Brazilian Performance and Farewell

Today it was awesome. We had a Brazilian performance tonight at school, it was like a farewell because we are going back to Brazil next week, sad, so our hosts parents were invited to come to school and after we eat the foods we started our show, hahahaa, we sang the National and Pernambuco Anthem and one by one spoke something to our hosts parents or the people of school. We also had Frevo dance, Swingueira, The doll dance with the song "Jogo de Cintura" and we danced "Largadinho, Claudia Leite" it was perfect I liked so much the dances and the best one for me was The doll dance despite I made a mistake during the dance and stopped the song before they had end it oh my gosh I couldn't help myself to stop blame me for that. I made a video to show the some photos of the moments we spent here, together or with our hosts families or in the snow and stuff. Two of us sang "Anunciação" it was awesome I loved they singing this song and we sang together "Boa Sorte/Good Luck and O Sol". I guess it was a great night for all of us, our hosts parents were there, the principal; Ms Brokenshire and Mr. Flyubjera our good father here. Everything looks like farewell, last moment, this makes me feel sad because everybody knows that I love this place, I love this people, I love my friends. I am always thinking how it will be when we arrive in Brazil, how the school will be without them, how I am gonna feel. It is just missing seven days to the end of the best part of my life. I don't know how I will live without them.

The Insect Play - Video

The Insect Play

Last week I went to school at night with some of my friends to watch the drama performance "The Insect Play" we Brazilians that have drama class were working in the production like with the lights and make up but we didn't do much. The performance was really cool we had some friends acting for me they did very well I really liked. I always like this kind of things and this was one of the reasons I took drama at school I want to keep doing that when I go back to Brazil and even if I don't take it professionally I would like to do it like a hobbie. I guess the people here have more opportunity in this kind of things because they have it at school and they can do it since early age. The bad thing is that in my city we don't have theatre and stuff I guess only a few cities had it and this make the things hard. When I was watching "The Insect Play" I couldn't think this was made in the classroom at school because for me it was really professionally it was pretty good. 

Protest against Brazil's government in Christchurch

At the moment like everyone knows I guess it is happening a lot of protests in Brazil against the government, the corruption, the current life conditions and the building of stadiums to the World Cup. Everything started when the price of the bus fare increased $ 0,20 cent. I am really proud about the population because finally they woke up, finally the Brazilian people want to change the wrongs things in our country, want get better than actually we are and we can't move in silence I was waited for this moment I always wanted to see the people waking and saying I deserve better I want a better education, better schools, hospitals and when I saw that million people were and still are going to the street to complain about the current Brazil situation I couldn't feel more happy and I sayid by myself I should help them I need find out some way to show them I agree with the protests that I am the revolution like they are and then my friends told me about the peaceful protest was going to happen here in Christchurch I didn't think twice I just went there and made sure I was showing to all people I want a better Brazil. I liked feel doing something and I hope the people don't stop I hope they keep doing this until we get a better situation and that one day I can see a better Brazil. We are with you Brazilian people don't stop it, don't give up, this war is our.

 

Brazilians visitors

A few days ago we welcomed ten Brazilians at Hillmorton High School. They came from a Travel Agency to look up the culture and the schools of New Zealand. I am not really sure about their purposes but I know that one of them was know more about schools here to send "Exchange Students" to New Zealand like I am right now. We welcomed them with the "Haka" we sang in Maori some songs and after we had a kind of breakfast to start "our small trip" around the school. We were divided by two students in my case; Me and Matheus and visitor that was Mariana from São Paulo in Brazil. So, we started go to classes and see what the students were doing, talk to the teachers and I guess they liked our school in main the class we don't have in Brazil like "Home economics", "Music" or "Mechanics". It is always really good meet other Brazilians and I really liked that day because it was different, like special and even I learned more about my school and I could see how my english improved because when we started talk to them made me remember when I arrived here that I couldn't really speak or understand almost anything and I know it is not perfect now but is quite better. After show all school to them we  stopped to take photos together and after we went to our classes because we had the last period yet. Sadless I don't know where is the photos I took but if I find out I will edit this post after.
