I got back from Brazil yesterday. It was quite a trip, with 23 hours flying time and an 8 hour stop-over in Chigaco. Not nice.
Brazil itself was quite nice, but I was a bit busy the whole time. I got put into a rather tough hotel the first night, with loud people shouting until 3am etc but fortunately I was able to shift into the Novotel which was heaps nicer. The food was very yummy and I really enjoyed the breakfasts. We went out to eat one night to a Brazilian grill place and there was so much food. I wasn’t very hungry the day after.
I managed to get quite a bit done, apart from the task of going there. I also got to watch Tonari no totoro like 3 times in Japanese which was fun. I’m starting to remember different Japanese parts which is interesting.
