here in French Guyana have 2 weeks vacation by Carnival did not have much money so I do not know what to do holiday, or where to go. A group of workers went to the carnival of Trinidad and Tobago, but as I was on vacation earlier and it was expensive I was not with them, so I decided to go to Cayenne to see the end of Carnival parade and spend a couple of days at home Laura, the assistant of English Cayenne is not going anywhere because you bought a car and was poor.
In another vein I contacted a girl named Isabel Elche, I did not know but we have a mutual friend and also is a neighbor of my friend Peter's school. For Elizabeth was to go to Brazil and then wanted to come to Guyana to find work, so I spent a few days in my house, until we went to Cayenne to make it speak to the Rector, to see if they gave him some work (so far not been possible.) From there it was in Laura's house and there is at the moment. But was good to have someone of Elche here and talk about things that nobody else in here I can talk.
Well, I'm still on vacation, Lorena and Daniella (Wizards of English and Portuguese in Kourou), went to Cayenne and went to Brazil on vacation, home of Daniella, so I went with my mates them, but I forgot his passport in Saint Laurent and was illegally in Brazil. 
To go to Brazil from Cayenne have to take a taxico to the Oyapock Saint Georges, costs 40 € and takes 3 hours. Once in Saint Georges, you have to take a canoe to cross the river Oyapock Oiapoque takes you, and you're in Brazil! But our destination was the city of Daniela: Macapa, capital of Amapa state, and that is 12 hours bus. The bus is worth about € 20 to change, and takes many hours it is on a dirt road and also in the rainy season is quite chunga tá. After 2 hours, the bus for dinner, was there when I realized that Brazil was going to love it, I discovered restaurant called "kilos", you grab your plate, you fill it with whatever you want from the buffet and then weights on a scale, I was thrilled when I saw that my mountain of sausages, chops and steaks grilled over a Coke cost only about 3 € to change. After travel coñazo which is not sleep because the bus hit a lot of boats, we Macapá, and took a taxi to Daniella's house, he had not told his fam ily that came and wanted to give a surprise.
Daniella's family is charming and treated us incredibly well. The distances are quite Macapá large place to place, as it has 300,000 inhabitants and are all bungalows, so the city d is very large. There to thank Daniella's father to take us around here and there.
I was surprised the price of gasoline in Brazil, that the change costs about 1 € per liter, do not understand how Brazil can cost as being a producer, diesel costs a little less, but still expensive I do not understand how it can cost as much with Brazil as the second largest producer of bioethanol. Furthermore Daniella's father who is a mechanic told me that in Brazil do not sell diesel cars, commercial vehicles only and work not understand. 
The day we arrived was the last day of Carnival, I expected to see scantily clad Brazilian dancing samba, but that was over, the last gave a carnival is the day when Men dress as women, so it was full of guys in drag ...
Macapá is a beautiful city, it has cool things to see. It has a fortress built by the Portuguese the banks of the Amazon, the area of \u200b\u200bthe Fort is a kind of promenade overlooking the Amazon and where bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Has your grace lunch, dinner or have a drink while watching the Amazon or simply walk.
is also one of the few cities in the world through which the line of Ecuador, and there is a monument with a plaque that says "feel the sensation of being at the same time into two hemispheres and as feeling as ... will not magnetize or give you superpowers or anything, but it is clear that we must take a picture with one foot in each hemisphere. In fact next to the monument, a stadium that has the line of Ecuador in midfield and each team playing one half in one hemisphere, is grace.
to go shopping is not bad, especially if you want to buy sandals, Brazil is the land of flip flops. As for the clothing guy, I saw the prices too expensive but not cheap clothes aunt if it was cheaper, the girls bought some 40,000 bikinis.
Daniela's father took us a day to a village called Curiaú, where I said you can only live if you're black, because it was a town founded by slaves, though I imagine to be an unwritten law . For the people pass a little river which is also called Curiaú, a tributary of Amazons. The river is beautiful (on my photo) and has a bathing area where there is bar is 
cool, drink a caipirinha while bathing in the Amazon is better than having one foot in each hemisphere. And on that site I discovered one of the best inventions in history after the wheel and the Internet, "or mucus two Quejinhos" a guy who goes with his portable barbecue out there, and sell cheese skewers, that boss! Do you say "mucus" and he comes and asks you how many skewers you want, you tell him and he'll do them, and each is worth 1 real spike (0.33 €)! So if, and there are several throughout the city, not just one.
party then went out one night and I really liked the atmosphere. The truth is I'd heard bad things about Brazil, which was dangerous and had to take much care, gave me the opposite impression, I felt safe all the time and the Brazilian people seemed very friendly, polite and friendly (especially the Brazilians). I imagine that like everywhere there dangerous places, but honestly I think of French Guiana more dangerous, as it is because I know more than Brazil, but I do not think you can generalize, certain that the favelas of Sao Paulo are quite chungas.
So in short:
Good things: the flesh, the prices of things, caipirinhas, the Brazilian drink a coconut looking at Amazon.
Bad Things: The lyrics are of love for Andy and Lucas's fashionable version struggle (the struggle is a type of Brazilian music)
PS: I hope to return in April vacation.
