one week in "the city " - working in Campinas :))

1,5 week ago I went to Campinas to work in the office of NAPRA.
It was really nice time there !!!
Unfortunatelly I don't have any pictures as my card from camera"stopped to like me" for a day and I couldn't have opened the pictures so I needed to make a format of it.
However - the upcoming weekend and the beginning of next week I will be in Campinas aswell - so I will have a chance to make some pictures again from the office.

So one week there - was really nice.
Campinas - is the second biggest city in Sao Paulo state ( Sao Paulo is the biggest in the state, and in whole Brazil aswell). In fact - Sao Paulo state has the same number of habitants as Poland, and Sao Paulo City around 40% of population of Poland - isnt it funny?? or unbeliavable?
Campinas has around 3 mln people and comparing to my small city ( Sao Carlos)--> it is CITY ;DDD

Daily life there was nice, quiet but nice - going to the office in the morning, going back home for the lunch or going somewhere for the lunch . In fact lunch break in Brazil is for 2h, not like in Poland ( 30 minutes) Then working again till 5-6 and then relax - preparing dinner, going for a pasteis to the city, or for a juice or cookies - small, sweet, delicious ;)))
I was there with Dri ( Adriana -from Slovakia ) She is in Brazil already 8 months.
It is so funny cause we are so similar ( I mean Poland and Slovakia, and of course- Dri and me aswell, as people ;PP ) So we cooked for Andrea ( woman from NGO in whose house we stayed for a week) Polish - Slovak meal - potato pancakes and couve-flor with eggs - and both of us were so happy to have possibility to cook and eat something "smelling home" and offer it to someone aswell ;))

The funny thing about us ( me adn Dri) is that when we want to gossip ( hehe ;P ) the easiest way to be not understood by anyone is speaking: me in polish , she in slovak - languages are sooo similar that we almost didnt have difficulties to communicate.

On Thursday we went out for a beer and playing snooker with friends from Sao Carlos, who came back home for a weekend. It was sooo nice evening, except few things - which were called by one friend " surprise ". Ok - so my surprise was that I got to know that I am "blond girl" without education ;PPP funny ;)) I always try to pretend I am smart and usually I can manage - not this time ;PP this guy had just X-ray of my brain ;PPP
And what is more - our friends showed us on the way " special garrages" --> you know that here there are kind of "love garrage" ---> guy enters with a girl, pays for it, and then "tries to convience her how much he loves her " ;PPPP really - it was soooo surprising for me, impossible how "innovative" Brazilians can be ;)))

And on Saturday we went with Dri to feira - to buy beautiful neckles, earings and other "girl's stuff" -it was paradise for us. Imagine that everything is made of seeds, or some things from Amazon - impressive !!! beautiful !!!

And to finish our visit in Campinas we were "discovering" Campinas' bus station for 3 hours, as we missed the previous bus by 5 minutes . But was funny !!!
As soon as I get some pictures from Andrea's camera - will add them here ;))
