Inte sa smart att forsoka lara sig portugisiska nar man nyss kampat med att lara sig spanska.. mest forvirrande! Men man maste ju forsoka iaf. Fast mest vill nog dem ova pa sin engelska sa slutsatsen blir ju att jag pratar portuspanska men min engelska borjar ju likna deras, kass helt enkelt.

men men, de kanske e de storsta problemet jag har har utanfor Sao Paulo i Sorocaba. Kom val hit for lite mer an 2 veckor nu sa har ju hunnit fa i mig en hel del caipirinhas. Caipirinha gor man av Cachaza o massa socker o sa pressar man massa lime o sa is.

Brasilianare e for harliga dom. de ater o ater o de e svart att fa ga hungrig i nagra minuter. o de berattar garna att de gillar o ata sa mycket att de bara blir lite fetare o fetare varje gang, men de gor inget for de e ju sa gott. Redan andra dagen fick vi ata oss feta o belatna pa ett barbeque stalle har som heter OK. De va nar far min fortfarande var har ocksa. Sa vi va pa middag med nagra lagom viktiga personer har pa dynapac o pappa. Herregud, de slangde ju kott pa en. Forst ska man ata sallad, jordens storsta sallad bord, hittade tom sushi till min stora lycka! sen ploppa de upp massa smaplock pa bordet hela tiden. de gillar ju friterat o ost, o friterad ost, ratt sa bra har! Sen sa kommer de till bordet med olika sorters stora kottbitar de skar upp av o glatt ger till en. man har en liten skylt man antingen kan ha pa gront o Ja tack, for mera mat, eller rod for Nej tack nar man kanner sig nojd. men det dar systemet ar ju inget man ska lite pa. var stod pa rod hela middan o jag har aldrig sett sa mycket kott i hela mitt liv. De hade en liten karta pa en ko o alla dess olika kottdelar man kunde ata o de servera nog allt dar, aven kycklinghjartan om man tycker det later gott? Benjamin pastod det... jag vet inte riktigt. I borjan tyckte man val att de kunde va kul o testa de mesta, men de gick ju inte. o nar man kande sig som mest matt kom ju tydlgen de absolut godaste man bara va tvungen o prova. nar man antligen lyckats saga nej till allt kott rullade de ju in desserbordet. da hade de ju sjalvklart en speciell papayacreme med korsbarslikor efterratt som man bara maste prova.. o helt plotsligt hade man ju bestallt en san ocksa, men en va god creme de papaya com cassis.

Va riktigt matt nar jag kom hem o da va de ju annu jobbigare o badda upp sangen som de baddar at en varje dag, valdigt hart! ocksa ett av de stora problem jag har. Dynapac har ju satt oss pa ett hotell som de snallt betalar eftersom vi e trainees. De ligger nastan mitt pa bargatan o i stort sett pa shoppingmallens parkering. De stadar o viker klader o baddar at en varje dag. jag har det for jobbigt ibland.

Har pa dynapac har jag gjort ritningar utifran fardiga modeller av valtarna i ett CAD program som heter Pro Engineer, PTS. typ som solid works fast enda inte. men tror inte de finns nagra delar kvar o rita upp nu sa nu lagger jag in alla delar i ett annat program typ.

Har inga riktigt bra bilder pa hur jag har det har men ni kan ju forestalla er en stad, med lite ratt sa harliga klassksillnader pa sina hall. men vi har inga favelas, dem har de skicakt till sao paulo. o sa lite smaskumpiga vagar, lite palmer har o dar o trad med stora blommor i massa massa farger, o en stor sol som varmer upp till runt 30 grader.Men ibland regnar det, oftast pa kvallen.. forra veckan va det storm, blixt o dunder som aldrig forr.. fyyy igar va det nastan annu mer storm...

Jo vi va ju pa pappas presskonferans i Sao Paulo nar han va har ocksa. jag tyckte han skotte sig fint. o sa var det lunch o lite for mycket champagne kanske. Efter dynapacs stahej gick jag pappa o benjamin till en mall, korde lite formelett bil i en spelhall, hitta en choperia med brahma black.

