Here a lot of places where you can find food on kilograms.
It's like a fastfood. You take a plate where you can put anything they offer and later the plate will be weighed and you should pay depending on how much you took
It doesn't matter you took fish, meat or watermelon.
I've even found one icecream-on-kilograms place.

hostel in Salvador
Now I live on hostel in Pelorinho - historic place of Salvador.
The room has a view on the other building - on it's back =).
But I have hot water and sound of landing aircraft.
Breakfast is included but I haven't tried yet - had to go Coutos early in the morning.

buses
The buses are crazy here.
The cars are new and the drivers are really fast.
They rides 2-3 times faster than in Kiev.

twenty-four hours
The sun rises here at ~6 a.m. and sets at ~6 p.m.
It's completely dark at 6 p.m.
Almost everything is closed after the sunset.
And this happens everyday of the year.
I'm not used for such schedule. I feel the summer here because of the weather and sunrise but the sun sets like in winter in Ukraine. Weird.

Juices
Here you can try fresh juice from anything: from oranges, mamão, abacaxi, lemons, bananas, cacao, graviola, beetroot, mango, watermelon, melon and many other fruits and vegetables.
They can mix different fruits and vegetables and add milk.
Delicious.
This is really nice.

Valença
After the fest in Cachoeira we moved to Valença
M. Cobrinha has fazenda there.
The place is really nice. Cobrinha has a lot of land there.
We had an opportunity to train with mestre and to work in the field =)
We helped to plant different plants, gather manure and helped to do many other things.
Besides that we walked in jungles, eat fruits from the trees: cacao, bananas, coconuts, graviola, jaco, jambo, carambol, lemons and oranges. Tried sugar cane. Very sweet and has a lot of water.
We saw how is growing pineapple, black pepper, cinnamon and cloves. And more and more.
The most interesting thing was when we went to get beribas for vergas.
We went through deep(for me at least) jungles, looking for good beribas to cut them for vergas.
I cut one and looks like it's going to be gunga. Very interesting experience. The jungles are really dangerous - the forest protects itself. There is not a lot of animals, but plants are really dangerous - with thorns, sticky ant tricky.
People are really nice there. Always saying "Hello" and smiling.
We had trainings and a small roda there.
Sharon, girl from Israel joined the trainings and roda. The interesting thing that she fell in love with the guy from Brazil and decided to to stay here. They have some land there and building a house.
Although she didn't traing for some time she is a good capoerista.

Cachoeira
We went to Cachoeira to celebrate "O dia da Boa Morte"
The day of good death is a candoble festival.
FICA and Nzinga academies made a roda in honor of this day.
We had a good time during the roda. Everybody played really good and every game was very interesting.
I played also with M. Valmir and with girl from Nzinga. No comments. I should train, train and train.
The fest was really nice. Samba, capoeira, black people in white closes.
Cachoeira is a place of birth of capoeira and city of candoble.
Cachoeira is one of the oldest city here.
Really nice town on the river. In old days people used to sail on this river to Salvador.
People more calm here than in Salvador. I've been resting in Cachoeira. Salvador makes me nervous a bit - a lot of people you don't know what they can do with you.

Photos
I'm not going to do photos now.
The first reason I'm trying to understand the city.
The second - I'm a bit frightened to look more like tourist than I am =).
Of course every person in Salvador recognises tourist in myself. Usually they are trying to guess where am I from.
I'll try to make photos in the end of the trip. When I'll certainly know what I'm photographing.
Probably I'll publish some fotos from varios events, but not likely of Salvador.

Trainings
I have at least 2 trainings per day.
First at 7 a.m. with mestre, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 12 p.m. - in FICA BA and every day at 7 p.m. in FICA BA.
Everybody is really strong capoerista here. Cool trainings with M. Valmir, M. Cobrinha and T. Jorgi.
Almost everybody is from other coutries. Not a lot of people from Salvador.
I'm no sure if it's a general case here.
Many sequents, a lot of new movements for me. Very tired. More opportunities now and my head is going to explode soon.
I'm going to spend next week training in other academias - at least in Nzinga and probably in GCAP.

It's not like a training. Mestre trains with us. We played with each other. Changing pairs and playing again.
Training is about 1.5 hours.
Flight
The flight was good.
The only thing was bothering me - my ears hurt during the landing.
Airport in Paris is really huge. We had to take bus to get from one terminal to another.
We had 6 hours in airport in Rio. It's not so huge. So we went almost in all places while we were waiting for our flight.
I tried great drink: lemon+guarana+mate. I didn't think I can try such delicios thing!
In salvador I tried acaraje.
Then we went to the place where we live now - Coutos - 40 min by bus from Salvador.
