Many travels and many money

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!

Happy the new years!

After we wake up after big Texas party, Wayne is saying he is hurting in the legs and in his back from all the riding of the wild bulls. I am hurting in the legs too, from dancing too much!

We eat big big breakfast and then we get in car and start to drive to the Mexico. Wayne say he has cousin in Mexico we can celebrate the new year evening with. It is still very hot and I fall asleep in car for many hours. When wake up, we are in the Mexico already! I like the Mexico because there is so many the different colours everywhere and so much music. Wayne say he thinks the music it is called the Mariachi, and is special for the Mexico. We stop at small shop so Wayne can buy the map to find the place of his cousin and I walk around and look at things. Outside shop there is the guy who wears a very big hat and colourful cape, but I think he is the sleeping. He has very bad breath! When Wayne comes back, he explain that the very big hat is called the sombrero, and the cape is not cape but clothing called poncho. So many new words! Wayne also say that sleeping man has the bad breath because he is the drunk, maybe from drinking too much the tequila. I feel sorry for man sitting in sun with the bad breath so I wake him up and give him some TicTac. I think he likes. He take one the TicTac then shake the box like Micha and make rhythm so I take out flute I make of the boxes TicTac and play him little tune. He smile and shake box in time, then fall asleep again. Wayne say we have to drive more to get to cousin so we have to leave. As we go to car I can hear sleeping man snoring very loud, but I don’t think his breath smell the bad anymore. We drive for many the hours and I think the Mexico is beautiful country. In evening we get to the ranch of Wayne’s cousin, but no one is home. We sit in shade in front of house and eat some food and wait. 11 o’clock in evening Wayne cousin return with her husband and kids and they are all very very happy to see Wayne! The children of Wayne cousin have bag full of fireworks and candy and by midnight we celebrate the New Years evening with loud bangs and many strange but delicious snacks! Micha like the food Mexican because it is little bit spicy! I ask for the recipes and Wayne cousin say she will write down for me so I can make the food Mexican in Uzbekistan for family when I get home. After fireworks and food, Wayne and cousin and cousin husband start drinking the tequila in some strange competition eating the lime and salt and they are all shouting and having fun. I think of family back in homeplace, and I miss Micha mum a little bit, and brother and sister. I not sure of the difference of time, so maybe Micha family getting ready for the celebrating the new years in village? After while Wayne and cousin and cousin husband stop playing the competition tequila and get ready to go to bed. I am not sure who won and ask Wayne but he laugh and say that they all won. That sounds like good competition! I fall asleep thinking of what new adventure I will have in 2010. Happy the new year world from the Micha!

The wild bulls

Today we arrive in the Texas and it is very very hot! Everything here is so big. Wayne is very excited and tries to find the rodeo to see cowboys. We stop at shop and ask for the directions. In shop they are selling many guns! Wayne says this is normal in America but I am a bit worried because I don’t like the getting shot! A guy in shop ask me where I am from and he say he has heard of Uzbekistan. He then ask which state it is in! Maybe he don’t know where the Uzbekistan is after all? I am happy because the weather is the nice so I do little dance in front of shop until Wayne get the direction and we drive off again. An hour later we arrive at the rodeo with the riding of the wild bulls. What a crazy show! Many cowboys sitting on bulls trying not to be thrown off. There is also the clowns running around, and everybody wearing the cowboy hats. Wayne decide he too try the riding the bulls. He sit on bull and when doors open he get thrown off almost straight away. Lucky the bull don’t step on Wayne when he is on ground. After getting up, Wayne tells me that he is in much pain but that he have fun and ask, does Micha want to ride? I think for little while but maybe it not good idea. Micha not cowboy but boy from Uzbekistan who plays the boxes TicTac.
Wayne wants to go more on wild bulls so I stand behind rodeo and try to get Texans to play music with me. In beginning they all look at Micha like he is the crazy, but soon many the people join in. A girl with the banjo and a guy with the accordion show me Texan songs and we play for long time. Texans know how to party. They call it the hoedown and everybody is dancing and shouting and being happy. It almost like street party in Uzbekistan.
In evening we have the big barbecue with lots of food and more music. The boxes TicTac are popular instrument now. As we are eating, Wayne, who is sore everywhere after falling off the wild bull many times, ask if we should do the New Years in Mexico because it is close to the Texas.
Micha adventure continues!
