The Clog

This started as a blog about living abroad for 7 months, but the reality of getting a job has me talking about other topics while in between countries. (Above photo taken on return trip from Mexico, 2008. Looks like castles in the sky.)

friend is a four letter word

yes, there are good things to say about brazil. but right now, i need distance to see those good things. one of the hardest parts about living here is making true friends. friends here do things that me and my friends back home would never do to each other. they steal from you, talk about you behind your back, sleep with your husband or boyfriend, and rat you out to the police. they will invite you over for dinner and the next day, arrange for someone to rob your house. i feel like the people here are not real friends.

brazil is a dangerous place to live. it is still a developing country. although people don~t have a lot of money, they are lazy and don~t want to work. they say they are going to do something and it takes months to come to fruition. i don~t agree with many of the ethics here....work ethics, relationship ethics, health, lifestyle, religion.....

today i~m letting it all go.
