FuFu Life in Curitiba - Brazil
9th August 2010 | Part Two


Silently sitting at a square in São Francisco area! ♥

It's been a week since i had arrived Curitiba on 23rd July 2010. Well, i am still looking for a room while staying with my host here in São Francisco area (just next to the Centro area). This square is just block away from the apartment where you can find historical buildings and churches. The weekly flea market of the city is taking place here too!

Besides hanging around the city centre, i love to spend half an hour or more sitting at the square watching every movement happened here in Curitiba. Tourists stopped by and snapped pictures, local came and sat on the benches, buses and cars passing by. What a life!

I know most of the people won't do this but i am a world citizen! I wanna know the lifestyle of the local and also everything (bottom up) about the city i am living now. I don't wanna simply waste my time here just doing a research project or enjoying the city like a passer by!

FuFu New Haircut in Curitiba, Brazil.

Finally i had my hair cut here in Curitiba yesterday since my last haircut 5 months ago in Frankfurt, Germany. It's thinner and shorter now. Easy to manage! I am loving my new haircut! Now i don't need to use many wax to hold my hairstyle against the strong wind here in Curitiba. So do you like the new haircut of FuFu?

p.s. 1 : I don't have acne problem now, but how to get rid of the red spots/scars caused by the pimples? Any suggestion?

p.s. 2 : Wash + Cut = R$ 10 (RM 18)

p.s. 3 : Little FuFu is loving Curitiba! Hoping the weather will be warmer. =)

♥ Botanic Garden of Curitiba

Hey guys, it's my second weekend here in Curitiba. Today, i went to Curitiba's trademark French style Botanical Garden that opened in 1991. It is one of the major tourist attractions of Curitiba and situated 3 minutes away from the condominium i am currently staying at!

Icon of the garden is the greenhouse that built in an art nouveau style with a modern metallic structure, resembles the mid-19th century Crystal Palace in London. The garden has nice paths for strolling but i wish it would not be asphalt, instead wood or stones.

So, i walked to the garden after lunch because it is a sunny day with clear blue sky. As usual, i spent most of the time taking pictures and also sitting on the bench observing every movement happened in the garden while waiting for the sunset. It's simply nice watching how beautifully the cloud dancing in the sky. The sunset was awesome too! Guess i would be the frequent visitor of the garden from now on!

Magnificent Sunset at Botanic Garden of Curitiba

I love sunset very much. I know it is short. And that makes me treasure every second until the sun willing to call it a day. Exactly as life too, we have to enjoy it to the fullest until our body couldn't function anymore. Don't wait. Do it now!

Ops, i am alone now in the apartment. Because my host is going back to his family. Why? Because today is the Father's Day here in Brazil. Keep in mind that not all countries celebrating Father's Day on the second Sunday of June.

Gonna cook something nice later before i go out snapping pictures of my new neighbourhood. It is a nice day. I may probably go back to Botanic Garden for another sunset because my friends are going there later! Wish i could see more awesome cloud formations like yesterday. I like playing with Sun now. lol

Little FuFu and his Mexican Friends

So i had spent the whole morning cleaning and organising my room. After lunch, i brought little FuFu out to Botanic Garden, meeting my Mexican friends, Carlos, David and Michelle. They all have seen my pictures with the little one, so they asked if i bring him out or not. I answered "YES". Then i introduced my little FuFu to them!

Little FuFu is happy to know new friends from Mexico. Guess i have to include Mexico in my backpacking list. I had met another Mexican friend, Tita the first week i had arrived Curitiba, Brazil. I told her that i would like to visit Mexico. Guess what sweet surprise i got from her?

Quickly she replied, "You will have a house if you go to Mexico."
"What? A house? No kidding?!", i replied while scratching my head.
She smiled and said, "Yes, my house is your house!".

Without any hesitation, i immediately gave her a tight hug! Mexicans are too friendly! I gonna treasure this friendship with them here in Brazil! Can't wait to fly to Mexico city, visiting the pyramids and enjoying Mexican's popular traditional dish - tacos! lol

p.s. 1 : Mexican girls are all pretty!

p.s. 2 : Mexicans are all party animals too! Will figure out their level later! XD
