felt a little bit embarrassing. In fact you learn a lot of things that you never imagined, for example you can have a range of vocabulary that you never been noticed. But it is embarrassing. Until you understand the pragmatic relationship with the others countries they will be looking at you. For example, in relation with other friends they were always making jokes about me because the way I talked, everybody knew that I was foreign. So it is something more related to culture, to pragmatics. You know that in Italy people are very worried about fashion and when I arrived there with my cotton t-shirts... so I had to change a little bit my habits. Things go much beyond the language.Gizele - Yes, I was just going to ask you that, if you could tell us about the differences about the cultures...Ivan - Yes, It is something really meaningful. I have so many traces to tell you. In Brazil for example, when you take a shower, you have the shower above our heads and we can use the soap, in Italy there are no bathrooms and there are no showers indeed. They have small showers, like chuveirinho using the Portuguese word, it was so strange. For me it was very disgusting, something completely different, so unusual. But it is also related to culture.Helder - Just one more question. What were your expectations when you arrived in Italy?Ivan - I really imagined finding in Italy beauty, fashion, beautiful women, and I think that I found all of these things. I discovered a wonderful country, a wonderful place, people that are similar to the Brazilians: the way they speak, habits, the desire to interact, they are fun, but of course in some points they were not what I imagined, but in general it was really nice.Helder: How would you describe your experience as an exchange student?Ivan - Fantastic, as I told, at the first month it was a little bit difficult for me, but after the first month it was wonderful. I think I really achieved my aim there, I think that I had a nice performance in the end of the discipline. It was a wonderful opportunity to get in touch with people of all around the word. There were only two students from South America, a Mexican girl and me. And I had five or six classmates from Italy and other six classmates from all around the world like Korea, Switzerland, Belgium so it was very nice to interact and to know people from different places.Franklin - Was it difficult to return to Brazil?Ivan - ...Yes, it was difficult because I wanted to stay a little bit more because it was very nice. And, besides, in university you create relationships with other people. Judo was wonderful to me, because I have practiced judo since I was 8 years old and during all the time I was in Italy I was practicing judo too, so it was very nice to interact and to meet different people. And tonight, tonight at 10.30 Im
going to Barcelona because of Judo, I was invited to give a class about the ground fight. And the main Sensei of Siena invited me to go to Barcelona engage in a congress of physical educators and give a course of ground fight, especially for competitions. So Now Im going there again because of the relationships I was able to create.Interviewers - Ok, thank you very much. Ivan - Bye, bye.Audio file: http://www.zshare.net/download/897083599fde4dc9/
The students in the discipline Integrated Skills had a task of interviewing a Brazilian who participated of UFMGs exchange programs. Our group interviewed Janaina and she was very kind for sharing with us her experiences abroad, what she learned and what she felt about it.Could you tell us about your exchange program?My exchange program was supposed to be only six months but I went in 2004 and returned in 2005. It was one year but I went there six months before my real exchange and Federal at that time, I dont know how its working now, but in 2004 they didnt help up the tuition trip with accommodation, food. So actually I tried the first time the exchange program but I didnt have money to go so I didnt go. On the second time I got the room, was selected again and then I decided Id go to live. As I didnt have the whole money to put together to live, I decided to go six months before and I worked for six months and I tried to get money.How was your adaptation?It was pretty nice. In the beginning you feel strange with the accommodation, the people, the food. Everything is different.Did any friend go with you?No, I went alone. I already had a friend there that helped me in the first days with accommodation in a house and introduced me to some people, but I didnt stay in this friends house that he set to me for more than one week or two.What was more difficult, getting there or when you came back to Brazil?Good question! Coming back is always coming home, its your family, your home, your friends but in the beginning it was a bit awkward. I remember I went to the call station here in Belo Horizonte and then I had to call a friend to buy some cards and then she said do you want 30 pieces I asked, how does it work because I didnt remember how the system cards worked and she said how come you dont know that?. I was confused with the money because I got used to using a kind of note and everything is confused when you come back. When you get there its so funny because sometimes you are on street and you see a person and you think she looks like my friend but then you remember it couldnt be my friend because Im in another country. And when you come back, its like oh, my friend from the restaurant! (I used to work in a restaurant when I was there.) and then what am I talking? Im here in Brazil! Its so strange! You see a person and their features resemble the other person, but, at the same time, they are different.Do you recommend the experience to other students?I totally recommend. I am a teacher now and Ive been teaching for twelve years. I started very early. I always tell my students: you dont have to go abroad to learn a language. I really dont share this belief,
