Brazilian Folk Story

Saci Perere is a black child and one of the most famous characters from Brazilian folk stories. The Saci Perere legend was originated among the indigenous tribes in the south region of Brazil.
Saci Perere is considered to be playful but in some parts of my country he is seen as an evil being. He has one leg, smokes pipe and wears on his head a red hood that gives him magical powers like disappear and appear anywhere. Also, he turns into a bird called Mati-Tapere. This bird song echo goes in all directions making that way impossible to find its location. Saci loves to do tricks like hiding toys, pour salt on the kitten, making noises, frightens travelers and so on.
According to the legend Saci is in a swirling wind and can be caught by throughing a sieve over the swirls. After getting him one must remove his hood in order to have his obedience and keep him in a bottle. There are others saying about this legend such as the place where Sacis are born. They say they born in Bambus and live there for seven years. After this time they live seventy seven years more to annoy the humans and animals life. When they die they become mushroom.
Despite Saci’s jokes he does not practice in order to harm someone. As the myth says he is also an important knowledgeable of herbs from the forest. He controls and keeps all his knowledge. If someone enter in the forests in search of those herbs they should ask Saci’s permission, otherwise the person would became a victim of Saci’s plays.

My Ideal Vacation

The ideal vacation for me would be a trip which I am prepared for it. It is important to have a well planned shedule as have everything that could be useful there. That way I would not waste my time looking for something else. I also would like to go with one or more friends who could enjoy and be with me all the time. It is better to have someone who we can talk and explorer together. To finalize, it would be perfect to go in place that is hot with many beaches. I love swimming and going on adventures activities such as hiking riding jet ski and so on.

Barra do Una Beach

Barra do Una Beach is located 147 km from Sao Paulo city. It is one of the most beautiful beaches on the north coast with crystal waters and white sands.
There you can do many things such as bout tours in the Montao de Trigo, Couves or Alcatrazes islands. It has great place for snorkeling and hiking too. It is a quite village good for walking and riding a bicycle. Another advantage of being at this small place is the easy access to the stores and supermarkets. There is no need to waste money with public transportation. Also, you can enjoy delicious and fresh sea food. Barra do Una offers direct contact with the nature. I grew up there and I loved. Everytime I go to Brazil I stay there with my family and friends.

My friend Fraud Experience

My friend Hozana had a bad experience with a nanny application on the internet. She applied to a family who lived in London. After, she started contact by email with Mr.Simon. He was a con man. First, he told her a story that his wife had died in a car accident recently, so since then he had been taking care of his two kids by himself. As a consequence, having a nanny as soon as possible, with all the experices that Hozana had while working as a baby sitter for along time would be great. Simon impressed her with this story. In addtion he promissed her free time to study and a good salary. She was so excited. When he got back with his account number, she sent him the money for the application and after that she couldn't contatc him anymore. Both number and email were not valid anymore. She felt angry because he had stolen her money and she decide to do not aplied in the internet anymore.

Best Friends

Unlike our relatives, we choose our friends. I choose them carefully because I know that a relationship with a best friend can last forever. Sometimes we may grow up with a friend like I grew up with some of my best friends Estela and Ana Claudia and others times we can disvover them later in life as I did with others best friends Talita and Tatiane. It is so good to have someone that tou can trusth and that will be there always for you. Either in sad or happy moments. I love them so much and for me they are more than best friends they are part of my family and I always says to them that " Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave and impossible to forget".

Superstition In Brazil

There are many superstition in my country Brazil. Some of them are part of daily life. Superstition is something which comes from grandparents to grandmother or between friends. A superstition person belives anything that people says. Some polupar superstiion in my country is "right foot"/. For example, we must either get in or out of some house with the "right foot" to brings luck. If you enter with the left one it means bad luck. Another superstition is "hot ear". If all of a sudden your ears get hot that would mean for us that someone has been talking about us. It doesn;t really has to be mean or good thinh. When that happens people usually starts telling some suspicious name until the ears stops getting hot. But one superstiion that I like is when your left hand scratching cause that means you are going to have an extra money. Those are some of many others superstitions we have in Brazil

Six Flags

Yesterday I and more two friends went to the theme park Six Flags in New Jersey. It was really nice and the weather was perfect. Six Flags is a really nice park and it also contains wild safari animal park and Hurricane Harbor water park. It was my third time there and I am not tired of going in all those cool rides. Six Flags its well known for its rollers coasters and thats why you can find more than fourteen differents rollers coasters. I liked almost all of them but I would like to mention three that I think you should go. They are: Kinda Ka, El Toro and Nitro. But remember, that does not aply for people who has heart problem haha just kidding. Those rides are really fast, but you should be fine!!

Lady Gaga Concert

Last month I had the chance to go to the Lady Gaga concert at Nassau Collisium in Long Island. I wasn't expecting anything like that for the weekedend since I handn'd planned anything. Actually I even didn't know about her concert. It was at noon on Saturday 23th when a girlfriend texted me saying that a friend of hers had an extra ticket for Gaga concert and that she was going to sell it for $80. Well, i didn't think twice. I definately got a great deal for who wasn't going anywhere that saturday night. She sang the best musics such as born this way, alerrandro, bad romance and so on. I did like so much!!
