My birthday

For the "gauchos" reading the blog, happy Gaucho Day! Here, in the other side of the world, it's not holidays. But everybody around me have heard a little bit about Brazilian history and the "Farroupilha" Revolution already ;o)

“Mostremos valor, constância
Nesta ímpia e injusta guerra
Sirvam nossas façanhas
De modelo a toda a terra”
Hino Rio Grandense

Talking about my birthday, it's always good to feel more mature, experienced and serene than last year, especially recapturing how much has happened in the last 12 months.

But besides the good feeling, my birthday couldn't pass without some sort of celebration, right? Even not counting with the famous strawberry cake, the party was quite joyful! Around 20 people showed up last Wednesday evening, amongst foreign interns, AIESEC members, neighbours, flatmates and work colleagues. Neighbours brought cake and, with Jhow's help, we had a good amount of Brazilian music and some caipirinha (by the way, these were the most expensive limes I have ever bought!). There was even a "chão, chão, chão"!

Another very nice thing was to be surprised by lovely emails and calls from everywhere. Thanks a lot for that, my friends!!!