Nada Xau, som vi sager har pa dynapac

ja jag har inte skrivit pa ett bra tag o jag skyller pa hojden min hjarna funkar inte ritktigt eeh? man tycker ju att jag skulle kunnat skicka in ett litet inlagg iaf under de 30h jag suttit pa internet sakert haha efter all dotid jag haft :P men jag tankte att de enda som laser min blogg varje sondag, min kara momma o offa, e ju o solar pa kanarieoarna nu sa da kan jag ta min tid innan jag skickar in nasta, men nu blir de ju da dessvarre valdigt langt... jaja

jag har iaf lyckats hitta min mamma o tagit mig till puno, mamma den stackarn klarade inte riktigt hojden lika bra som jag o ligger darfor nu pa hotellet o vilar upp sig for att kunna ta nya tag o orka ga ut o ata middag.

sist var jag visst i la paz o d har ju hant en hel del sen sist, allt kanske man inte behover namna har men jag kan ju forsoka plocka ut nat minnesvart iaf.

jag var i la paz, o jaaa.. dar e d billigt! vi at middag pa gatan av nan liten bolivians dam med ett rullande gatukok, hela 3kr kostade det! vi trodde vi skulle bli ruinerade... sa dan efter beslot vi oss for att ge oss uppp pa hogre hojder, fattigare folk o aven billigare maltider. Stina hade ju berattat hur goda saltenas ar (de ska vara ungefar som empanadas fast godare?!) sa vi tankte att vi kopte en dar uppe sa vi fick en god frukost. Efter 2 brosk o annu lite mer slemklumpar, o jag tror det skulle finnas kyckling ocksa? bestamde vi oss for att vi skulle nog slanga resten o aldrig mer kopa mat pa hoga billigare hojder, hade kanske vart vart att betala dubbla priset, 2kr, o kanske fa en lite mer delux, mindre slemmig o utan brosk.. men har man atit kycklingknan i thailand kunde man val ha atit den med?!

johanna passade aven pa att bli sjuk nar vi satt pa en liten arabisk restaurang. hon sa att de va ett migrananfall o berattade precis vad som skulle handa for oss. o mycket riktigt sa domnade hennes fotter o hela alltet hon beratade o hon blev konstig o hon satt dar, konsentererad till 200% for att pricka vattenglaset med munnen! vi fragade lilla pojken som jobbade dar om de hade nan bra tablett o han svarade glatt att han skulle springa ivag o kopa en, o nagra minuter senare kom han tillbaka med en kopp varmt vatten o en liten tabltett som jag faktistk tror funkade. (vi undrar fortfarande var det var i?) vi fick hem johanna o gubben pa hostellet sprang snabbt o hamtade en uttvattad bajspappershink som johanna kunde spy i ifall detta blev nodvandigt. som tur va slapp hon det...!  nu pa senare hand tror vi dock att de va hojdskuka men jag vet inte?
forutom allt detta kul ar shoppa det enda man kan gora i La Paz. Mycket baby alpaca, hecho mano, todo el dia blev det iaf! tur var val det eftersom vi fick god anvanding av alla vara mossar vantar o halsdukar vi kopt pa varat kanske inte sa jattevarma hostel.

men jag blev sedan tvungen att lamna min kara johanna i la paz o hon och stina fortsatte deras resa och jag begav mig tillbaka till santiago.

stannade till i iquique en natt i hopp om att fa traffa palo men de verkade itne ga att fa tag pa henne sa slutade med att jag tog mig till stranden dar jag lag o brande sonder mig sjalv hela dagen. nar jag var nast intill dod bestamde jag mig for att chansa pa att ingen skulle sno mina saker om jag gick o svalkade mig o som tur var, var allting kvar nar jag kom upp igen.
jag satt dar o vantade pa solnedgangen nar 2 chilenska familjer borjade prata me mig de va valdigt trevliga, ska forresten gifta mig med deras 15ariga son om 5 ar nar alderskillnaden inte ar lika stor, han vantar sa garna sa. far val se hur han hittar mig i stockholm sen da? ne men eftersom ja inte hade nat battre for mig gick jag hem o hade once (kvallsfika) me dom haha =) ja men va ska man gora helt jalv o overgiven pa ett helt dott hostell i iquique?
dar bjods jag iaf pa salami, ol, vin, rom o cola, kycklingsoppa o massa annat gott. hade d riktigt trevligt. rolig historia det dar hehe ;)

mindre roligt va det att ta sig hem till santiago eftersom tydligen ville hela iquique aka dit pa helgen sa efter 2 dagar pa flygplatsen fick jag antligen en biljett. da hade redan mamam landat i santiago o gick val omkring dar helt lost, som ur var valdigt trott eftersom hon rest hela dagen sa vi hade val inte kunnat gora sa mycket da iaf.
kom iaf antligen fram till halriga marriot mitt i natten pa lordagen dar o tog glatt emot de 5stjarniga hotellest UNDERBARA sangar o duntacke!! lite annat an en gammal traplanka i svinkalla la paz!

