- Lá Fhéile Stiofáin
Deascéal! Ní mhaireann an Nollaig sa Bhrasaíl ach lá amháin! Thosaigh an féasta Oíche Nollag, bhí póit ar chuile dhuine inné, agus inniu, an 26ú, tá chuile shórt ar oscailt mar is gnáth.

- Nollaig Shona
An Aoine dheireanach roimh an Nollaig... is dócha go bhfuil tú ag dréim le dul abhaile, tine móna a chur síos, fuisce nó gloine port te a bheith agat... ...agus beidh mise ag snámh ag an trá seo!

- Santaí sa Teas
Ní maith liom Nollaig. Ach ar a laghad cuireann an Nollaig sna tropaicí ag gáire mé. Bhí tráth ann nuair a bhí traidisiúin dá gcuid féin ag an mBrasaíl ag an Nollaig. D'inis cara liom in [b]Salvador Posted by Alex-H in Léigh ar mo T-léine é! | Dec 21, 2006
- A Bumpy Ride!
I am guessing that since I left Guarulhos International Airport in São Paulo in early November I have travelled well over 4,000* kilometres on buses to get to where I am now, in Maragogi, Alagoas. And you can add Posted by Alex-H in You Must Try The New Ice-Cream Flavour | Dec 20, 2006

Since I started my trip in Brazil, many people have asked me if it isn't lonely, travelling on my own. I won't deny that sometimes it is (see Crabby Crabs, a previous entry) but other times it is exactly Posted by Alex-H in You Must Try The New Ice-Cream Flavour | Dec 19, 2006
- Bearradh Gruaige
An lá cheana, fuair mé an bearradh gruaige is fearr, agus is saoire, a fuair mé riamh i mo shaol. Sa Bhrasaíl, fásann mo chuid gruaige i bhfad níos sciobtha ná san Eoraip, agus bíonn orm dul chuig an Posted by Alex-H in Léigh ar mo T-léine é! | Dec 19, 2006

Thursday night Nilton, Mickael (a Swedish couchsurfer) and I went to a Candomblé ceremony in the Cidade Baixa. Nilton's brother Bruno is a Pai-de-Santo ('Father of Saint') - a Candomblé priest. Candomblé is an A Posted by Alex-H in You Must Try The New Ice-Cream Flavour | Dec 16, 2006
- Príomhchathair na Cinniúna
Níl focail ann chun cur síos a dhéanamh ar Salvador da Bahia de Todos os Santos. Is dócha gurb shin an fáth a bhfuil oiread sin focail sa logainm féin. Tá an chathair seo ar cheann den dornán Posted by Alex-H in Léigh ar mo T-léine é! | Dec 14, 2006

Tancredo Neves, the neighbourhood in Salvador where I am staying at the moment is not a slum, but it is not far from it. Still, the internet is always around the corner. I am writing this in Antônio's Posted by Alex-H in You Must Try The New Ice-Cream Flavour | Dec 12, 2006

Life is a beach right now as I am making my way up north towards Salvador. I have lost track of exactly how often I have been swimming, sometimes it is more than five times a day. Beaches Posted by Alex-H in You Must Try The New Ice-Cream Flavour | Dec 5, 2006

Is breá liom rialacha a bhriseadh. An cuimhin leat an ceann seo: "Ná gabh abhaile le stráinséirí!"? An ceann sin ach go háirithe.
