One for all

And the World Cup has begun....

Last Thursday we could watch the opening ceremony for the World Cup...a great show, for sure...but, the real show is the matches! No-one is more addicted to soccer than us, Brazilians...yeah, we do have a very good reason for it... we are the only country with chances of becoming 6 times champion...and, we are definitely fanatics about it... Brazilian matches are a good reason for not working or studying...most stores, public buildings, schools, companies close during the games...and, if Brazil wins...there is a huge chance of not opening until the next morning! Even who is not such a big fan of soccer, becomes an expert during the World Cup...and that includes me, of course!!!!
By the way...first Brazilian match happens next Tuesday (at 3:30pm here - I guess it will be around 10:30 am in SLC and 2:30 pm.m in NH)...you are all invited to watch the game and support Brazil!! :)

Also, today is Valentine's day in Brazil (no Missy, I haven't made it official yet)... and although I don't have a steady boyfriend, me and my friends are still celebrating the date... C'mon...isn't that a good day for fondue?!?!

By the way...winter is about a month away and the temperatures have already fallen...it is sooo good to be a bit cold!!!!! 72 degrees (or 22 Celsius) feels really cold for us!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!
