My favorite vacation place

In this summer I went to Río de Janeiro in Brazil with my boyfriend Alvaro. I stayed for two weeks in Copacabana street, specifically in Brazucas hostal. I traveled three days by bus. It is very cheap, but it is not very comfortable. Rio de Janeiro is the most beautiful place I have been
in my life. The weather is very hot and humid. The people are very nice and generous. I liked very much the culture of country. The life is very expensive, I saw a lot of poor people sleeping in the rich street.
I visited a lot of beaches, the Corcovado hill, the downtown and the Maracaná stadium. I met a lot of people of many different countries around the world. In my room a woman from Israel slept and one boy from United States. The relations there were very interisting and special.

Me and the earthquaka in Chile

I was in my summer vacations, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, when I heard about the earthquake in Chile. I woke up early in the morning, very hungry and tired, because last night I was in a party club dancing with my friends, so I walk to the hostel’s kitchen to get some milk and bread. A Jewish girl from Israel stops me and said: “Did you hear the news? There was an earthquake in Chile! The scientists on the tv said that it was one of the greatest earthquakes of all times, something like the number 5 of all human history”.
I got paralyzed, and I didn’t say anything. Some seconds later I finally recovered and I said her: “You have got to be kidding!” She looked at me very serious and response: “No, I am not. I’m sorry”. In that moment, all my day and my life changed forever.