but I do tell them that they should go to live the language. Its completely different. When I went to England, I was already a teacher, I could speak English already. But living a language is completely different.What about the academic life? Is it completely different from Brazil?Yes, it is different because the way we have classes is different. For example, you work on seminars and lectures, and every week you have the same subject.You cant participate like we do here?In a lecture, no. Because its in an auditorium, like a big place with a lot of chairs. And there the teacher keeps talking all the time.You cant interact.You cant interact. And then, in another moment of the week, you go to the seminars. And the seminars are like this: you have thirty students, so they need make groups of ten and then you interact with the teacher. All the teachers have their offices, where they have comfortable chairs and you can talk to them. Its very nice and its much more informal.When you went there, you graduated?Yes.And how did this experience help you in your life?Actually, I was about to finish my course. I delayed two subjects so that I could go. I didnt need the subjects. When I went, I had finished all my credits. And it helped me, especially in valuing what we have here, which is pretty good. We have a beautiful campus, very good teachers. Sometimes we want to study abroad to say everything is so perfect! It is very nice, but we also have very good things in here. So it helped me more like comparing things.And what was the most important thing you learned with your experience?I really think I learned a lot in terms of life experience. I always think something changes. My life was something before going and after going. And I think its like learning how to...because...there, I really felt how to be alone. Cause there I was alone. If something happened to me there, I wouldnt have anyone there, here you have friends, you have your family. And also, I learned how to see different things and just...accept them. You know, especially when I was in London, London is so crazy, like...ten thousand different languages...and everythings right, nothings wrong, you may not agree, but...Did you meet brazilian people?I met lots of people in England, on saturdays, that go to a brazilian bar. I was like, whats the point, living in a country, to be in such a big brazilian community. I enjoyed everything I could enjoy there.The people there are...cold? You know...Yeah. They are, they are cold somehow, but, what happened to me, because, first in England...first in London, I was in a place...with Italians, Egyptians, Canadians, I was the only brazilian. So many different people...What about the food?Ah, the food is quite awful. Because they have fish and chips, and they are really proud of fish and chips. For us its like...is this our meal, because here we have lots of rice, beans, and sallad, and there is quite a
lot of processed food as well, you go to the market, its unbeliavable, because...here in Brazil we have two freezers. There they have 6 coders with frozen food and you know food in cans and something like that... yeah. I really struggled, but I tried my best. I used to buy some beans and rice and cook some vegetables. I used to buy meat and cook some sausages together. Something similar to what we have here.Was it difficult to work and study at the same time?Yes. Pretty difficult. But its possible.It is possible, but its difficult. It all depends on how much you work, of course. But like here in Brazil... I have always worked and studied. But the most difficult thing was to change. Now its work, now its study. Its the same thing here, I guess. But its possible. We just cant afford not working, so sometimes its the only way you have. What did you like the most?The friends, the things I lived there and my trips, because I traveled a lot when I was in England.Where did you go?Well, I went to Portugal, some different cities, Spain, Czech Republic, Prague. I went to Barcelona. I came back in 2005. And since 2005 every year I go back. Ive been there in 2006, 7, 8 and 9. Did you travel around?Yes. Some places. I was living in London so I went up North and then I visited some places like York.Have you visit the country there?Yes. York is kind of the country side. If you go by train is just 40 minutes from London but its very different. You dont have big houses and cars.How did you find the country side there?The country side? Its beautiful. Its green and its pretty different. Everything is clean. The road is really nice. And people are different. Once I went to a small town and when I entered the pub everybody stopped and looked at me. You know, its a really small place and people figure out youre not from the place. Something that would never happen to you in London. Nobody belongs and everybody belongs to London.And what do you recommend, or if you have any advice for someone who wants to go on this program?I would recommend research about the place you want to go. And if you want to go to university do something you are already doing here. Maybe you are making a study more on linguistic. Because what I did its like... I have always studied many disciplines in the linguistic area so when I went I took a discipline on [I couldnt understand12:28] so it was difficult for me because, you know it was a different area, a different reading so I would recommend not taking too many subjects because it is also a cultural exchange program, you know? You go there to improve your language skills, to have contact with people, to know about so many other things apart from university. So if you are already doing three subjects on something its different, it may
be more difficult. I also recommend being open. Try things, talk to people, try some kind of food even if it looks pretty strange. Yes! Sometimes its pretty strange but its really nice. Why not? Thats the whole point of going to a different country. And ask questions, learn the language. Sometimes you are afraid of asking. No! And we are too hard on ourselves. When you get there people say oh your accent is beautiful. Because for them, to get to this level of Portuguese that we have in English would be much more difficult. So they do say that we are good.Thank you very much!

