Bahia

so im in a Brazilian school computer lab after talking to some brazilian students. It was very interesting to know about how they lived and fun to answer their questions. It made me think a lot about what happens back home in New York like the 9/11, hiphop, the gov´t, etc. Soo yeaa Bahia is a very nice and relaxed place, with not much hustle and bustle. I enjoyed the capoiera A LOT, the afrobrazlian dance was alright, and the precussion was great too. ALso, i´ve noticed that Im having trouble with Portuguese somewhat b/c i dont speak much and use translators? who knows, but im going to study when i have free time. As for the group activites and social conversations, id say im being pretty quiet, which i don´t want to be. I came on this trip to become more social, outgoing, enlightened, and have a blast of a summer. Hopefully that will happen and I´ll loosen up as the capoeira teacher says all the time.
