First Email

This is the email I sent out two days after I landed in Uberlandia:
Oi!!
It turns out the internet tonight is not wireless and they do not have skype, but this weekend I will have both and will be available to skype. My flights were great, although the layover in Sao Paulo was death. I went through security three hours early and it turned out there was nothing on the other side but a window overlooking the tarmac. No outlets to plug the Mac in so I read my three magazines cover to cover. I couldn't sleep on the Air Canada flight but it was good to be able to watch movies. I saw Up In The Air, Date Night and two hours of Bill Maher stand-up. The Uberlandia flight was interesting. We had to board a bus that took us to our plane and it looked like a private jet. Two seats per row on the left side and one seat per on the right. I got to sit by myself and the views from that flight were unreal. Today, we went to lunch at probably the craziest restaurants I´ve ever seen. Waiters are constantly running around with different types of food and asking if you want some of it. There was an offer in between every bite I took. The food I ate could last me two days. I tried some interesting foods such as fried cheese, fried bananas and chicken hearts. To my surprise, the last of those were amazing. We then went to a mall that was probably as big as the eaton center. We walked around for a while there and I looked at soccer cleats. They are cheap here and I probably will buy a pair. We then went back to their apartment, which is ridiculously nice, and basically just drank. They showed me a locally-made liquor (42.5% alc.) and I tried some portuguese port. I was able to buy some mini bottles of Peller Estates icewine at the airport (explained to the cashier that it was a gift and she helped convince someone in the store to help me buy it, very nice lady haha) and decided that it was the right time to give it to them. I gave them two bottles of white and one red. They loved it and really appreciated the gift. I haven`t been taking many pictures since I got here but I will start tomorrow. For tomorrow, I know that I will try some brazilian coffee and we might see Shrek 3 in 3D. I will skype you when I can and tell you all about it. It turns out I don't have our relatives´ emails on this account so could you please forward this to them and anyone you think would be interested. I am considering getting a blogging account but obviously can´t take care of that right now so i'll keep you posted.
Talk to you soon,
Jason