Ola galera,Hoje venho falar da minha 6a Corrida de Rua, que foi a 19a Etapa do Circuito Popular de Corridas de Rua que aconteceu no dia 27/11/2011. Demorei para comentar pois o resultado oficial so foi lancado no dia de hoje, quase um mes depois.Este circuito e um bom inicio para quem quer correr, pois e gratuito e voce ainda ganha camiseta e medalha (esta ao terminar a prova), quando geralmente corridas (que dao estes "brindes") custam, em media, R$ 50,00.Fui para esta corrida depois de um mes sem treinar por alguns motivos e ate que terminei com um tempo bom para mim. Acredito que terminar no tempo que terminei deve-se ao fato de correr com meu amigo Wagner. Valeu Wagnao!Enfim... PROVA CONCLUIDA COM SUCESSO!Resultado Circuito Popular de Corridas de Rua - 19a Etapa - Campinas - 27/11/2011 - 5km:No de Peito: 2200Tempo Liquido: 0:31:03,7Colocacao Geral: 173Eis a medalha:Por agora e so!Ate mais. Ola galera! Tudo bem?Hoje falo da minha 9a participacao em corridas de rua, a Corrida Mais Vida 3M Boldrini 2012, que aconteceu dia 15/04/2012.O dia comecou agradavel para correr, mas foi esquentando durante a prova, o que era esperado.Participei da prova de 10k, num percurso muito parecido com os 3 primeiros quilometros da Corrida Integracao mais o percurso da Corrida Oba.A altimetria e interessante, porem ainda estou com dificuldades de manter a corrida na subida, onde, para me preservar, caminho.Isso tem atrapalhado um pouco para melhorar meu tempo, mas aos poucos a adaptacao vai acontecendo e a melhora vem como consequencia.E, como nao poderia deixar de ser, PROVA CONCLUIDA COM SUCESSO!Resultado Corrida Mais Vida 3M Boldrini - 15/04/2012 - 10km:No de Peito: 260Tempo Bruto: 1:07:40Tempo Liquido: 1:07:33Colocacao Geral: 548Eis a medalha:Que venha o mes de Maio, com 3 provas a disputar.Ate a proxima! Ola galera, tudo bem?!Hoje venho falar da minha 4a corrida de rua, a 28a Corrida Integracao, que foi realizada no dia 25/09/2011. Demorei para postar, pois estava esperando o resultado oficial, que saiu esta semana.Minha meta esse ano era simples. Abaixar o meu tempo do ano passado (1:22:31) entre 2,5 e 7,5 minutos.Fui cedo para o local de largada, que ainda estava barrada a entrada. Quando liberaram, consegui ficar perto do inicio do pelotao geral. No entanto, pude notar que a distancia para os "tapetes" da largada foi aumentada. Nada que atrapalhasse quem fosse correr 10km.A espera estava me deixando ansioso e ate as musicas que levei para ouvir durante a prova ajudaram. Coloquei algumas mais lentas e, por sorte (porque estava no modo aleatorio), veio uma musica dessas neste momento, o que me ajudou a acalmar.A largada atrasou alguns minutos do previsto, mas tudo bem... meu foco nao era comecar na hora, e sim terminar do jeito que eu queria.Veio entao a largada e, consequentemente, 10km a percorrer a partir dali. Fui tranquilo. Desta vez estava preparado para aquilo. Treinei para isso.Fui avancando na corrida e estava muito bem para o que eu esperava. Nao sentia cansaco. E isso se refletiu no meu resultado.PROVA CONCLUIDA COM SUCESSO!Resultado 28a Corrida Integracao - 25/09/2011 - 10km:No de
Peito: 2644Tempo Bruto: 1:09:31Tempo Liquido: 1:08:27Colocacao Geral: 2575Colocacao na Faixa Etaria: 160O nivel tecnico da prova estava muito alto! Mesmo eu tendo melhorado meu tempo em 0:14:04, muito mais gente chegou a minha frente. Isso tambem nao nao me interessa.Fiquei extremamente feliz com meu desempenho. Na realdade, um resultado totalmente inesperado.E ai esta a medalha!Logo trago o resultado da minha 5a prova, a II Volta da Unicamp!Ate a proxima!