jag vet inte hur bra guide jag var at mamma i Santiago, men vi kom iaf upp till den storsta turistatraktionen Cerro San Cristobal. Va mer ska man hitta pa, e ju inte varldens finaste o roligaste stad precis. men vi tog oss aven en rundtur dar o tittade pa byddnader o halsade pa atlas copco. en dag akte vi aven till valparaiso, vilket ar mycket finare at se pa iaf =)
det var kul att visa mamma runt aven fast hon var vadligt orolig att vi inte skulle komma till puno... men nu riktiar vi in oss pa de trevliga stunderna pa resan istlallet!

sa vi kanske ska hoppa oever iquique o bussresan till puno sen. det var dessutom under den trevliga bussfarden bland alla gjorde en johanna o sov som en stock hela vagen! borjar bli lite van med bussar nu, o den har va lite mer lyxigare an de man fick vanja sig vid i bolivia! hade aven en snall peruanare framfor mig som tyckte att vi skulle frysa eftersom vi itne hade 100 filtar me oss sa hon gav oss 2 varma dunkappor vi varmde oss med under den 11h langa farden =)

nu ar jag da antligen i Puno! hela dagen igar var mamam sangliggande o jag fick ga o utforska den mycket roliga (men las jattetrakiga..o ratt fula faktiskt) staden sjalv.. hamnade pa nat litet stalle dar de tog 40minuter att gora en nachotallrik o sedan gav jag upp o satte mig pa internet resten av dagen hehe
pa kvallen fick jag iaf ut mamma o at en 4 ratters jategod middagm fisk, soppa avokado, sallad o frukt o hela koret for dyra 30kr! det ar dyrt att ligga pa topp!

idag har vi besokt uros oarna. de ar flytande sma oar som folket bygger sjalva av rotterna av graset som vaxer i sjon, rotterna flyter namligen. dar bor de pa sina oar o gor allting av de dar graset eller vassen eller vad man nu kallar det. de bygger on, huset, ater det, gor massa grejer de kan salja, allt gor de me det! de har aven sma toaoar dar de kan ga o gora sina behov, men de maste de branna ner efter 2 manader ungefar. de vanliga oarna haller i 20-25 ar typ sen maste de bygga en ny. helt otroligt att folk kan leva sadar!
pa eftermiddagen akte vi till massa gamla ruiner typ. de byggde torn o massa grejer.. jatteintressant men de kan vi ju ta nan annan gang. pa vagen tillbaka halsade vi pa hos en familj som levde dar ute i ingentans o at sina marsvin. marsvin ar for ovrigt en delikatess har, nagot jag inte tanker prova dock, tror jag haller mig till deras goda fisk!

eum ja detta blev ju ett langt kanske lite mindre intressant inlagg men jag ska forsoka fa liv i min stackars mor nu o kanske fa lite mat i mig. imorron aker vi till cusco med en buss hela dagen. vi gick till ett apotek o jag tror jag lyckades kopa aksjuketabletter till mamma, det lar ju visa sig imorron om inte annars...

puss o slem du vet vem

Im sitting at a internetcafe waiting for getting on my bus to la Paz. We just ate lunch at a restaurant here in town. We ordered the menu for today so first we got sallad and bread, then rice soup with potato and meat, then spaghetti with salsa and meat and then vanilla pudding for dessert. All this cost us 10 bolivianos whis is like 10 swedish crowns!!

the last 3 days have been AMAZING! I just had to tell you that...!

we went from la serena, the party town where noone could find the party. And from there up to San Pedro the Atacama. We met 2 girls from england on the bus and spent an hour walking around trying to find a good cheap hostel but in the end we were back were we started and decided to stay there.
4 in the morning the next day we went to Tatio Geysers to watch the sunrise, all the geysers and to swim in the hot thermas, it was great! Im not sure what kind of energy we used to survive the rest of the day but first we were planning on doing sandboarding and see the sunset and all these things San Pedro is offering you. But it never happened... so after doing nothing all day except walking around trying to change money and book the uyuni tour, we bought some mango sour and went to our hostel totally overtired and had a fun time there instead.

