Yes dear the readers! Yesterday Micha finally get to the country Brazil and it is everything Wayne said and more. The bus drop me off in big place called the Rio de Janeiro which is on coast of the Brazil. The weather is very hot and there is people everywhere. Everybody speak the language Portuguese here, and not the Spanish. Micha like the language, it sound like singing. Maybe I learn some words to say to nice people? I ask many people to find where is the place to have the fun, and they all tell to me to go to the beach for the party. One friendly Brazilian girl say she will show me if I give her the TicTac. Her name is Ulara and she live in the Rio de Janeiro all her life. On way to beach we go by many the food places and she ask if I want to try the nice Brazil food? Micha hungry after long journey, so we sit down at street restaurant. Ulara order food and tell me it is called the feijoada. She say it is the stew made with the meat and the beans and cooking for long time. It taste great and remind me bit of Uzbek stew, but with different meat than the lambs. I eat everything and Ulara laugh and say she never see anyone eat that much so fast. After food is gone, we go down to beach. It is very beautiful, like something from the advertising, with glittering oceans and pretty people in swimming clothes. I go in water with Ulara and it is very fun. She is funny and pretty and I think that maybe I am in love with her. When we sit and dry on beach after the going swimming, I tell her that I play the music TicTac and maybe she knows if I can play the music on beach? She get very excited and say that in the Brazil everybody love the playing music and especially the playing samba. I aks what the samba is and she explain it is the music with rhythm and drums and very fun. Sounds like Micha playing the TicTac! So I get out the boxes TicTac and try to get people on beach to play. It is amazing! Everybody in the Brazil loves the music, it is true! Quickly many the people are coming to Micha asking to play with me. I show them some Micha songs and they show me some the samba songs and we TicTac samba. One guy even come and make the music like drums with his mouth called the beatboxing! Micha never see that before. And all the girls on beach dance very nice. So I keep playing the music to watch the girls doing the dance and soon it seem whole beach is having party. When evening come Micha tired from all the playing the music and Ulara say he can stay with her and Ulara family. Ulara mum is the very nice lady and make Micha food. After I eat the great Brazil food, I try to tell Ulara family about Uzbekistan and great travel adventure and the Bigfoot and treasures in mountain and the sea monster but I don’t speak the portuguese so I have to show with drawing and making acting. Ulara mum laugh so much she fall of chair! Luckily she is not hurt. Ulara younger brother Zico say maybe he will show me the football match when big game is on and say it is the best footballs team in world! I go to sleep very tired after long long day and dream of girls on beach doing the dancing. Brazil is Micha country!
Hello everybody and hello the 2010! On first day of the January everybody taking it very easy in the Mexico. Wayne family all a bit quiet. Wayne say is because they are tired from playing the competition tequila. But after lunch we all go to beautiful beach and Micha swim in sea for first time in the 2010. Wayne family nice peoples and we stay for few days and look at country and do more swimming. Wayne then tell me he want to stay with family for some times, maybe a month! I understand, because Micha like being with family too. But, Micha adventure must continue! Wayne suggest that maybe Micha go to South America? He say that in Brazil people love the music and play the songs on streets every day so I can make new friendly friends there. I don’t have no money for going all the way but I am lucky on adventures so it will work out. After week I pack bags and decide to go on new journey. I say goodbyes to Wayne family (after getting recipe for the great spicy foods) and ask the Wayne to drive me to bus station. On way in car Wayne give me small pouch and say not to open until he go away. Micha very curious and almost take the sneak look in pouch but Wayne insist I must wait. At bus station Wayne say goodbye and wish Micha the good luck with adventure and say he miss me already. Wayne good friend, I wil miss him too. He drive off and I look for bus to South America. I find ticket for bus to Guatemala and go find place to eat when waiting for bus. In café I open pouch and find many the dollars and small note. In note it say that Wayne give me the money because I help him find the treasure! I count money and it is very much! Now Micha can go all the way to the Brazil! I travel through many the countries in Central and the South America for many days on bus and using the airplane and sometimes getting the lifts with friendly people on way. South America is the biiiig country and very pretty, with smiling people and the nice girls everywhere. I learn a bit of the Spanish too, because not everybody is speaking the English, and nobody is speaking the Uzbek. I go to Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, then fly to Colombia and do the hitchhike to the Venezuela with the amazing beaches. The nature is so beautiful everywhere in the South America, it sometime look like the paradise. And place is full of old temples and the stuff from old cultures in jungles. It remind me of the Indiana Jones! Money from Wayne is the great help, and I stay in the hotel and eat the good food in restaurants and make the telephone ring to family Micha. It is nice to speak to Micha mum again – I miss sound of voice. She say everyone in the Uzbekistan are well and whole village read my the postcards from great adventure. All the pretty girls in village ask about Micha and Micha mum say I am the famous now! I must buy them all the presents when I get home. Tomorrow I am on bus to the Brazil so I am practising playing the music on the boxes TicTac so I can make some music friends when I get there. I wish I could stay in South America forever!
I’m not in Malmö any longer. It is hard to leave but world calls me. I take north of Sweden where I met Håkan yesterday. His name is Håkan and he is born in Kiruna in top of Sweden. In summer they have sunshine all day and all night. That must be great! Imagine being on beach and never have to go home because of getting dark! He is not very tanned, though. I think if you spend all day and night in sun you must use many bottles of the sun lotion, and everybody must be wearing the sun glasses, even at night! Strange but maybe fun? Håkan also tell me that in Kiruna winter, it is dark all day and all night, and no sun. People in Uzbekistan would not like that, I think. How you know when to go bed? How you grow the chickpeas for making the soup? I hope Swedish people not scared of dark then.
In evening, Håkan invite me to his home. He say he want to give me Swedish speciality food, called ‘surströmming‘. Håkan say it taste very good and is favourite of Sweden people. I am very hungry after long day playing Tictac boxes! In Håkan flat we sit at table and he brings out can of ’surströmming’ which is some kind of the fish. I like fish. But when he open can, it smell really bad! Now I am not so hungry. Håkan thinks it is funny and eats some of the smelly fish. I say thank you and eat a bit of bread instead.
When I go back to hostel in evening I see more pretty girls and now I wondering; do they all eat smelly fish too? Maybe the eating smelly fish make girls pretty? Then I bring back some ’surströmming’ to Uzbekistan.
I am in Sweden now, which is far from Uzbekistan. All the peoples are beautiful and happy, but I don’t understand their words! I’m guessing nobody speak Uzbek here.
I get hungry and go to “gatukök” to buy foods. I order nukhot shurva but they don’t making it. I thought everybodies like pea soup of Uzbekistan? But I get the balls made of meat with mashing potato. Very nice but I’ve never eaten jam with meat before!
I meet friendly policeman who say I should go to park for the celebrating Midsommer. I like park. Many blonde girls with white flowers in hair and white dress lying on grass. Everything white! For celebrating Midsommer, the Sweden people make tree covered in leaf and dance around holding hands. They sing strange song about frogs and jump around funny and say kouackackack kouackackack! I think song was funny and ask what it was about. They say it is about frogs not having ear or tail. Very strange. But we have great time and dance and sing. Fun. You can see all nice girls here
I like the Sweden. The girls are so beautiful and have the nice smile. But they don’t have the hat with the horns like the vikings. Maybe it is no more in fashions here?
