guslThis weekend + Mon + Tue was Carnaval. Things get crazy (i.e. loud, undrivable, dangerous (think of Mardi Gras on the scale of 1.2M people) ) in Recife in Olinda, so my family went to the beach.
Sunday
Drove with my cousin Ricardo to my parents' beach house in Pontas de Pedra.
Monday
Bored with the prospect of boating with my family and pissed off at Ricardo, I drove myself to Tambaba, the nearest nudie beach. I had to wait a good half hour until a nice lady would agree to go in with me, since single men are assumed armed and dangerous ("armado" is a metaphor in Portuguese: try to guess what the gun would be).
It was much better than my experience in France, since I could talk comfortably to the people (yes, not being comfortable with the language is way more discomforting than displaying one's genitals in public).
The landscape was very beautiful. The people there were mostly youngish couples (30s and 40s). I sat down and started talking to people in a loose circle. They were playful, and didn't hesitate to make obscene jokes or to poke fun at somebody else's body. One guy is nicknamed "small dick". Yes, ladies and gentlemen: I don't miss American PC-ness at all. (expect a rant soon about racial jokes meant and *TAKEN* as being all in good fun)
Anyway, I met a cute 23-year-old girl from Recife and got her number.
Wednesday
A couple of hours ago, I received a call from Matthias from Munich, who I met in Porto (aka Oporto). He's coming to Brazil next month, so I'm planning to show him around. Maybe he can introduce me to the mysterious German tourists that linger in Recife. (it's believed that they get spoiled by the warm-weather/cheap-sex-slave combination)
