Song - love is like a bottle of gin

Love is like a bottle of gin

The sentence that I most agree of this lovely song was:

"It makes the sun shine, makes it rain". Love can bring special moments and can be responsible for building beautiful memories ("makes the sun shine"). However when a person is in love, the feelings appears more intensive than they really are, including sadness, loneliness and jealousy ("makes it rain").

My Life in New Orleans

As you know I am living in New Orleans, United States, since July 17, 2014. Something I've already done here that I really enjoyed was see the fireworks of july 4th celebration, at the Mississipi river.

I want to visit the the City Park while I am living here

Studying abroad is an enriching experience, but leading with the distance from the family and friends can be hard.

First, I miss my family

I miss my Brazilian friends (my second family) as well, and all the happy birthday parties. All those parties was supposed to be a surprise, but we always were discovered before the party happens.

One curiosity that everyone should know about New Orleans is that some cemeteries are famous and the tourists use take pictures in some sepultures. It is kind macabre, but here it is pretty normal. There are many films that was filmed in this city."The Princess and the Frog" is one of those films (the cutest one, in my opinion), this movie is an animation, and its story portrays the life of a poor and hard working girl, that lives in New Orleans and she has the dream of running her own restaurant.

Another interesting thing is that here (New Orleans) plays Jazz in almost any place you visit, I wish in my Brazilian city this was common too. Even all those presented good points,  I wish this city had a subway.

One of my hobbies includes playing acoustic guitar with friends. We love to simplify all the chords and change the tones a little bit until the songs become easier of being played.

I like to watch movies and read books while I am listening to music, my favorite author is Jane Austen.

I love decorated and cute papers and I can easily spend an entire day into a bookstore

One of my favorite song was played in the movie called 'Frozen'