Now to the amazing uyuni tour! I will problably never ever in my life experience something that cool again!
It was THE tour! We stratedin a bumpy white minivan, untill we came to the bolivian border. There we got to throw all our backpacks on the roof of an jeep and strat our journey. We were a really fun gang in our jeep. It was me from stockholm, johanna from gotland, a girl from england, one boy from france, one from belgium and one from brazil. We had tons of fun!
We saw green lagunes, red lagunes, falmingos and dessert and dessert and mountains and more lagunes. We went to geysers 5200 meters above sea level and it was snowing! The Braziliean guy in our jeep just started to dance and jump around, halleluja moment! It was the second time in his life he saw snow. We stoped for lunch and dipped our feets in the hot thermals.
That was just the first day. We stayed ina very basic hostel in the middle of the dessert. It didn’t have any showers and the toilets were filled with poop, but at least there were some beds and million of stars outside the window! You can really see the milkyway from here, and it is like a 100 times more stars here than it is in sweden.
Everyone in my room went to bed at 20.40!! it was impossible for me to sleep that early..! so after freezing my ass off under the stars I went to bed, under my 5 blankets, and listened to music, thank you Emelie, you’re the best!

The second day we had to drive a lot! And it had been raining so it was like driving in a muddy lake. So we were sitting there, listening to the soundtrack of uyuni, titanic in techno version, eating lollipops with bubbelgum and just wondered how the heck he knew where he was driving. Our car broke down a couple of times but our good driver managed to fix it every time! But there were times I thought I never was going to see “land” again. And I don’t know why, but the driver must have loved driving in the water because if there was a dry path and one filled with water he would definetly go for the one with all the water! First we thought it was because he didn’t want to get stuck in the mud so it was better to go where it was water because then you know its good enough to keep the water from sinking but then a car passed us and everytime the other car avoid the water, our went for a swim. After a while you could really hear how the engine was flooded with water and I think it was a miracle we made it all the way to uyuni!
After swimming in the mud for some hours we took a road called tum-tum. It got its name bacause the entire car and everything in it just went tum-tum, bumping around on all the rocks.
We stopped in a little town called San Juan. Our driver really wanted to stay there, I think he had a lovr there or something. But after som deliciuos 100% coffe with bolivian milk powder we kept going towards the salt hotel.
Finally we came to the salt hotel in the salt dessert, salar de uyun. In the salt hotel everything was made from salt. The floor, the table with chaits, the beds, evverything! it was really cool!
The next morning we were supposed to look at the sunrse but it was cloudy so we slept a little bit longer instead. At first it was just all white and covered with water in the salt desset. But then when the sun found its way through all the clouds it was like driving in heaven. Everything reflected so it looked like you were driving on the clouds, and when other cars passed by it looked like they were flying. It was soo cool! Totally amazing! We stopped at an island, filled with giant cactus and took really SWEET picture! When Im in santiago and have a faster computer I will definetly upload them. I cant describe with words.. you should have been there!
We danced around in heaven for a while just enjoying life.. it was amazing!

Everything was very high above sea level so it was a little bit har to get used to at first. We got a little bit dizzy sometimes and it was a pain in the ass to walk around. You got exhausted after 10 meters.
Our driver was good, he didn’t fell asleep, we never saw him drinking vodka. He also had a girl named Jovanna who cooked for us. We liked her even though she ate all our food. Good thiing we had the brasiliean cookie king. He didnt give up untill y ou ate his cookie =) it was great! I miss them already!

The only problem we have had here in uyuni is to get away from here! We wanetd to go to Potosi and the silver mine but they didnt have any tickets today.. so then we were thinking of going to oruru, but no luck there either. everyone just wants to get out of here. so in the end we just wanted to get somewhere! finally we booked a ticket to la paz, a night bus, even though they are strongly not recomended because they say its dangerous. We just want to get as far away from this place as we can right now so we have a lovely 16 hours bus drive to La Paz to look forward too this friday night! lovely! it will probably take even longer because its rainy season so the roads are very bad and muddy...

I'll let you know how it was when i arrive to La Paz, if I arrive... if not?
