that I have a knack for unusual coincidences, I was already several times to experience during my travel project. And so I'm not surprised really that surprising Meeting in Rio de Janeiro me randomly for the first time to a host of travelers making. But let's start from the beginning.
Saturday night. Late in the evening. Rita is on the guest list of an exclusive party at the Copacabana Palace and I decide to go alone in the famous district of Rio's on tour. After I sold my girlfriend at the hotel, I make myself to look for an ATM. The beer in the bars must be paid for it. (It should be noted briefly: After 22 clock, the machines pay for security reasons, only 100 real (around 40 € off) After that nothing, not even in others. Machines.)
on a road parallel to the beach promenade, I trip over a big hole in the road, stumble, but I can still catch the last moment and prevent a nasty fall. Very close me watching two young men. You can not help a grin. I look at them and immediately notice that are not from here. "What the hell" I say loudly. "A hole in the mid of the street!" It must also make me laugh. I am curious and ask in English, the origin of the two. "Allemanha!" They said in unison. "Talk Oh, it makes us so well in German," I say. The two called Chris and David. You ask, "Do you come from Germany where you come from?". "From Osnabrück " I reply. No sooner spoken, screaming at the two: "That there are not Waaaas We live in Osnabrück?" For several days they had now been in Brazil and had not a single German made and now they come just to me, adopt a native of the same Stadt.Wir to make us work together to find a cash machine, to then einzukehren in a pub . "It's clear that we stand together on a few beers, we all agree.
A few minutes later my phone rang. Rita. She tells me, the organizer of the party had now placed me on the guest list and I should come but the Copacabana Place. I told her reports on the random encounter. Moment of silence on the line, then she says, "You can bring your friends no problem.." So we meet Rita at the hotel. But the party we might not ultimately, as we are indeed on the guest list, but we still have to pay - and not too tight. First, my money goes to pay later to even the taxi ride home. Second, we do not spend too much money. We decide to visit a nearby pub. The Mud Bug Sports Bar . After a few drinks is certain: Rita and I invite the two of us spend two days at Barra da Tijuca in .
After a few days on the Ilha Grande Chris and David beat finally with us and make that does not actually officially my first "couch surfers" on my return as "Extreme-bed-hopper". Really they dared not accept our invitation, first, they tell us later. "Perhaps it was also only the alcohol that you have invited us, and actually if you wanted to not that," says Chris. So I tell you in detail about my project and they understand: Daniel is a loose Type that is sincere. Rita has me in advance even asked if I trust the two of Osnabrück. "They seem trustworthy," I say. In addition, the two will not even misbehave or get even long fingers. I live in the same city and eventually could pay them in doubt after my return home a visit .
fact, we have four of a great time here. Visit the Barra Shopping Center, one of the largest shopping centers in South America, beautiful throw on the beach of Barra da Tijuca (one of the most beautiful beaches of Rio) in the Waves and spend an unforgettable holiday last night with a handful of non-Brazilians in a small bar just around the corner.
goes back a few hours In their flight home. The items are packed. Even a last tour of a favela have taken the two today. A good friend of Rita, his name is Beto, has agreed to lead to Chris and David. "It was sooo hot that you have invited us. You guys are in a good mood," she would like to thank Rita and me. And we will really only left to thank us: "Chris, David You are great first" couch surfers "We have been looking forward to both. ! A reunion in Osnabrück "
