Yesterday was our first business visit (BNDES) Brazilian Development Bank. On our way there, we stopped by the Military base of Cocacabana-we took a few pictures because there was a really good view. BNDES was a huge building in downtown, right across the street from Petrobras! BNDES is the main financing agent for development in Brazil and has played a fundamental role in stimulating the expansion of industry and infrastructure in the country. They promote sustainable and competitive development in the Brazilian economy, generating employment while reducing social and regional inequalities, something that Brazil is stricken with. They are socially and environmentally responsible and even have an Amazon fund to help the Amazonian people live in a sustainable way that does not harm the rainforest. The presentation was pretty interesting so it made it pretty enjoyable.
Last night, we went out in Leblon, another part of Rio. We first met up at a bar called “Devassa” where we all pre-gamed for about 2 hours and then went to a “funk” discotek called “Melt”. We went with our friend from Rio named Ana. At Melt it was 25 cover for girls and 60 for guys but Ana talked them down for it to be 15 for girls, 25 for guys thank god. Melt was crazy, there was a bachelorette party there, so many beautiful women. I can’t explain to you that every woman in Brazil has a perfectly proportioned body, tan skin, and long hair. It is amazing. Anyways, we made a few friends, one of them named Gabi who says she is going to take us around to all the sights in Rio…people here are so friendly! We left the club around 3:45am, people literally party here until 6am…intense. We didn’t have school this morning so I slept until 12.
