So apparently I am still online. I am spending the last night in Sao Paulo sill at Tizzy's appartment (or rather her mom's), even though they left town for a few days. How nice of them to just trust me with the keys...
I just got back from a Verdurada, or straight edge concert. Horrible music, but interesting to witness: hundreds of young people going crazy on sounds from hell. But most of them are committed to change, and the food is vegan. One guy told me that the Belgian hardcore music is actually the greatest influence for the Brazilian hard core scene, and a lot of the CDs they sold were from Belgian bands.
With a bleeding heart I said goodbye to Vanessa tonight. She is the girl who, when god distributed Cuteness, was first in line. Life seems to be a continuous farewell these days...

The last blog in a couple of weeks. Spend last night at the apparment of Tizzy, a girl of Italian origin, temporarily living in SP, whom I met on Orkut. Yesterday night I went with Heather, Vanessa and Lucas to a restaurant that does a special vegan pizza evening every Saturday. All you can eat for 13 Reais or 7 dollars. Great pizza with great homemade fake cheese, from tofu and soaked nuts. This place too is more vegan friendly than Belgium.
Tonight I'll try to find another place to stay, for the last night in Sao Paulo, and tomorrow I take the five hour bus to Figueira. Heather will do another homestay, and we will meet for two more days in Rio afterwards, before flying home.

Bought a Teach Yourself Portuguese book, cause I love this language, and especially the intonation the Brazilians speak with (you also hear it in their English). It messes up my Spanish knowledge though.
