Xmas Night

On Dec 24th I joined the brazilians members at my place for a special dinner!!!
It was amazing!!! we cooked hot dog, brazilian's special sauce!! It's nice to see that even we being far from our country and being by ourselves .. we can still feel the Christmas Sensations.
After the dinner we sang some songs, I'll put the video in the sequence!!
later we went to the bar to finish our celebrationn!!!!!
 I wanna thank you all who made part of this!!
I also wanna enjoy the moment to wish all the brazilians and others nationalities a merry christmaaas!!!

PS: We walked to the market before and to the bar after the dinner and we just stopped the street!! everybody in the bars and walksides got curious and at the same time kind of shameful for us!! I just laughed!!!! it's very very different for them. To find the Xmas hat was a haaard job!!! But we did!!! =)))

Today definitely wasn't a typical day, a little turkish girl approached on me in a restaurant asking who I am!! I got surprised cause It was the first time it happens here!!! In special to be a little girl. Everybody on the streets knows I'm a foreign guy but they just keep cool... Culture Differences!!! Anyway, this girl's attitude let me glad!!!!

I also got the soccer match picture ..  just to remember .. it was windy and also very cold!!!

EFES BEER - Turkish Beer

First day at BBC

It's nice to be in a such good place!!! That's the sensation I had today!!
The first day at BBC (language school) was very very good!!
I had 3 english classes, and for the first impression I got very glad!!
The students got a little bit shy and curious which is normal... but at the same time they got confident!!
I have 5 weeks to teach and learn a lot, and in so short time I've already learned so much!!!
the teachers are very friendly and I'm feeling I'm at the correct job here!!!
Tomorrow I'm going to post some pictures in the class!!!

As the days go passing I'm reaching the top of my "honey moon stage" . I hope it lasts for a long long time!!
Everybody here is very friendly and they're trying to help me so much!
Today I meet some importants places here as the Blue Mosque for instance .. pretty beautiful!!
Tomorrow I'm going to start my job, as you must know, I'm going to teach english for turkish students!
They also scheduled a soccer match for Saturday, it's gonna be funny ... Brazil X Turkey!!!
I can forget the crazy experience I had today... my host friend took to the college!!! There are 2 pictures showing the classroom board and the turkish students!!! they looked at me as an E.T, but ok, I'm the stranger here anyway.
To finish the day, my friend invited me for a dinner, cause his family was curious to meet me!!
The food was fantastic, I have no words to describe!!!
Well, the pictures can tell a little bit more....



Turkish Fanta - delicious




The Ulucami - You must take your shoes off to get in!




Classroom board - everybody was looking at me as an ET!!

Good night everyone!!! this is my first contact from Turkey! hope everything is going well in Brazil.
The trip was long but very calm!! It was a total of 20 hours flying!!
Istanbul is a very big city which remains me Sao Paulo, my hometown!
I just stayed half of an hour in Istanbul, but trough the metro I could see some very similar places, as Burger King , and Adidas Outlet!
After that I got a bus to bursa!! It supposed to be easy, and it was! the only problem was a men in the court trying me to offer some kind of help to buy the bus ticket.. not for free of course, and I needed to pay him, sth like 10 reais!
The first impression of Turkey was better than I've tought.
The cold weather is trying to kill me!!!!
It was snowing when I arrive but now, it's ok!! Zero DEGREE!!!

the next posts should be crazy!! cause this trip has just begun!!!!
                                                             Very hot night at Bursa !!!!
