Umbutho wokuqala wokuqala neRio de Janeiro ngokungathandabuzekiyo i-carnival. Isixeko sidalwe ngokoqobo kwiintsiba, ubuhle kwi-skirt ezikhanyayo kunye ne-inceraundation Samba. Kodwa sifike phantse kwiinyanga ezimbini ngaphambi kokuqala kwe-carnival, ngoDisemba, xa zisekuhlaleni ezihle kakhulu kwaye unokusibona isixeko ngaphandle kokuqaqamba komthendeleko.
Uchukumisa ntoni? Esi sisixeko esimnandi kakhulu, kubonakala ngathi iqulathe ngokupheleleyo elunxwemeni, ulwandle luvakala nokuba alubonakali apho lungabonakali. Mna nomyeni wam sasihlala kwi-Embanment, kwindawo yonxweme lwe-Ipanoma, kwaye uninzi lwexesha luchithwe lulwandle.
Ewe kunjalo, into yokuqala ebesifuna ukuya kwindawo apho umdlulisi omkhulu wawufuna le nto - ngokwe-copakaban edumileyo. Ayilobunxwemeni kuphela, kodwa nendawo yekonsathi kunye nenye yezona ndawo zixakekileyo zedolophu. Intle, ayikho into ebiyelwe amanenekazi, ngokuvakalayo (kodwa engaqhelekanga) abathengisi, ilanga eliqaqambileyo - yonke le nto yenza imvakalelo yeholide kunye nolutsha olungapheliyo.
I-Promenade ibekwe ecaleni kolwandle lonke inxenye yeSixeko, kodwa kuya kubakho ukungacingeli okungalunganga kwebhulukhwe emhlophe engasemva kwefashoni, banikezela kwi-thong.
Kubonakala kum kwelona xesha lilungileyo lokuqubha apha bubusuku. Okokuqala, kushushu kakhulu ngemini, kwaye ulwandle aluzihlaziyeli kakhulu, kodwa ngowesibini, ebusuku akusayi kubonakala ukuba amanzi akabonakali kakhulu. Ngorhatya, iivenkile ezincinci ezineentlobo ngeentlobo zeempahla ziyavulwa ecaleni kwe-Promenade, kodwa kuya kufuneka unikezele - umhlobo wethu ovela ngasemva, i-wallet yakhutshwa kakuhle - kubonakala ngathi umntu obonakala ngathi uyathandabuza.
Ukuzola ngakumbi, kodwa nenxalenye entle kakhulu yesixeko - iipaki. Apha icocekile, igcinwe kakuhle kwaye ipholile kakhulu.
I-RIO yayiyinxalenye yohambo lwethu ukuya eBrazil, safika apha ngemoto. Okubangela umdla kukuba, ngaphandle kwe-jams yetrafikhi, intshukumo esixekweni inobuhlobo. Asizange sinqunyulwe, ndaphoswa, andizange ndibone ukungqubana okukodwa. Indoda yentanda-bulumko yachaza le mpahla yelanga kunye nokutya okumnandi.
Iihotele zibiza kakhulu kuneYurophu, kwaye inkonzo imbi ngakumbi. Yamangaliswa kukuba phantse kuyo yonke indawo eBrazil kwii-4 kunye neehotele ezi-5 ezinokusetyenziswa kuphela ngegajethi enye ngexesha elinye.
Kodwa i-Intanethi embi ayizange iwonakalise iimpembelelo zokuphumla, kwaye siceba ukuphinda uhambo lwethu.
