Did you get along with Bruna’s family @heywoodu? I remember you were nervous about that before your trip.

I was? Not much more than anyone else before meeting their girlfriend's/boyfriend's family I think :p But yes, we got along excellent, so I'm very happy with that :d

We were worried about the language barrier with them I think.

That was not as much of a worry for me anymore. I mean, I can understand half of what they say when they speak a bit slowly, I can answer a few basic things (although my biggest problem is being too shy to actually do so :p) and in case nothing worked, someone was there who speaks both English and Portuguese.

She's already learning and doing pretty well, next time she's here she'll have to give more Dutch a try instead of English as usual :p

No, damn it! Açaí with some brigadeiros, m&m's and chocolate sauce, oh my, what a treat. Also no pão de queijo or esfiha anymore :( On the upside, no 'dry' rice with brown beans anymore. Not saying that's bad, but I grew a little tired of it at some point :p I like my rice with a bit more sauce :d 

 

fat big hero 6 GIF @heywoodu right now :lol:

 

But, I can understand you. I can't eat rice and beans everyday. For example, I only eat rice and black beans, because I don't like too much the other kind of beans.:lol:

The black beans are a lot better! They're really unusual for me but I like them much more. Rice, black beans (even better if there's some meat in there) and some farinha sprinkled over it, let's go.

I would check this morning, since I usually check my weight in the morning. The morning I left for Brazil it was 87.something, now it was...

 

Spoiler

88.8kg :d That's like 5kg less than I expected :lol:

    • claim their 2nd South & Central American title after beating  in the last game 26-25.
    • Group-1     6 PTS   4 PTS   4 PTS   2 PTS   2 PTS   0 PTS   2 Games to go for each team
    • Yuna Aoki was fantastic and defeats both Chiba and Nakai at 4 Continents. 
    • Apparently now Uhlaender is appealing to the IOC to add another spot and give it to her    Good grief, it's a US selection issue ultimately, they qualified two, how they award them is up to them... but she doesn't like their answer, and knows she has no legal standing to go thru those channels or CAS, so goes right to the IOC looking for special treatment. 
    • ICE Police killed him , he was a nurse , 37 yo ... fking USA of trump     
    • @hckošice Do you agree with me to some extent, or am I hopelessly dreaming? 
    • Interesting forecasts, I like 'em! I think the US wins the most medals, but Norway tops the standings (most golds)... have Germany neck-and-neck with Norway for medals, but fewer gold.    Then have Canada and Italy fighting it out for 4th in 5th   Then have Sweden, Austrian, Japan, Netherlands and France rounding out the top ten, with them all within a medal or two of each other. Of course reality will differ significantly 
    • A huge day for the very young Italian Bertini: despite a very tough draw, he beats Szilagy in the round of 16 and Gu in the quarterfinals! First career podium for him! 
    • Time for more personal and detailed predictions:    will have it hard this time.   I'm trying to stay realistic about our chances. We're not going there as favorites in most events, and deep down I know it would be a big surprise if we suddenly overperformed or even dominated. Still, sports have a beautiful way of ignoring expectations.   We're never predicted to do amazingly well at either edition of the Olympics, so I’m desperately hoping for moments that will stay with everyone in the country for years, whether it's a final that keeps people glued to their screens or a performance that will make us proud. Just one medal could mean so much. It would bring real emotions and something to cheer for to a country that isn’t going through its best period right now. And on the rare occasion of a hockey miracle, celebrations in the streets wouldn't be an oddity.   It all comes down to four sports, the rest are out of reach:   Alpine Skiing is a big mystery, and it will all come down to Petra, whether she'll compete and eventually shock everyone with a heroic result. That's the best-case scenario. Biathlon can be the dark horse, you never know how things turn around. The women's relay is probably our biggest chance, but all four of them need to deliver great performances. As for Ice Hockey, our national sport, I'll always believe in another fairytale. I'll always believe we'll pull off a miracle. Since I wasn't alive yet when we won gold at the World Championships, I can only resort to watching old videos and imagine how amazing it must have been to watch as your country is the champion of the world in something. Best on the planet. Even the silver years later was amazing, but I was too young to actually remember it, so it's time for another hockey euphoria in the country. Ski Mountaineering is a bit overlooked in the media right now, but I believe we have a huge chance of winning a medal in one of the events. Our athletes aren't minnows.   We're a small country, still relatively young. There's not much we're known for in the world, but sports are a perfect way to build a national identity, to stop people from thinking you're still part of a state that ceased to exist decades ago. Doing well in sports is one of the few things these lesser-known countries can show off, not just the ones in Europe.   I'm desperately hoping for a medal, and we all want those two weeks of the Olympics to be amazing and full of unforgettable moments.
