First Few Days

Hello,

After an epic battle to obtain a Visa to Brazil, the struggles were not over. I was screened in US Customs in Toronto, which made me miss my flight. After being convinced that I am not a terrorist, they let me go. I took another flight, but it arrived late to Houston (connection), and there was not enough time to transfer my luggage. On my fourth day in Brazil, I am waiting for the luggage to arrive today.

My roommate took me on a city tour yesterday, which was quite fun. Still, there is a lot to see, but I am trapped at home without any of my stuff. No pictures yet, since I don't have my camera.


The house I live in has a gate, an electric fence and a 24/7 guard. You know, the sort of protection an ambassador would get. I also have my own bathroom, and only one other person living in the house. I'm supposed to start my job tomorrow, but I don't know anything about it.

I hope my first post was not too boring. It's my first time writing a blog.
