16 January - Vila Madalena and USP


Moved into host family home. We live in a nice neighborhood called Vila Madalena. The apartment has a gymnasium (which consists of a room about the size of a single dorm room that has 2 treadmills, 2 bikes that barely work, and an "all-in-one" machine that is probably dangerous to use). There is another CIEE student, Ben Klein, living upstairs in the same apartment building.



I met up with Jefferson at USP (Universidade de São Paulo) and he gave me a small tour of campus. He introduced me to the FIPSE-CAPSE coordinators who gave me a warm welcome to Brazil.
