo and the penultimate day of the carnival. It was the middle of the morning, and as Yasmin was not with me, I decided to take a walk along Av. Atlantica by the beach. To my […]
