Copo Do Mundo 2010!!!!

Watching...actually PARTICIPATING in the World Cup, is not just a favorite Brasillian past time...I'm beginning to believe that it is more a part of the culture than anything else!! I love it!!! I like that I can say that for every game that Brasil has played I've had a different experience with the people of Brasil. Game one: Brasil vs. North Korea...I strolled into Cafe da Lagoa and was later joined by and Italian professor...Game two: Brasil vs. The Ivory Coast...house party at Dr. Padua and Jania's where I ended up getting pretty drunk off wine and champagne...thanks Jania :) It's amazing the kinds of heart-to-heart convos you can while while under the influence...either way, it was pretty awesome!! Great food, great host!!! Great way to end the weekend!!!! For Game three: (which is scheduled for this Friday) Brasil vs. Portugal I will be watching in the lab with the people I work with!!! I'm really excited...everybody who's anybody in Padua's Lab will be there...except for the man himself who took off to Curitiba today :(
