dotintheskyI'm by the sea! It's amazing here... though I'm already burnt as a shrimp after two days (I did use sunblock 30, I swear). It's also highly amusing that I leave my journal unattended for two days, and when I come back ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ephemeritis and wardytron have ripped a new asshole in some poor Livejournal troll. You guys are too mean! ;-P
I wish you could all be here with me to experience the beauty of this place. The village itself, Arraial D'Ajuda, is like a forgotten paradise in some remote corner of Brasil. The people are lovely and beautiful. For example, just on our way to this internet cafe, a young boy tapped our shoulders and said "hello friends!" Usually, I would expect him to then show us some necklaces or cheap sunglasses, but nothing of the sort happened. The people of Bahia (the state in which Arraial D'Ajuda is in) are incredibly friendly.
The sea is not far from our pousada. We have to walk down a hill made of stones until we reach the white sand and the flat sea. The water is cool during the mornings, and hot like a bath in the afternoons. You can swim as far into the sea as you want; it's peaceful like a giant swimming pool. Because the Summer season is over, there's hardly anyone here. We walk the beach in the mornings and run into very few people. When we sit down for some coconut water, young guys sit with us and talk about where we come from, my brother's drawings (he's using all his time here to work on his art) or what we think of the place.
The only two negative things so far are my "severe" sunburns and a conversation we had this morning with one guy. He told us that all of the businesses in Arraial are being bought up by foreigners, that the money no longer stays here. Because of that, a lot of the natural beauty of the place has been affected and some of its wildness lost (i.e. golf courses being built, a Club Med not too far away.) Nevertheless, I should have pointed out to him that these businesses also bring jobs to the people here. Something positive always comes out of the negative, non? Another thing that is bothering me are the huge amounts of foreign hippies living here. I'm generally indifferent to hippies, but there's something parasitiac (is that a word?) about these ones. They go around trying to sell their little beads and I just want to tell them "I'd rather give my money to one of the many people here struggling to sell their work, then to you. Go back to your fucking country." Wow... I need to keep my xenophobia in check. Seriously, I don't mind foreigners coming to Brasil (it is a country, after all, built on immigration) but these fucking hippies seem to me the kind that would sell their mothers to you as long as you bought one of their cheap necklaces.
Anyways, just wanted to give everyone a quick update.
P.S. Osho was a cockmuncher and a gayer. I'm glad he is dead and I hope he's enjoying his reincarnation as a cockroach.
