The last few days
So I have now finished work. My long days (a phone call at 7am, from my boss to say good morning is no more! At first I tried to sound professional when he called by trying to sound awake, it worked for the first week but on the last day I dropped the phone on the floor and knocked over a glass of water... by then he knew I was not awake).
Working in the language school was great. I have been treated very well by the students, teachers and staff. We had three courses in 3 weeks, so many different people. They invited me to their house - Dean if ever you want to visit Rio, Sao Paulo, Sao Joa etc. let me know...)
I'll miss the 5-star teatment (better than any hotel, as here you just leave your dirty shirts and they come back ironed and hung up 8 hours later!). And the cost... in 3 weeks I spent R$3.5 (about 85 British Pence.. or under 2CHF). That was because I decided to go off site and buy something. Otherwise food (lots of it) and chocolate cakes etc. where self-service and the beer and wine on the house and still my weight is unchanged... I like Brazil!
Today, in Itajuba visiting friends and seeing the LC on a social visit. Just waiting to go for a Pizza and beers and catch up etc.
Looking forward to home, but not to getting there. I think it will be around 31-32 of door to door activity (car (20mins) bus 6am (4.5hrs), metro (20mins), bus (30mins), wait (3.5hrs) and fly (11hrs), wait (2.5hrs) connection flight, Milian, 10.30am (2.5hrs), London Tube (1hr), train (2hrs) car (1hr), plus other things that usually happen in airports, metros, train stations. Hope to get home to see my first six o'clock news on Thursday!
