I have slowly stopped blurting portuguese words in the middle of a sentence, and now my thoughts have returned to English. I don't walk along the streets anymore thinking every bad thing about NZ as I once did when I first returned. I guess that means I'm starting to adjust to life back here again.
However I still have that aching for Brazil whenever I watch the world cup, or here Samba, or eat pastel at the brazilian restaurant in my city.
One thing i don't thing i was ever prepared for was the lost of the feeling of 'home', that just never quite comes back. Nothing is the same as before i left for my exchange and because of that the feeling of 'ahhh home' just can't be found. I've learn what its like to live, love and feel, in more than one place therefore i could go searching my entire life but home is now going to be where the people are that i love, not where i grew up. Its hard to concept and harder to explain but all the other exchange students will know what I'm on about!
Obviously in my last blog i wasn't too happy about coming home! And the day I left Brazil was the most upset I have ever been! But thats a good thing, it just goes to show how amazing my exchange was! I would recommend my experience to everyone, and hopefully i'll keep updating here every now then, especially when i do make it back to my fave country in the worlddddddd!
