It was such
a noisy at the room the whole night. All the candidates were so nervous and
anxious that they couldn’t sleep at all. All the time the door was being opened
and shut. It was big mess ‘til the candidates leave for the exams. After such a
mess and confusion, I could sleep no more. I was fully awake and it was 7am.
Once I cannot sleep, I decided to enjoy the day. It was a bright shining Sunday
morning. I took a cold shower and went to living room to have my breakfast. On
my way to the kitchen I saw a sign on the wall.

Love more. Kiss much more. Cry with desire. Give away generously. Make mistakes. Do what fright you the most. Scream! Harmonise more. Care less. |
On Sundays morning
Curitiba has such a traditional open fair at ‘Largo da Ordem’ place. It was
quite early, so I decided to go to the Oscar Niemeyer museum which was in the opposite
direction, a grove aside the museum and then come back to city centre to walk
around the Largo da Ordem fair and do some sightseeing.

display all works Niemeyer designed around the world. He is a famous architect.
He designed Brasília, capital of Brazil.

This thing of wanting to be exactly what we are, still going to take us further. Just regret once. (Inside the Museum) |

This life is a journey, it's a pity I be here just as a passanger. I do not discuss with the destiny. What appears to do, I'm in. (Inside the Museum) |
I passed
through the grove João Paulo II and went back to hostel to have another
breakfast, drink some water and go to the fair, once the hostel was on my way.
The Largo
da Ordem fair sells from handcrafts to candies. All sort of typical provisions
were found in this fair. Typical food, candies, drinks, clothes, shoes etc.
Everything a good fair has. On this day, this fair also had a motorcycle club meeting
and old cars exposition. The fair is surrounded by good restaurants and cafés.

Wandering through the fair I found a Mosque.

Of course I went inside. ‘Salam Maleico’ someone welcomed me. Maleico salam I replied. Then the guy started to talk with me in Arabic. ‘Hey mate, I’m Brazilian.’ ‘Sorry, I thought you were Arabian.’ And then this guy told me the whole story about Islamism and many complicated names that I already forgot. I appreciated his kindness and I left, no before taking a photo in “Mecca”.

After
eating some typical food at the fair, I kept my sightseeing. I went to Curitiba
Cathedral (Catedral Basílica Menor de Nossa Senhora da Luz de Curitiba is how
the Cathedral is named) and I saw a different way of sleeping.

For those ones who keep insisting to drink, be careful. You might sleep on this position sooner or later |
I wandered
for the whole city for few days, so I had time to wander around and to chill
out watching movies and going for drinks.
The
following pics show a bit about what I have done in Curitiba city, besides give
you some notion about this lovely city.
Curitiba Botanical Graden is good for picnics, chilling out, reading, play cards or simply wandering.

Tanguá Park is quite big park. Also good for picnics, chilling out, reading, play cards or simply wandering. But when I went there 70% of the park was crowded with cars playing loud songs.

The Wire Opera House is used for proms, concerts, plays and special announcements.

The German Grove is special. It's a small grove inside the city, but the trees are so high that the treetops hide the sun and insulate the sound. It's good for a slow walk and chat with a friend. It seems you're farway from the city. Oh yes, on the top there's a German Café.

Barigui Park is another huge park. Very good for picnics, running, skating, playing, chilling out or whatever you want to do outdoors. Along the lake you find few dock restaurants. Good for a beer during the day or a romantic dinner at night.

You can go up the Telepar Tower to have a nice view from the city.

The Ukrainian Memorial is beautiful. But the day I went there was going on a footage and I wasn't able to get inside the Memorial. Such a shame.
The Tingui Park is algo good for running, relaxing, reading, biking, picnics and meditation.
