International Congress (IC) 2008 in Brazil - Rio de Janeiro

13th of August.
it was a day full of running through the city in all directions, solving problems with my dormitory, being at the LC meeting for elections of OCP of the "Moldova Training Conference" which is running for the first time in Moldova and lots of other activities...
and besides that, i didn't have money in lei to pay the taxi driver and i had to pay him in euro at a very bad rate for me :(. but finally i got to the bus station and took my bus to Kiev.
it supposed to be a long trip... and it was...

here i'll skip the details and tell only that after 12 hours of traveling by bus, 8 hours of waiting alone at the airport in Kiev, 3 hours of flying to Rome, then 3 hours of looking at the Rome's airport walls and 11 hours of flying i arrived (finally!) to my destination point - Sao Paulo.

15th of August, 4:30AM
alone, at 10000 km far away from home, my trip has started...
from 4:30AM till 6:00AM i've met plenty of persons like me, wanting for Study Tour in Rio de Janeiro to begin.

before getting to Rio, we stoped at a kind of restaurant or cafe (i don't know how to name it) where we had your lunch. each of us was a waiter for him/herself :).

it was tasty :) and it costed us only R$18 which is 108 Moldavian lei (multiply by 6).
after lunch we moved forward and finally arrived to Rio de Janeiro :)
first day we were at the famous Copacabana Beach. it was the first time i saw the ocean :)



the second day we were at the so called "Sugar Loaf", then at another famous beach of "Ipanema", then the next day at the famous (there were a lot of famous places :) stadion of Maracana and at the statue of the Christ the Redeemer. unfortunately i still have to get my photos with these places from the laptops on which i saved my photos :( so, i will upload them later.

but, if in several words - it was GREAT... if you will have the opportunity to visit Rio - don't hesitate...

so, 3 days left behind and the time has come to return to Sao Paulo...


to be continued :)...
