car update, I cany hold her captain!
somewhere between my, Samoras and Christianos driving on the tracks a few new problems have come up, one of which could be an issue…
the car alarm and the central locking system just doesn’t work at all now, it had been heading that way for a while and it finally gave in, a pain but not [...]
laugh at my expense… again!
a quick update before I fill in the backlog of days and just so you can laugh at me again, I had seen many of the guys complaining of acid burns and some looked pretty nasty. turns out it comes from an insect urinating on you, oh the joy, needless to say the acid for [...]
off air…
back online today, internet has been a real pain for the last week no one fixes anything during carnaval, updates on there way!
being ill and powerpoint (argh!)
so being ill really isn’t funny, I have a fever and in this heat oh my god… and lads no comments about where I got it from, ok!
I’m not well enough to drive today so I have handed the reins over to Samora… evidently it has been a while (2 years) since he’s used a [...]
the other side of Carnaval!

get your dance on :)

mirandiba (spelt wrong no doubt, sorry!)
another day without Samora but Adalmir has the slight edge on interview technique so no problem, apart from the need of sign language, however I can now hear most major words… just need to work out what they mean
mirandiba is a small town of about 4,000 people, I keep hearing the words cididade [...]
voce tem uma namorada?
it has taken a while but I now know what this means when women ask me, tuta didn’t tell me, and you have to be careful how you answer at carnival time, trouble is all I can say!!
teaching photography
after another night of carnival check the other post for some amusement in my naïvety.
we hadn’t planned to go to the community today as we really need a proper break but under the some pressure to film a farmers meeting we went… again against our better judgement I fear, yes I got some shots but [...]
Carnival boys!
well last night was interesting, first night of carnival and the tradition is that the blokes wear womens clothes, no I didn’t partake but I did notice there was a large proportion of the guys who seemed rather at home in drag.
in fact it appears that salgeiro has quite a large and open gay community, [...]
