Brasileiro

Been a while since the last update, also sorry for the lack of pics but no-can-do at the moment.

Since the last post, we have arrived in Brasil...via 40 hours of flying and some pig intestine. Yummy.
Anyways, have arrived to a tranquil place just outside rio de janeiro. Inside the base is very peaceful, surrounded by quite high walls. Outside is a very poor area, kev keeps on goin on about the hustle and bustle nature of the country. Apparently, according to him, "It is kicking off".
Everyone here is friendly, they all wear smiles constantly. People who can, try to speak in english for the dumb foreigners that we are. We are trying with our portuguese and having to learn fast.
Today was the first day of work here. We did some maintenance work in the morning before heading out to a local school in the afternoon. The classes are mad. Theres like 100 kids in these open-walled rooms all screaming and shouting, sounds like a swimming pool on a bank holiday. Not sure how they are kept under control.
We went there with a team from the base who did some dancing stuff for the kids for Easter, and we were like the zoo animals that come along to be pointed at. Well wierd. After the talk all the kids came up and were crowding round me kev and nick for autographs. I have to admit my ego is ridic big right now.
Anyways we get up at like 6 every mornin, and its a long hot day so gonna hit the hay.
Hope your all doing well
