Is it possible to have space for the cyclist in the transit of Belo Horizonte? I go out to work every day around 06:50, sometimes I go with my car, at other times I go by bus, and every day I see cyclists sharing space with various means of transportation. In every day it's easy to see that cyclists are in danger of life, I haven't yet witnessed an accident, but it must have been a miracle. What's most sad is to realize that our politicians don't bother to create cycle routes, so everyone will be safe. If I ever set off on the great avenues, I certainly will not need my car. And you also have the courage to go to work or study by bicycle?
Life stages! When I look back and see how much time has passed, and the more time goes by, the more complicated it is to remember everything that we have experienced in our childhood or teenage. Living life without responsibilities are certainly the memories that I can remember most, to realize how much I had no maturity for sure didn't give me any pride, but it was through these attitudes that I could become a better person (I think I can become, rs) . As a child I wasn't an angel, it was quite the contrary, my mother had a little work with me (little, it was to be generous), although I wasn't very proud of some games I did with some friends, on the other hand it is still possible give some laughs. A certainty is possible to have, I missed when I was a child.
Neighbors!!! Almost all my life I lived at home, after I left the house of my parents I started to live in an apartment in a condominium, to be honest, until today I did not get used to it, not having privacy is certainly the worst feeling, having to keep the curtains closed most of the day is very bad. But what really stresses me are the neighbors who have a very great difficulty of parking your car within the delimited wave. For you to have an idea, I have a neighbor who owns two cars, he has managed for almost a year for the two cars occupying three seats, this is or is not a lack of respect. Complicated isn't to stress. Good luck with your neighbors.
Berlin, just fantastic! Two years ago I had the opportunity to represent Brazil with the Brazilian Paralympic team of swimming, I was in a stage of the world circuit that happened in Berlin. It was one of the most incredible moments that has occurred to me in my professional life, firstly because I have the privilege of representing my country and secondly to know the fantastic city of Berlin. When I was there I could not miss the Holocaust museum, it is simply the most fascinating place I have ever met, when you are inside the museum something magical happens, you are transported to World War II, it is impossible not to leave the museum without being moved. When in Europe, especially in Berlin, don't miss this place.

Bad student, good student

I used to be a bad student in past. Well, no "bad" exactly. But I was lazy and I though that everything would be awesome in future,  anyway .  When we are young, we don't care about the things that really matters.  Now, I'm a adult and known that to achieve my goals I on my own and how further I go depends from how focused and determined I'm.  Nowadays, I'm a good student because I've learned with my mistakes and I try to do everything in the best way. 

Root Chinese Restaurant in BH's downtown

The restaurant in title doesn't have a real name, it's near Oiapoque Mall. Although some people named it of "Chinese" and others of "Big Chinese" , I prefer "Root Chinese Restaurant" as name because this name represent that place. When I was there, I tried talk with employees for place my order, but they're Chinese and have not done spoken portuguese yet. The restaurant isn't the most beautiful place, and employees aren't less rude, but food is so awesome, I really recommend this place and all dish options, mainly the "bolinho" .
Giving Advice ... Do you want to be happier? Start by taking better care of yourself. However obvious this is, many people skip this step and try to be happy by seeking happiness in outward things, for example, a good or a person. We will only be happy when we are well inside of us. Think about it!
