I have no idea who told me about landing there, but it wasn't a problem at all. Now finding my way through the airport to get to the right airline to go to Curitiba was a bit sketchy...but I got here fine.
I love having to communicate without knowing the other's language...seriously I do. I had all kinds of help by looking confused and saying "english" and then the sign language begins. Not really sure what I had for dinner tonight. I just went to an Italian place that let you pick out the ingredients as they prepared it. I just pointed to things and said some things in English, German and then Spanish if i happen to know it in Spanish. I had Penne with broccoli, peas, and a lot of other things I am not sure what they were....it tasted good!!
My driver doesn't speak any English...he called someone at the plant talked to her, handed the phone to me, i talked to her and then I gave the phone back to him. Then at the hotel, he said something to the front desk person and Bruno (the front desk person) said your driver will be back in the morning at 7:30 AM to pick you up.
So no pictures yet but will get some in the next day or 2...probably mostly of my team here. Maybe some site seeing on Friday before I leave. So they put me on an ALL WOMAN'S floor in the Sheraton...has anyone ever heard of that....okay who called them to warn them about me!!! I guess I feel safer.
Met a guy in the gym tonight that lives in the area and speaks English really well. The hotel supplements the cost by allowing locals join. He said that Curitiba is the most beautiful city in Brazil....I'll let you know.
That is all for now.

All Woman's floor? This is new to me! Even Indonsia doesn't have it (given >80% muslim population). Did you find out why?
Try some of the local flavor(s) when you get a chance, and save some chocolate for us! - Sari
