litttle info on the marchesini familia:
meus pais (parents):
Raul e Lili
They are both in their mid 40s, work at USIMIAS, the local steel company as engineers. They live in a different neighborhood than my other two families, Barrio Das Àguas which is just residential and quite a way from the actually city of Ipatinga. Good thing: while everyone is at work or studying, it.is.so.quite.here. perfect for napping :) im telling you, when a car drives by in the afternoon, you are stratled by all the noise and wonder what it is until you realize someone is just passing by. Bad thing: because it is so far away from everything, i do have to either walk (a good long distance, up hillll) or take a bus (or two buses and we all know what an adventure that is)
i remember being riduclouslyyyyyy nervous to come to this family. riduclously nervous.
i remember asking if i could stay longer in my previous house, until this day or until after this hoilday. but of course i moved when the time was right
i dont exactly know why i was so nervous..
but i think it was because i didnt understand why they wanted me.
like my first family, already had an exchanger living in their house and their daughter IS an exchanger. my second family, my mom WAS an exchanger and i think she wanted to plant the idea of exchange in her childrens head. this family.. welll nothing.
but after being here and settling in (been here 10days and i am already adjusted nicely:D) they are amazing people that are willing to open their home and hearts to an american. simple as that.
..back to my parents, my dad likes to shoot guns. what a hobby that is.
there are countless trophies throughout the house; he has a real eye for the targent. he enjoys reading the newspaper at the clube on weekends and likes a tall glass of whiskey or beeer. meu pai :D
m mom is the cutest women, everrr. i remember first seeing a picture before meeting her and thinking, wow, she is brasilian.
and she is!
reallly litttle women with a latin american body frame (booty) with dark hair and creamy colored skin. the sweeetest women, always smiling, always laughing. minha mãe :D
i remember my last families saying that Raul e Lili are just really simple people.
And they are.
Simple and Wonderful
meus irmãos:
João Pedro e ViVi
my brother is recently turning 19 and just passsed his vestibular (acceptance into college) so he moved to another city about an hour away, Itabira, where i think he will be studying engineering of somesorttt. when you pass the vestibular and your a guy, you have to shave your head. ..and if you dont, someone willll. so he is recently without hair and almost always with a baseball cap on now. a really sweeet kid, sometimes odd? hah but i feeel like we are gonna become great friends! meu irmão :D
my sister is recently turning 15 and just got back from a 2wk journey in the wonderless land of America. she saw snow for the first time in NYC and held hands with Mickey Mouse in DisneyWorld. Saw her pictures: dediced that i MUST live in New York. She is shy, but realllllly sweeet, just like her momma, and always asking if i need anything. minha irmã :D
