Would 1 Vodka Harm My Baby

Chapter 4 - Part 3: Metropolis


And then Sao Paulo.

Amntena The two board members and Kurt Ludwig Mueller Wohnhas had invited all Brazilians from Sao Paulo, two from Porto Alegre, and Dilan and me and two other girls from Salvadorcity. There were four very nice days, productive and fun to be the same. Apart from work, which in terms of our Projekteinsaetze to do is, we had a few brief occasions, know that fuenftgroesste city in the world to learn - with more than 20 million inhabitants and 8.000km ² (metropolitan area).

short description upon arrival: a city that seems to consist only of skyscrapers, to the horizon in every direction. But in the always crowded Metro feels like ants X4U61 on the way to Y! 9th Everywhere, people, cars, loud noises, flashing lights. The pinnacle of globalization, a million Japanese, as many German and hundreds of nationalities: they are all merged into this huge pot to a colorful mass, which, like wild moves purposefully through the streets on constantly pulsates. From my hotel window I could make good an impression of this never sleeping Mega City. Day and night, 24 hours around the clock drive on the eight-lane road cars, cars, cars. That's crazy to imagine a lifetime of living in such a city. How can we can make each a reference to the original environment of the people when you are born and grow up in such a funnel which has no real nature, no life knows no lack, no life, no traffic, no speed, no noise? Because it would me mighty before grauhen. But reinschnueffeln a few days is finally accessible. we dedicate ourselves but to the events in the conference room of the hotel. There was a lot of administrative clarified, the other volunteers presented their projects and related how it was given them for this, we were shown videos and photographs of the other Amntena-expatriate in Western South America, these quilting adventure brought to the seminar in Chile. And Dilan and I reported how it was for us given in the last six months. Under the motto "Fides" (Latin: trustworthiness, honesty). We have described open to all things as they ran our visibility in Terra Mirim good or - as described above - were hurt us Konfilkt the co-chairs disliked the fact that our two predecessors, the holiday scheme of Weltwaerts - 18 days - were easily re-interpreted, namely to just those over 50-figurative, because they had not expected so natural. It explained, however, for all concerned the fact that water in Terra Mirim at Dilan and I definitely Saturday shifts provided (last year is not the case), as well as the collaboration in the regular Essensaufwaermen and flower beds outside of working hours and not the non-recognition of Christmas Eve or New Year as public holidays. Of course the responsibility of Amntena our survey agreed to the work situation is not necessarily cheerful. There was a discussion about how to change the current situation as can that for everyone involved benefits and satisfaction comes. So we suggested and Kurt Ludwig, after arriving with the leaders of Terra Mirim to seek the open conversation. And we should do. However, was allowed on the eve of departure, a joint visit to the city's famous Churrascaria "OK" is not lacking in which we let us taste it once really. The unique opportunity of being presented with a real drop of wine - in Bahia is the beer, the Domina - we could not just leave and had to take of course test each year separately. And the food was not long in coming. No sooner had we seven of us sat at the round table, as already fired once at least five waiter brought to us wanted to foist the same time 20 plates of various appetizers. We ordered then finally the noble variant of the "All you can eat" - "all you can eat + all we can cook and bring" spoil and left us. Yes, this may be once a year! It was a moving conveyor belt sushi, but this time in even more vivid form of the waiters. Whenever one had finished his plate-like, three waiters immediately came and asked for further requests, and cooked them until they are at the completely overburdened Esser also live to keep it under your nose. This fact alone and the ample wine and Caipirinhagenuss made the evening from the start, very sociable and there was plenty of laughing, joking and consumed. How many lobsters were consumed that night and who is the record holder (hint: it was not me!)? It could be the next day nobody remember so real.

However, I am reminded on the next morning, after a night of wild dreams, an SMS on my phone display the absolute icing on the cake the night before: "And Let us go to a disco Do not forget, magic I can do what you believe, as my feet are the women so? up reporting. " What had happened? While the glasses at the OK slow at our table the night before were always full and empty, had mixed but actually a bit wrong in the raging waiter bring food! This schelmige face us was suspicious from the start, if such it can not individually saw (okay, that was now exaggerated). And then when he started to pull out his cards, was there is no stopping them. A magician in the restaurant, showing off the guests - what a great idea. He drove many a joke with our group, was suddenly Louis Clock to Kirstin's wrist, "Kurti" helped not marked cards to the deeper knowledge, the wizard spit out cards like crazy through the air, which we previously painted and it immediately before in the hand pressured, poured blindfolded, one meter Legumes in our mouths, and more. A true highlight of Entertaining. Well, late in the evening he had an easy game and how does the SMS, he would have really found it almost managed to persuade us to still be a long night in Sao Paulo.

In any case this was an evening, I will think back to the pleasurable and enjoyable. A mixture of magic show, Esswettbewerb and Wine Festival, who had already experienced?

The next day we got so full of joy and good humor back in the plane to Bahia, the intentions were not exactly small, and a queasy feeling spread through us than we to land. Finally we had to, no matter how the result should fail, then some fairly hitting them in the head and that's not really our specialty of both. Perhaps that is why we allowed ourselves from the airport taxi ride directly to the neighboring village to our friends, along with the suitcases and a few hours of travel in the mind, rather than as soon as possible to check in at Terra Mirim. The thought leaders, we should learn the next day, not at all funny, since they had the taxi driver - "beside himself with worry" - a call (not us) to find out what we drove on that Sunday evening Sun The signs had not improved by the fact, the opposite, but together we should handle the matter anyway, because we were sure.
