I have been fortunate enough to make really good friends here in Paris. It's not the number of friends... it's the quality. Isabelle; whom I work with, and Roseni have introduced me to the wonderful world of Brazilian culture- one I am now very intregued by. These are some of my fabulous Brazilian experiences this past fall... and a few random others.
One Saturday night, Isabelle, Roseni, some of their Brazilian friends, and I graced Le Cabaret Sauvage with our presence. What a neat venue... it has this cabaret style roof top over the main stage / dance floor.


The featured sound that night was Brazilian Samba music. About 3-4 groups played the sweet sound of Samba music as the people danced around them- 360 degrees. What an amazing dance that is. I couldn't stop staring at people's feet as they samba'd their way to the music. Now I must say, I normally have rhythm- but this dance was impossible for me to master. One of Roseni's friends tried giving me a little samba lesson... hahaha.. oh man, FAIL. Well, he said I was getting the hang of it, but it is really confusing!!! I highly recommend giving it a shot.. haha.. you will see what I am talking about!!! It was good fun with good people though!

Yes that is Isabelle almost falling asleep in the background- she pretty much did sleep for a few hours of the night... She had a long day!

This group was my favorite... I will be putting up mini videos on youtube and will post the links soon.

Me :)


It is always me suggesting the restaurants we go to - for our Friday night ritual - but for once... it was Roseni's turn. Of course, she picked a Brazilian restaurant. So we went to Gabriella's. It was delicious food with a superb decor.

I don't know if you can tell, but he's wearing headphones :)

This is the wall behind the toilet in the bathroom!!!! Neat!!!! The wall you face while you're on the toilet is even more interesting.... but this blog is rated PG- so I won't post the other picture... unless there is a high demand for it.

Another one of our evenings with with Miss Flavia! She had a flight Brazil to Paris and then took the train back to London where she is currently living. We went to the Frog and the Princess that night for a fun little evening! Group picture in the street!

Another Brazilian experience was this one: Roseni making us Brazilian style hamburgers!!! Woahhhh.. calories galore...but boy were they good! On theirs they had mayo, mustard, meat, cheese, fried egg, ham, bacon, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce!!! On mine they substituted the bacon and ham for turkey... how sweet :)
And I made the yam and potato fries!!!!

Diogo was diggin them!

MMmmmmmm.. the mater pieces.

For Diogo's going away party... we decided to go BOWLING!!!!!!!!! Or "booling" as the french would pronounce it!

As you can see on Isabelle's face...she was not impressed that Diogo and I were goofing off around her as she was aiming for a strike. hehe

Just pure randomness

And good times :)

Loving this picture

And the final score... yeah... I suck!

All in all... I have had such a wonderful time here in Paris. These are a snippit of the experiences I have had and will treasure!
