A weekend to be forgotten

My last weekend was not very good because I had a very bad lucky on Friday. I was going to the bank by bike and, as the bank was going to be closed in 10 minutes, I needed to hurry up. In the way to the bank, there were a lot of sprinkles watering the the grass on the sidewalk, where I was riding my bike. As I was very fast and the floor was very wet, my bike slipped and I fell down. I skinned very bad my left leg in many parts. And it got worse, because when I arrived at the bank, very wet and dirty, the bank had just closed. So, I had to go to the other, that I did not know was pretty close to me. If I had gone to it, I wouldn't have gotten hurt. And after going to the bank, I went home and had a painful weekend.

Housing peoblem

Besides of too much homework. There are lots of problem that I need solve in Madison. Last week I talked about parking problem. Today I wanna complained about the housing. I don't sign the next year housing contact. Right now I rent for short-term apt. of my Chinese friends. It's very cheap. However, if you want sign a new apt. for next year, it's not cheap at all. For example, the lucky building for on single room of 2 bedroom type will cost about 1190 $ for one month. It not include utilities. For parking space cost 220 $. It's much more expensive than Beijing! I don't know why. If you want rent a apt. near campus, normally will cost your money about 900 $ for a month. It's not include other fees. Really soooo expensive! And I want to rent sheboygan area apt or Eagle Heights area apt because of low price. Unfortunately, they are already full right now. So, I have to continue to looking for my new apt. for next year. I am so afraid I have no place to live. Besides, I need lots of things to do in Madison. Like change my driver license, change my car plate number, open a new local bank account because I cannot find Bank of American in Madison that is the bank I am using right now. It's really inconvenient because it is hard to get cash. And lots of things in Madison they don't accept credit card or debt card, like tuition fee, rent payment, and so on. Sorry about  that I complained so much. But my life is really busy and tired in Madison right now. I hope I can make these thing done in the future! come on man! :）

Art exhibition

Last Saturday, Lorrayne and I went to the Farmar's Market. However, when we arrived close to the Capitol, there was no farmar's market, because there was an art exhibition taking place there. I got really upset because I did want to each the delicious cheese that I have never tasted like it before. I did not buy cheese, but I could have a good experience and know a little about American's art.

Soccer and Beer

Last Sunday, I went to Memorial Union to watch the final match of the world cup. I enjoyed it with Kiku and Shouda, drinking local beer, named milller light. I was happy to see Germany win, but I didn't understand why Messi was elected as MVP. I think Mulller or Robben deserve it more. Anyway, I like beer very much. I heard there are many kinds of local beer in Wisconsin. My neighbor, Neal, told me that to join a brewery tour is very nice for beer lovers. It is very interesting to know how to produce local beer and why many beer have different tastes and colors. As I haven't had a chance to drink beer enough since I came here, I want to go to a brewery and enjoy beer soon.

Madison West Target

Last Saturday, I went to Madison West Target, a discount retailer to ask them to repair my broken bicycle. I explained that it was initially defected and the brake doesn’t work well to a clerk. Fortunately, he said he can replace the broken bicycle with a new one, so I accepted his proposal and got a new one. I was surprised because I had expected that replace is difficult because I used the bicycle for a few weeks. And, I was glad that the clerk responded very quickly. I like Target very much and want to use the store more often.

Davi - My life in Madison

Madison is definitely a place that I would live after going to school here! I love the weather, the traffic, the public transport system (which is really different from where I live in Brazil..), the Mandota lake (Terrace) and, maybe the most important, the people I have met here. My experience here have been amazing so far, and I have nothing to complain about. I can't wait to my parents to come visit me here so I can show them what a great city Madison is. I hope stays like this the whole year long!!!

Weekend

This weekend I didn't do many things. I started to go to the gym on saturday and I went sunday too. Saturday also I went to the Fresh Market and I bought some food to cook; I miss home food, so I decided to cook at home.
