There is no time!

We've been so busy here, I've barely had time to process what I've learned. Everything is still good though. Food is still as amazing as it was when I first got here, people are as friendly as ever, and Brazil is as interesting as before. I can't believe I only have a week and a half left in Caxias! I still hardly know Portugese, but as long as I say something like, "No fala Portugese" (I don't speak Portugese) people seem much more helpful.

We're starting to get into the nitty gritty ethnographic aspects of this trip, speaking to students here taking English class about their trash cans (they're so small!) and how much their electronics are and why (~750 American Dollars for a Nintendo Wii) have been some of my questions. I'm thinking that the trash cans are small because they recycle much more here than they do in the States, at least here in Caxias.

The stores here I'm having a hard time understanding: In this store shoes and clothes were sold alongside car rims: http://tinyurl.com/o69au9 Hopefully I'll have more photos next post!
