Helping

Today I have a little story to tell :)

In the hotel that we stayed in, there where no employee that knew how to speak english…. as Salvador it’s one of the most visited places in Brazil… often english speakers drop by. So one night we were in the computer area and we saw a couple walking around and speaking low, just for them. Carol, said to me: “I think they don’t speak portuguese” They were really blond and REALLY white! So when we were going back to our room we heard them speaking english.

My girlfriend said: “I think they need help” and so we approached them.

The couple where from north England; they were hungry, didn’t know a word in portuguese and couldn’t find food. They arrived at night in Salvador downtown (sort of dangerous neighborhood to walk if you don’t know anything)

We end up helping them to order some chinese food, we called for them and ordered in portuguese and everything. It was fun to speak English with people after almost 3 months :)

Fun fact: they booked the hotel typing what they wanted in GOOGLE TRANSLATE in the check-in computer lol.

Have fun with this picture :)

Me with fake african hair :p
