I moved! (again)

It's the third time in six monthes and yes, I've moved again. I am now in a two bedroom, one bath apartment located closer to the city center. I am living with my Brazilian friend Audir (in Portuguese his name is pronounced "Au-geer")... Audir works 40-50 hours a week and travels almost every weekend, so most of the time I am here by myself and pretend it's my own apartment. Some positive points: there are almost NO bugs, I have a wonderful view because we're on the 15th floor, there wooden floors were just re-furnished, it has a great location close to the cheapest supermarket in Sao Jose, etc. One interesting thing about apartments in Brazil is that they usually do not include applicances: luckily Audir has already invested in a refrigerator, but there's isn't a microwave or oven, say goodbye to home-cooked meals. But I am still happy as ever to be living here. The crazy thing is if I move again, it will be to Sao Paulo!! Let's hope I am able to make a fourth move (more updates on that + future plans to come).
