| Graffiti in Porto Alegre |
How it happen was that there was a chess set layout one fine
afternoon and I commented … 'Oh Chess!' …. and they asked if I knew how to play
and if I would like a game. I ended up trashing them and they would not let me
leave. Payback or revenge was on their mind and I played so many games with
them while also playing with my computer at the same time till the third day.
Due and Marco took turns trying to beat me and another girl
Lue which was staying there joined in the foray. Daytime was chess and night
time out came the Poker Chips. If I trashed them in Chess, they obliterated me
in Poker.
The third day ….. the day I was supposed to leave for
Montevideo-Uruguay I packed my bags , checked out and walked to the bus station
only to find out all the bus was fully booked and I was stuck in Porto Alegre
for another day. Back to the same hostel and when I walked in that door they
were so happy to see me for one last chance was possible for them to win me.
Porto Alegre was a lovely town in Brazil. Not to popular but
still a nice place to stop for a few days. Most people use it as a gateway into
Brazil from Uruguay and Argentina or the other way around. Most major bus runs
the trunk line and must pass Porto Alegre so even if there was not much to see
the town still gets a decent amount of tourist.
Exploring the place thou can be a mysterious wonder. Hidden
streets, local markets, and great local food makes up for its lack of singular
major attraction. The other nice part was it was safe considering how much
Brazilian people are paranoid about safety, the place felt more relax and chill
compared to Rio or Sao Paolo.
