HAAAAAH. You don't find that as amusing as I do, I'm sure. I was in the shower just now and all I could think about was the Wizard of Oz. "Why?" you ask, well....let me tell you.... hahahhaah okay. I'm done now.
In all seriousness...I should probably be more scared than impressed at my body's ability to turn this shade of brown....considering my natural lack of any pigmentation WHAT so ever. I'm like the horse in Oz! I was white...then red (as hell)..and now I am a nice burnt siena....not quite so dark...but it is impressive. Oh, I also used to be orange! oh yes. Like I said, I should be more worried than I am, but for now, let me enjoy this.
The downside though, is that I have a long lasting Amy-colored bikini on whenever I take my clothes off. Next time I go to the pool....I'm wearing a different one...just because. Also, the fact that I have somehow magically turned reptillian, and my skin has decided to shed itself. Well...how gross can it get. I love gross things though. I'm gross. Forget you :)
This morning I got a manicure. Pink :) It's like a pretty bubblegum colour... with designs (white and blue flowers and stuff) on the pinky, thumb and favorite finger of each hand. A lot of people do business out of their homes, and this lady did manicures and pedicures from her place...if I hadn't been here this long it would have sketched me out to be in the lesser part of the city in a strangers house and hwta not. But things here are just different. It felt like nothing out of the ordinary really. Oh. And the best part...it cost 7 Reais. Which is like... $4.20 USD. At home I used to get manicures once and a while when I wanted something special...because they are expensive. Not here. And I found it funny that I got a better manicure from this one woman than I did from a high end salon my first week here. :)
I love so much about it here. Not necessarily the city, but Palmas is perfect for me right now. The country and the culture and the people...the life all around. I do not want to go back home hahah. Two months in and I kind of have fallen in love. If I weren't on exchange it would be sooo amazing too, in different ways. But being here on exchange made things a lot easier. Life is funny as an exchange student. One of my rules here is like...no SERIOUS relationships...they didn't say anything about marriage though. So beware, I may come home with dual citizenship...
hahahahah I wiiiiish.
And last night we made fondue and french fries. And we watched Hot Tub Time Machine...which has some other name here. And yes, it is just as bad in Portuguese.
