a bunch of belgians...
THE ASIAN INVASION! me and our far east exchangers, plus eva, who is czech, but looks nothing like she is.


the croat, the german, the frenchie and our other hungarian, all at ¨mackers¨(what australians call it)


everyday, me and a lot of exchange students met at mcdonalds in savassi, and this is me with justine (our other belgian) frederique, ania, and cherry (from taiwan)
my fellow midwesterner, jon, from northfield minnesota!

brenden also plays basketball, so he´s also quite strong. i felt soo tall!

ben, me, rianti and brendon in the front, pin, frederique and ania in the back

brendon is really tall, where rianti is very short. it´s quite funy


eddie´s de novo, this time with ben from croatia as well


myself, brendon (who is a 5´8¨!) and owen...i.e. the north americans.
rianti, pin, ania and i. we´re all looking at different cameras, because with rotary, there is no such thing as just one picture. you take out your camera, and so do eight thousand other people.


a big group of exchangers in eddie´s, which is an american restaurant.


our district of exchange students eighteen in all. i won´t name each person, but there´s five people from the u.s., one from canada, one from greenland, germany, two from belgium, two from hungary, france, poland, indonesia, thailand, taiwan and austrailia


brazillian chairs aren´t too sturdy...bence from hungary was just sitting in portuguese class, and the the legs just collapsed

me and oda (norway)



more exchangers, from left to right: me, ania (from poland), frederique (belgium), rianti (indonesia) and pin (thailand)

me and florian rochet, from the south of france, after our first portuguese class


in praça de liberdade, there´s this fountain that is lined with paths on either side, leading to the gazebo. once again, the picture´s sort of dark...disculpa!

the gazebo in praça de liberdade

this is a corner right by my apartment, it has this really colorful building, and these beautiful whitish flower trees that line the street

another example of the beautiful city! that church is real old, and famous in brazil!


the capital building in bh, which is in front of this beautiful plaza, called the praça de liberdade. it´s slightly dark, sorry!


bh has a lot of cool art on the streets, this was on the side of building

belo horizonte (bh) as seen from the high rise apartment i stayed in. it´s a truly beautiful city.
