Brazil & me

I don't like remembering the past, so I can't say that I have a "favourite holiday", so I'll talk about my last holidays instead.

I went to Brazil, specifically Búzios and Río.

Yes, I'm a lucky guy.

This holidays were this year on January's first week, the week where the government gave us the results of our PSU test. Brazil is a very special country, and I really loved Río, it's an awesome city. I know there are a lot of poor people in Río, and I thought it was very interesting that the really expensive houses were so close to the favelas, that way rich people can't ignore the country's inequalities. I went there with my father, his wife, Angélica and my two brothers. I spent 4 days in Búzios and 2 days on Río, we went to different beaches (the ones on Búzios and the famous ones on Río, Copacabana and Ipanema) and obviously to the great landmarks, Corcovado hill and Maracaná stadium. We spent some pretty good time walking across the city and talking to people, one of the things I liked the most was that people there are very friendly and nice, and they can understand almost everything you tell them in Spanish, although I couldn't understand a lot of thing about Portuguese. 

I heavily recommend going to Brazil, it's impossible having a hard time!

This is Búzios

And this is some of Río.
