OUTBOUND ROTARY EXCHANGE STUDENT

OUTBOUND ROTARY EXCHANGE STUDENT - VANESSA PLUMMER
	Hi everybody, Still on hoildays, having alot of fun and going out alot. It has been nice to be able to sleep in once and a while. Most mornings now im going for a swim before going out after lunch. New exchange students have started to arrive, so I will be meeting them soon. At the moment I have been spending alot of time with Alice(she lives in my apartment). Last Saturday at lunch, some of the family came over, which also meant that Bruno(Nephew of Tereza) and his old host family from the USA came over. So that was a nice surprise being able to translate what people were saying and having different people to talk to. It was a good lunch. Following lunch I went to a family party where I met an Australian and his wife, so it was good to be able to talk with him for a while. It was funny when I arrived at the party as at least 5 different people came up to me and told me to go and met the australian from Sydney, and they pointed in his direction, and I guess who he was from what he was wearing, boardies and surf jumper I found it quite funny. we do have very different dress sence to Brasilians. I miss the casual look. DID YOU KNOW? The Christ the Redeemer, the statue overlooking Rio de Janeiro, is regarded as one of the seven wonders of the modern world.The statue was created by French sculptor Paul Landowski. The Christ the Redeemer is the monument that best symbolizes Brazil. Must be going, hope everyone is well and enjoying the football! Vanessa Plummer
