Hello, I am so sorry I haven't posted in a long long long time. The last time I posted Filipa was in Cabo Verde and I was going into 3rd grade. Now I am in 4th grade. Last summer I went to Cabo Verde! It was a blast. Filipa now goes to UMASS Amherst. She is visiting for the Columbus Day weekend!!!!!!! I have a 4 day weekend because Tuesday is Professional Development Day.

Well Bye,
MaYa :)

My day at the hospital

152 steps. I counted. I am on my way to the hospital where I was born.

Me and David at his lab

This is the machine that mixes the blood.
David is a hematologist, he studies the blood

David showed me how it works.

I saw pink and purple dots. It was other people´s blood. My mom told me that David was one of the doctors who saved me when I spent two months in this hospital.



Celeste was my nurse and she showed me a really tiny baby inside an incubator and twins also inside sperate incubators.
My day at the hospital was awesome. I also saw my first physical therapist, Amélia. But I forgot to take a picture with her.

TDM

On Wednesday I went to a workshop with my friends Alice and Sara and there I saw two other friends, Ema and Zara.



We cooked there. I had a blast. After the workshop my mom took me to TDM. TDM is a television station. My mom used to work there
. I saw where she sat.
My mom´s friend Fernanda showed me how to edit images.


Then I got to go into the studio and sat where the reporter sits.


I pretended to do a Weather Report.


I had a blast at TDM!

O Jorge é Mau and me

I wrote this on my travel journal:
3/24/10
Today, I am on the plane and I don´t know the time. All I know is that the plane is BORING sometimes, and I am somewhere in the world, there are 13 hours and 08 minutes until I get to Hong Kong. I stopped at Newark, New Jersey and I ate a hamburger for lunch. So right now I have not had fun yet.

Flight Information

Outside Air temperature - 56 F
Estimated Time of Arrival: 7:15
Ground Speed: 558 mph

The distance from Newark to Hong Kong is 8441 miles, 15 hours. After I arrive in Hong Kong I have to take a jetfoil to Macau.


3/27/10
Today I have jetleg. Jetleg is when you are tired and your hours are switched. In Macau, for example, if it is 8:00 in the morning, it´s 8:00 at night in America but the night before. Macau is ahead of America by 12 hours.


3/29/10

Today, I went to the Red Market. I went with my mom and Grandma. My mom said I was having Culture Shock because I did not like the market.

I did not like the market because there were too many people and too much confusion. There were cars and motorcycles were driving where people were walking. At the red market the fish was alive! I did not like that either.
