Saturday Party & Talking To Classes

Sorry for the gap in posts. I've been busy playing soccer, talking to english classes and partying. The party on Saturday was freaking amazing. It was more of a concert/night club. There were SOOOO many people there. I've never experienced anything like that before. There was a band playing called Cidadão Quem which apparently is very famous. They were very good and everyone loved them. The night started at 11:30 when I went to Foche's house with Bernardo to meet up with the other 9 guys. Then we all went to Gabi's birthday party at her house. That was really fun, we stayed there until about 12:30am and then we all left for the main party. It was at this huge building with a bar and a dance floor and a stage and everything. There were even security guards in suits stationed around the entrances and walking around. The band played for a really long time but they left around 3am. When they finished, the lead singer threw his guitar pick into the crowd and I caught it. It was really funny because I wasn't really paying attention and I saw this white thing falling and I thought it was a bottle cap. I was curious so I just stuck out my hand and I caught it. Then I realized that all the people around me were freaking out looking for something on the ground and then I saw the pick in my hand and realized what was going on. It was pretty cool. I still have it and I'm keeping it as a souvenir to remember the good times I had at the party. After the band stopped playing they started to bump this weird techno music. They were all American songs like "My Humps" and "Low" but with ridiculous techno beats, it was pretty funny. Me and Bernardo finally left at 4:30am but the party still wasn't over. All in all I had a great time and I cannot wait until next week for the next party.

There's a guy that goes to special events in Veranópolis and takes pictures to put on a website so I added some of those pictures.

So today after lunch I went to Lais' school to talk with her class about America and stuff like that. But what happened was the class next to hers also wanted to come out in the hall where we were and listen and ask questions. It was crazy because every one of the 50 kids had like 5 questions and they all screamed them at me at the same time. Then some of the teachers that heard the craziness coming from the hall walked by and told me that they wanted me to talk to their class too. So for 4 hours I went from class to class telling everyone my story and answering the same kinds of questions like "what is your school like?" and "do you have any siblings?" and "what is your city like?" and "what is your favorite color?" and many many more. It was so tiring and when I was done I came home and to relax I got to talk to Nana's class at her English school. It was really cool though because everywhere I went people were shouting my name and saying things like "Hello" and "How are you today?" to show off their English. It was funny.
