Shopping, buses and jumping around

Okay, Rest of the week was just bouncing around on the beach and our neighborhood.

There are two restaurants at the beach (so expensive it makes me wanna hurl) and some beach clothe stores. I think there might be one icecream shop also, I'm still waiting for this up coming summer season to show me how this village is gonna turn alive!

Campeche is not crazy millionpeople city filled with stores nonononono.
We have two supermarkets, both very close to our place. From "downtown" you can find organic stores where they sell hippie things, hardware store, flower store where you also can find fresh spices like basil, few gyms, meat market, fruit market, shitty furniture store, crafty stores and small we-sell-everything-you-need stores. Everything is little apart from one another. On night time snack food places open. We haven't been in any of those yet. SO if you really want to go shopping shopping you have to go to the downtown of Florianopolis.

We move around here by buses. On weekdays buses are more active because people need to get to work somehow. And on the weekends there is less buses and more people making streets crowded, so on a weekend it's kinda slow to go anywhere by bus.
In my opinion this bus traffic here is amazing (at least comparing to Finland.. damn), even though Mauri is hating very openly and every day the "fucking crowded bitch ass buses". hahah

Buses move here pretty much 24/7 so you can always kinda get home, even if you need to wait little bit longer to actually get the bus. If you want to travel this island from end to end, you need only one ticket. Even if you need to take 6 different buses. I think this is dope.

The buses go from terminal to another.
So you wait your bus on a stop, pay 3,50 reais and sit down. Bus is gonna take you to the terminal and from there you need to choose your next bus like bus to the downtown of Florianopolis for example. The bus is gonna stop in this downtown terminal and from there you can choose another bus to go somewhere else or you can walk out of the terminal and go shopping downtown.
You get back to the terminal by buying new ticket.
If you never leave from the terminals you can keep riding by buses as long as you want and only with this one ticket. Super cool.
Except if you want to take a bus to the continent you have to pay a little extra. The price of the tickets depends on the location you take the bus from. I think.

If you are senior, pregnant or you have some physical disability you just sit on the front of the bus and pay nothing ! Super amazingly wonderful!

Other than Finland, in Brazil the driver doesn't take your money, he focuses on driving too horribly. In the middle of the bus there is this dude who takes your money or checks your bus card and opens a gate for you. The ticket is 3,50 reais with cash and 3,35 with the card.
I think this dudes job is kinda unnecessary, but they have bunch of random jobs here.

Okay. Crowded buses indeed. You don't have seat belts in a bus and they are crowded as fuck, not always but often. There is no rules that you should sit on a bench. Some people don't mind being in a crowded bus and others calmly wait for a bus which is not so crowded. I don't mind. They don't have thieves or gross people here much so it's cool. Mauri is always so broken if the bus is full. haha.

From our place to downtown it takes about 20-25 minutes on weekdays.
We have to take 2 buses. On weekends in can take few hours.

This island is not small. I haven't been googling any specific lengths or sizes but from end to end with a car it takes about 2 hours if you just could go straight without any problems.
This island is one big city and it continues across the bridge to the continent.
So these areas where people live are like parts of the city. Like for example Queens of New York or like Hollywood in Los Angeles.

Okay, shopping. We went downtown right on the morning, we were supposed to buy an oven.
First I had to wait a while at Mauris school so he could handle few classes, other teachers didn't really know how to deal with me. Hahah.

We searched from every store and we couldn't find any cheap ovens anywhere. Then we remembered that we saw this one oven on the shitty furniture store right next to our place.. So we decided to go get that one. Hahahah.

Okay so now we started to search a couch.

I started to get tired and grumpy, it was hot and I was thirsty and hungry and ALLL the couches were too fucking expensive (I'm cheap I know) or really freaking ugly and we also wanted to get a couch where people can sleep if someone wants to come here from Finland or from Mauricios hometown (10h by bus).

But after a while WE FOUND THE COUCH! Nice, big and gray. The clerk almost fainted when I told him I want to pay the couch right away without any monthly plans. But these payment and money things over here are so insane that I'm gonna write a completely own text about that.

They promised to deliver the couch to our place on by Saturday and we bought this couch on Wednesday. Well promises, promises but let's see how it went down!

We still had some time to walk in circles after buying the couch and before Mauricios evening classes started so we went to see whats up with the Beira Mar which is one of the main avenues on downtown. There is no poor people living on that area I can tell you that..

Very Pretty.

You can't swim here, polluted.
