My Carnaval Holidays!!

March 6, 2006

Well, I spent my Carnival holidays on the beach (Riviera de São lourenço) with my friends who left school last year. On the Riviera there are many apartments, it’s quite a big condominium and quitefun. I stayed almost 1 week but we had classes so we returned to Sao Paulo.
We rode a bike all the time and all over the place: on the beach, to go to the little mall…

Carnival in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro is a beautiful and traditional occasion for the Brazilians. Every year we have school of samba parading in the sambodromo. All the schools participate in a championship during which the best wins, but to win it is very hard because there are many criteria to be fulfilled. This year in Rio de Janeiro the winner was "Beija flor", and in São Paulo the winner was (I think) "Imperio da casa verde".. I´m not sure. I’d like to see the championship once because the avenue is colorful(most of times it is yellow, blue and green= the color of Brazil).

I enjoy Carnival very much because we don´t have school and we can do anywhere we want…And see a lot of people that we couldn´t see in period of class.

Hello there…

My name is Rafaela… and I’m 16 years old. I have brown hair and brown eyes. I study at Lycée Pasteur…and I live in Sao Paulo.
Well… I enjoy all types of food… especially Japanese food and Arabian food but I can’t resist Brazilian food either. Have you tried feijoada?

I love listening to music when I’m tired, and when I am in my room…
My favorite singers are Jack johnson
(favorite song: banana pancakes),Seal (Get it together),train (she is on fire), and others.
But what I like the most is going out with my friends, going the movies and in the mall. It is pretty fun.

I love tv shows like Smallville and Prison Break. When I’m not at school I enjoy cooking, I practice sports like volley ,I swim at the club and play soccer.

Now you know a little bit more about me!!!!!!
