Fee Capital of the world: Brasil

So today was exciting... our Portuguese homework was the hardest and most diffucult thing ever, we have to meet at a different city for our class tomorrow and then we learned that we have to pay a 180 dollar tax to registrar with the police. It for sure was the not best day in Brazil for me. But i cant really get out of it because i have to do my homework, and i have to go to class, and i am not going home yet so ill deal with it. Brazil i swear is the fee capital of the world, we have to pay a fee to go to the island of 10 reias and a tax to leave the island... crazy! ugh.

Anyways i had to go the bank today... boo i just don't like banks that much, i wish the atm was in the computer some how, that would be so useful. But one thing that was cool today is that my host mom, carla, said that we are going to rio de janiero for a wedding of her cousin in November, and i am excited to go with people who know where they are going and speak the language! We have a really long holiday weekend in October as well and its during Oktoberfest in Santa Catarina in the south so i will try and convince my friends to go, so that i don't go to Rio twice. Or maybe we can go to Sao Paulo or something, they also really want to go to the Amazon... but i am not sure if i would be down for that because i cant remember if i got the yellow fever shot when i went to Argentina. But maybe i did and i forgot, but some people say that you don't even need it, but i am not to sure how i feel about getting a topical disease in Brazil.

Other than that, it is going to be quite easy to buy Christmas presents for everyone here, especially the girls because they're are so many cute Brazilian stuff for girls. But the space thing is going to be the problem...because i don't have that much, seeing that i packed my bags to there maximum capacity. Oh well we will see how it goes! tchau... i have to go now... (if you were wondering that is the only English line to a Brazilian song that they play in the clubs everywhere)
