The second day in Sao Paulo!

Somehow, I don't feel like I'm in Brazil yet. My friend and I went to the same school in Boston so we speak in English. Before coming to Brazil, I didn't check any sightseeing spots, plus, her apartment is super comfortable so I'm just happy to be relaxing in her apartment!!
But, I was getting hungry so I went out and found a cute cafe in the neighborhood. I stood at the casher and a lady was asking me something, but I couldn't understand anything, of course... I just wanted to order one sandwitch, but it was so hard.
In Japan, we start studying English from junior high school, and we use a lot of English words in everyday living. So, it's not too hard to order food or go shopping. But, I have no idea what sandwitch called in Portuguese. I can't even count 1 to 10 yet.
At least I could order a sandwitch and coffee. Then I was told to wait at the table. First, a very strong coffee was brought to my table and in about 5 minute, the lady brought the sandwitch I ordered, which became a pizza-like food!!!
Well, it tasted good, thought!!

In the back of the cafe, there was a showcase full of cakes!! Everyone who was eating lunch there also had a dessert. So, I did the same. I ordered ”Mousse De Maracuja" (passion fruit mousse)!! These cakes are sold by the weight. The place we ate lunch yesterday was also like that. I think it's very common in Brazil.

After the lunch, it started rainning, so I came back to her apartment. My friend was also back from work so we waited till the rain stoped, and went out to buy something for dinner. Tonight, I cooked Japanese style fried noodle for her!!
It wasn't the best, but she said she liked it...thanks!

It was a nice day and I'm so relaxing!!

サンパウロでお世話になっている友達、Julieは、ボストンの学校での友達。なので彼女との会話はすべて英語。
その上、Julieのアパートはとっても居心地がいい！！
そのせいなのか、何となく、ブラジルにいるという感覚が全くない。
そのうえ、下調べもろくにしていないので、特に観光に行かなきゃとか、ここが見たい！って場所もないので、ついついお家でのんびりしてしまう。。。

それでも、もちろんおなかは減ってくるので、近所のカフェに一人でお昼を食べに行った。
レジにならんで、私の番。言われている事が全く分からない。サンドイッチを一つ注文したいだけだったのに。
必殺指差し技で、”これこれ、１つ！”と。。。
