Diante da acirrada disputa no mercado de trabalho, experiências no exterior como um intercâmbio passaram a ser por demais valorizadas pelos RHs da vida. Claro que quem tem bala na agulha vai fazer intercâmbio na Nova Zelândia, Alemanha, Inglaterra... Eu estou indo pros Estados Unidos, o estino escolhido por quem determinou o programa e criou o concurso de bolsas.
- Estados Unidos é intercâmbio de pobre.
- Mas pobre não faz intercâmbio!
- Faz sim, se tiver ganhado uma bolsa como eu!
Por isso, estou deixando família, amigos, faculdade, estágio pelo período máximo de 1 ano. Vou fazer parte de outra família. Estou partindo rumo à terra do Bush, do McDonalds, do country e de Hollywood. Não quero fazer a América nem deixar ela me fazer. Quero iluminação, amadurecimento, cultura, histórias pra contar, um melhor currículo, um punhado de dólares e eletrônicos mais em conta! Nessa ordem.
Mas não se preocupem. Nas palavras de Jesus e Schwarzenneger: Eu voltarei!
De Bonsucesso para o mundo:
Natalia Weber tem 21 anos e é estudante de jornalismo da UFF (RJ). Parece uma americana, mas é brasileiríssima. É suburbana com orgulho e está prestes a adentrar nos Estados Unidos. Ela nunca viajou de avião, nunca arrumou uma mala tão grande, detesta McDonalds. Vai ser Au Pair numa família muito boa e com (graças a Deus!) uma criança. Uma criança linda, fofa e maravilhosa. Espera ter bastante tempo pra estudar e espera encontrar bons cursos pra fazer e complementar seu currículo. Espera também aprender a dirigir bem rápido pra se mover lá. Espera conhecer Nova York. Por livre e espontânea pressão, tem a possibilidade de visitar a Disney, mas se não conseguir se livrar dessa, promete enviar uma foto esganando o Mickey! Ela está com muitas saudades dos pais e amigos, por isso espera que eles venham sempre aqui.

Hello Kitty Beatles! :-D
... so I read somewhere about this japanese Beatles cover band... I don't remeber now where. Guess I just looked at the 9:30 club web site, since I go there sometimes to see what's coming... And I thought, "why not, you know? 'Cause at least you know that the music is going to be good, in principle!"
Guess I also wanted a prerogative to go out and have fun at last, and then thought about getting Candy to go. She has just came back from London and I couldn't wait to hear her stories... Of course, Daiana joining us is implicit!
I suggested it to both of them, and as I though agreed. Greg and Nathalia obviously made fun of me, 'cause... you know... a japanese Beatles cover band??? But they were supposedly good! They were playing at the 9:30 club, which is very respected... they toured with The Killers. And I saw them at Youtube, they are good! And the guitar player even looks a little like John Lennon!
But we were a little scared, because we have this incredible talent of getting into a mess. Bad show, no people than us, getting lost, miss the concert, all of that passed through our minds... but we were brave, we faced the challenge!
I didn't bring my camera and Daiana forgot hers! I was maaaad... we stopped at a CVS to get a disposable camera, so we could have a material memory of this day!
We meet Candy (and Camila and Martha, going off to Philly, wanted to say "hi") and we where kinda late already, and the metro ride took forever. Glad I bought the tickets in advance, the think was sold out, and I was glad... at least we weren't the only crazy ones! The place is really simple, the opening band was good, we were already dancing! And everyone stiff as a rock.
Those americans, man... c'moooon!!!
Finally, they arrived! The Paul McCartney one is not thaaaat good, he sang with an accent. But the John Lennon one... MIGHTY CUTE!! He does look like John Lennon, he is how a Hello Kitty John Lennon would look like!! Daiana lost it, she was calling him cute in portuguese...
Here he is (the best that the disposable-camera-that-turned-on-the-flash-when-it-wanted could do):
The best pic:
They were in those cutesy suits just like the Beatles... and that japanese smiles! They were so happy!! The George Harrison one was having a blast, he would come really near us with his guitar and he even played the guitar on his back!! And we where so excited and dancing and also happy. And nearly everyone around where still stiff as rocks! C'moooon!! The were playing "Twist and shout" and they didn't even twisted!!! Those people disappoint me...
Us:
Not all pics came off in the end... shoootzzz!!
Anyway, those people don't get happy even when they are drinking, so what's the point anyway?
They played Hard Day's Night, Help, Obladi Oblada, Twist and Shout, Don't let me down, I wanna hold you hand, Let it be, Please Please Me, While my guitar gently weeps, I saw her standing there, Strawberry Fields (greaaaat!), Come together, Sgt. Pepper's... I mean, all the great great classics, and they played really well... and at the encore part (people shouted really hard calling them back, looked like they enjoyed it! I just wished they danced as they shouted!) they played HEY JUDE and I just looooved it! 'Cause "Hey Jude" is THE song, perfect ending! Na, na na na na na naaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Woooooooo!!!
It was great, and everything worked out!
Of course Daiana and I paid a visit to our rescuing McDonalds (or "Golden Arches of Heaven"), 'cause we were hungry.... We ate but they didn't have ice cream! HOW COME?? So we bought one at a CVS...
Got home at 4 am. Not that the concert last so long, but the metro+car ride is long.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
por Weber ! 2:57 PM !
