Goodluck man. Life goes on. In the end, everything works out some way or another. Have fun back home, and dont let the situation sour Brazil for you.

Keep your chin up bro - no matter what life will still go on (I know that is not what people want to here), I think its good that you are going home to be with your family.

Good luck bro - I hope she comes around if she is truly the one.

Hey Dynasty, I just found your epic thread on living and training in Brasil. I had already been seriously thinking of going there for 6-8 months to train and your log gives me more motivation to start planning.

I have kind of an odd question however. I'm asian and was wondering if there was any weird cultural/racial concerns I should have if I was to live there. I've heard there is a large Japanese + Korean population there, but are they fully integrated or do they keep to themselves? Basically are they perceived as different? It would be awesome if the girls over there had a little yellow fever

And good luck with the girl situation man. Hope everything turns out well.

thanks for the kind words guys..im going home tuesdayd earl in the morning, like at 6, and shes gonna com spend some time with me before..no big deal..sure i love the girl, but ive been doing my thing..i actually went to a club last night for a friends bday, and she got a vip section, i started drinking and let my gringo game roll..speaking english and stuff..was a fun night..i wish i coudl tell u half of the things that have happened to me here..one day when i write a book i would include all the good stuff..im not lonely thats for sure...just want the one i want..

and you guys are all right going home to be with my fam and friends is gonna help a whole lot...i have nothing but time to think here..and im gonna leave on a goodnote with her..and if one day she wants to try ill be there, but my life wont stop

the first time i broke up with her..5 mins later i was having sex in my friends kitchen, i got so mad, cuz she was being jealous....i told her to leave me alone..so i guess i kind of asked for this whole situation i did it to myself in a way..just didnt realize until it was too late

on a better note, the girl that i hooked up with that night..me and her were hooking up for awhile, and she had just broken up with her bf, so it worked well for like 3 days....im not gonna finish the story, because im pretty sure noone is going to belive me anyway, haha, but id you trust what im telling you guys...things have happened to me in this country, that im not sure could ever happen at home

im glad i have this time to reflect now on my time here..remembering the good things that i learned, and will live with me forever...at the very least i will have a lot of stories to tell my son one day, haha

like i have been telling you guys since the beginning..if its your dream to get out here and train with us..do it..and dont stay at home and just train and sleep..go out..see the city, go to clubs..and have fun..i regret sometimes when i had fun more than trained, .there came a point when i got tired of doing all that shit..but unless your going to live here like i do..get out and have a lil fun

anyway guys..i dont even know what im talking about anymore..im sure what i just wrote is very jumpy, going from one subject to another..but im just speaking as im thinking



Chute boxe round 3 coming in august...this time back home.

stay tuned guys..ill still keep updating while im at home..

ok..well your question is a good one..be prepared for everyone to call you japa...and when they say that its nothing racist, but thats just how most japanese people are called here..just like me..everyone knows my name, but everyone calls me gringo..only my really good friends call me by my name..and you should expect the same..but just dont take offense to it..it doesnt matter if your korean , chinese, japanese, they will probably call u japa..

curitiba has a very large japanese population, the park where the gym is located is actually located in praca do japao, which is like japanese square...there is even a huge business building near the park that has the japanese flag at the top..you will see the asian culture is big here

if i were you, if you dont have already, something i recommend for everyone who wants to come here, is to make an orkut..its like myspace, and almost everyone here has one..i met alot of people that way and got some really useful info and made alot of friends

hope i answered your question

oh and before i forget the girl that i was hooking up with, almost all her boyfriends were asian, and shes super cute, so i guess she had some of that yellow fever you were talking about...

my advice brother is speak english with girls to break the ice...almost always works, haha

i dont do it anymore, but i used to do it alot..now that i know portuguese i say 3 words, they see i have an accent, and ask me where i am from..thats another good way

haha come down bro, have some fun, and train hard
