Birthday at São Cristóvão

Birthday at São Cristóvão.

Fuer meinen Geburtstag sind wir auf die feira gegangen, haben typisches nordoestliches Essen gegessen, Bier und Caipirinhas getrunken und danach viel getanzt. Das Beste war aber, als alle auf die Buehne sind, um fuer mich zu singen. Es war ein toller Abend, alle haben es sehr genossen. Man findet hier wahre Freunde in der Schule!

Our RioLIVE! last Saturday was a great celebration of one of our student’s birthday at São Cristóvão. Since it was our student Lara’s birthday on Saturday, we started celebrating on Friday! We gathered at the restaurant Barraca da Chiquita and our menu was carne de sol, aipim frito, baião de dois and caipirinhas. At this moment we took the time to speak Portuguese, and after having dinner, we were ready to dance forró!

A very upbeat band got the night pumping, so we decided to honor our birthday girl and went on stage to sing happy birthday. But for inspiration and a bit of courage too, we got tequila shots for everybody. After that, we danced a lot of forró, and it was a great moment of integration between the students, since the ones who already knew how to dance were teaching the ones that didn’t.

To finish our night on a great note, nothing better than a bit of Karaoke. We sang a lot, and it was a perfect way to end our RioLIVE!

Come have fun with us taking part in our RioLIVE! Activities.