Ola galera,Hoje venho falar da minha oitava participacao em corridas de rua, a Corrida Oba 2012.Ela foi realizada no dia 25/03/2012.Um domingo como eu nao esperava. Sem nuvem alguma no ceu! Eu ja previa que seria um calor muito grande durante a prova toda (e nao precisaria ser muito adivinho para isso).Previsao acertada! Eu sofri para conseguir completar esses 8km.Os 2 primeiros quilometros foram tranquilos, mas os outros 6 foram complicados, as pernas "pesaram", a corrida nao rendia. Nem a agua estava ajudando.Minha meta era fechar em menos de 52 minutos. Nao foi possivel. No entanto, ficou abaixo da minha meta inicial, 55 minutos. O problema foi na divulgacao do resultado oficial: apareci fazendo 5 minutos mais rapido do que realmente fiz. Sinto para a pessoa que fez o tempo que consta para mim. Mas, como muita gente, inclusive eu, faz marcacao "extra-oficial", eu peguei o resultado que possivelmente e o meu (inclusive o no e parecido e talvez por isso a confusao).Enfim... PROVA CONCLUIDA COM SUCESSO!Resultado Corrida Oba - 25/03/2012 - 8km:No de Peito: 2369Tempo Bruto: 0:54:42Tempo Liquido: 0:53:54Colocacao Geral: 978Eis a medalha:Bom, por agora e isso.Que venham as proximas corridas.Ate a proxima! Ola galera,Hoje nao venho postar algo sobre uma corrida que participei, mas algo sobre um desrespeito que ocorreu em uma dessas corridas pelo Brasil. Este post e uma reproducao do que postei no meu facebook semana passada. Eu nao poderia deixar de postar isso aqui!Semana passada assisti a um video compartilhado por uma pessoa no facebook que me deixou extremamente revoltado, indignado, furioso (o sinonimo que voces preferirem).Tratava-se de uma reportagem do programa Agora e Tarde (video disponivel no final desse post) cujo tema era a Fila Night Run, que aconteceu em Sao Paulo, no autodromo de Interlagos em 12/05/2012 (para quem nao sabe, e uma corrida de rua que acontece em algumas cidades do pais, noturna, como o proprio nome sugere).No comeco, confesso, ate pareceu que teria alguma graca colocar alguns monstros do Noites do Terror, do Playcenter, para dar susto nas pessoas enquanto corriam ou caminhavam. Mas com o decorrer da reportagem, a graca foi ficando cada vez mais escassa e transformando-se em raiva e repudio.Motivos: obvios para quem assiste ao video.O primeiro deles foi atrapalhar a corrida das pessoas, que estao la praticando sua atividade fisica do seu jeito, respeitando seu limite, numa das corridas mais caras que temos atualmente. Por que voces nao aproveitaram a reportagem para falar de algo que realmente seja importante para a sociedade, que e a pratica do exercicio fisico?O segundo deles foi distribuir cachaca para o senhor que estava correndo. Muito engracado, nao e Leo Lins?!O terceiro deles foi tirar uma corredora da corrida para depois falar Olha so quantas pessoas passaram ela!. Quem disse que ela estava la buscando chegar a frente dos outros, seu tapado?O quarto e mais absurdo deles foi a parte que o monstro assusta uma senhora fazendo a mesma se desequilibrar e cair de rosto no chao, podendo ter se machucado. Muito engracado, nao e Danilo Gentili e Leo Lins?Muito bonito e engracado fazer
a senhora cair... Nao sao voces e nem quem voces conhecam, nao e?!Editaram de tal forma nao sabermos o que houve apos este fato, espero que nao tenham comprometido a corrida dela.E tudo isso para que? So para preencher o programa com alguma coisa? Ja estao sem ideias? Tem que apelar dessa forma para conseguir audiencia?Essa materia foi extremamente desrespeitosa e irresponsavel! O minimo do minimo que voces devem e um pedido de desculpas!Essa senhora, juntamente com sua familia, poderia/pode acionar facilmente a justica contra voces. Eu certamente faria isso se envolvesse alguem da minha.Gostaria de estar proximo da cena para poder enfiar a mao na cara de cada um que contribuiu com essa palhacada.Brincadeira tem limite e voces ultrapassaram todos eles. Eu, que de vez em quando assistir ao programa, faco questao de nao assistir de vez. Agora e tarde. Pode nao fazer diferenca para voces, nao ligo, mas para mim, com certeza fara uma diferenca muito grande e para melhor!Respeitem as pessoas para que possam obter o respeito em troca.Facam brincadeiras desse tipo com quem merece brincadeiras desse tipo. Os pilantras que nos representam la em Brasilia merecem, com certeza! Quem esta correndo tranquilamente so para poder concluir uma meta/objetivo, nao!Eu poderia mandar voces para aquele lugar (ou qualquer outro), mas nao vou me rebaixar mais a este nivel de voces.Bom... e isso, espero que sirva para refletirmos e repensarmos algumas coisas que acontecem. Acredito que minha indignacao e tambem indignacao de muita gente (como tenho visto por ai).Ate a proxima...
