hello again - new zeland

Ok ok...It has been a long time since my last post but these times were very intense with a lot of changes. Australia, New Zeland, Brasil (Campinas and finally, Belém).

let me tell something about christchurch.

I got there in a rainy afternoon and my plans were to go to hanmer springs and see the thermal pools in that cold weather.

I left to Hanmer Springs at 10:30. Evan is our guide, he is driving us to the thermal pools of Hanmer Springs. The trip is called Swim Express because we are swimming in the thermal pools and we have to come back at 2 PM.

I was listening to his stories and explicatoins about new zeland and its animals...

Kiwi and Weka are birds from NZ, do you know the difference? Well, weka is smaller than Kiwi and the latter has night habbits. That is, you can't see a kiwi in the morning...:(
Dwa is another animal and it looks like a 'veado'. Apparently they make a sort of powder from the dwa's horn and the japanese and korean guys pay a lot for this magic powder.

I've just seen a river here called Huranui, that means bride's hair and is so narrow, looks like a stream as Evan said. (see the picture)
Ok! The pools of Hanmer Springs are great! Very hot but i had a pretty scary time there. My camera has fallen into the hot sulfur pool. Dammit!!! Result: I had to dry the camera and it still does not work!! Puta merda...

Going back home...

Yes, my internship ended and I'm going back to Brasil.

In these months I did a lot of things, I've worked hard some times, been in very nice places, shared awesome times with a lot of amazing people that I knew and who now I can call friends, actually overseas friends.



I had interesting farewell nights there and I got pretty sad when i had to say goodbye to those people. We had such a good times.




Some people that I knew can tell that I don't like the word luck. However, when I'm talking about people (friends actually) I think I am a pretty lucky guy because of all these nice persons that I've met during my 'walking'.

Brisbane

As I alreday wrote here, I went to Brisbane last weekend but I didn't took any pictures from r



I've been in Gold Coast - Surfers Paradise and Snaper Rocks, where was the WCT. In Surfers Paradise, I went to the biggest residential building in the world (325 m), Q1



Snaper Rocks (hey my brother, does this picture reminds you anything?)





Nice Trip...

Social Soccer

Some pictures from the Fenner social soccer game.
Note the last one...looks like a "street" soccer team.
The team:
(sitting) - Phouc (Vietnan), Ben (England), Steph (Australia) and more 3 vietnamese friends who I can't remember the names.
(standing) - Tiago(Brazil)




Soundtrack: Pictures - Sneaky Sound System

brisbane

This weekend I'll go to Brisbane. I'll hang out with some friends and try to go to gold coast.

Right now I'm having a bloody headache and I have less patience with people in these cases.

coffee and music

Starring the coffee (Ok, it's mccafe but it's still a coffee...;) and the redipod (always with me...)

two weeks left

Well, the time has passed faster than I was expecting...as always.


Now, the doubt is Portugal or Australia? I have to decided this question indeed...

Multicultural Festival at Fenner...Brazil, China, Australia and Singapore...good friends

mudancas

Esse post vai pra uma grande amiga que esta mudando de cidade (vai pro Rio, tadinha dela...hehehe).
Fau, vai na paz, com boas lembrancas dos momentos e das pessoas que ficaram em Campinas, cidade essa que tu passaste tanto tempo.
Tirei essa foto numa das vineyards (nao sei como eh em portugues), final de semana passado, depois coloco as fotos aqui. Nao podia ser melhor pra ti, uma rosa de um local que faz vinho....;)

Essa musica eh viciante mesmo...Tem cara das boas musicas de axe de antigamente...

Beijao

Não precisa mudar
Vou me adaptar ao seu jeito
Seus costumes, seus defeitos
Seus ciúmes, suas caras, pra que mudá-las?

Não precisa mudar
Vou saber fazer o seu jogo
Saber tudo do seu gosto
Sem deixar nenhuma mágoa, sem cobrar nada

Se eu sei que no final fica tudo bem
A gente se ajeita numa cama pequena
Te faço um poema, te cubro de amor

Então você adormece
Meu coração enobrece
E a gente sempre se esquece
De tudo que passou
Então você adormece
Meu coração enobrece
E a gente sempre se esquece
De tudo que passou

Não precisa mudar
Vou me adaptar ao seu jeito
Seus costumes, seus defeitos
Seus ciúmes, suas caras, pra que mudá-las?

Não precisa mudar
Vou saber fazer o seu jogo
Deixar tudo do seu gosto
Sem guardar nenhuma mágoa, sem cobrar nada

Se eu sei que no final fica tudo bem
A gente se ajeita numa cama pequena
Te faço um poema e te cubro de amor

Então você adormece
Meu coração enobrece
E a gente sempre esquece
De tudo que passou
Então você adormece
Meu coração enobrece
E a gente sempre se esquece
De tudo que passou
De tudo que passou

"Tirirou!"

Se eu sei que no final fica tudo bem
A gente se ajeita numa cama pequena
Te faço um poema e te cubro de amor

Então você adormece
Meu coração enobrece
E a gente sempre se esquece
De tudo que passou
Então você adormece
Meu coração enobrece
E a gente sempre esquece
De tudo que passou
Então você adormece
Meu coração enobrece
E a gente sempre esquece
De tudo que passou
Então você adormece
Meu coração enobrece
E a gente sempre esquece
De tudo que passou
De tudo que passou

Não precisa mudar
Ah! Eu sei que não precisa mudar
Não precisa mudar
Não, não uuuhh

mobile pictures from the coast

These are some of the pictures that I've taken on South Coast. We've been in a lot of beaches and seen different landscapes...I've tried to get some samples from these moments.

The weather and the gray color provided by the sky have given a melancholic character to some pictures. They are very good though...

Enjoy it

running

The life goes faster than you can not even imagine...And I'll quote Fernando Pessoa now:

"O valor das coisas não está no tempo que elas duram, mas na intensidade com que acontecem. Por isso existem momentos inesquecíveis, coisas inexplicáveis e pessoas incomparáveis."

I've already seen this but now it really makes sense.

"The value of the things is not on time they last but in the intensity they happen. That is why there are unforgettable moments, things that can not be explained and people who can not be compared... "

Black Mountain

Last weekend Christoph and I challenged ourselves to climb the Black mountain and reach the Telstra Tower...
After one hour we got the summit of the "mountain"!!...Ok ok, it is not soo high but the walk was very good.
