Transition - to my friends in Pittsburgh

eng.
All my friends know how I like stability and change/adventure at the same time. And that makes up for a lot of "good" mess in my head, when I welcome big changes in my life and have to pay the price of going through a huge transition period until I go back to my "new" stable situation.
So, here it is...I quit my job that I liked so much with colleagues that became friends, and, boy, that felt weird! Next, I stepped into a plane leaving all my good friends from Pittsburgh behind. No comments there!
I'm absolutely positive that I'm gonna be very happy with my new choice of life, but I'd like to dedicate this post to all the people that I met and that I loved to have a close friendship with in Pittsburgh.

I'm gonna miss you all...a lot!

And I'd like to make public my huge thanks to Shyamala, Navyash, Raghav, Rukshana, Kiran and Kavish, who invited me to live in their house for the four last months in Pgh and made me feel truly as part of their family. The Gupta family is the definition of the word "generosity"!

Here's his contact info and some prices he gave me:

- from airport to Ipanema/Copacabana or vice versa - R$ 55
- from Camboinhas (the beach near my house) to the airport - R$ 75
- from Ipanema/Copacabana to Camboinhas - R$ 75

La bonne amie de Carolina, Christiane (prononcer Krishtiani), qui lui donne un coup de main avec les menus détails du mariage, recommande un chauffeur de taxi pour les touristes. Il a des bons prix et parle bien l'anglais (eh oui désolé encore une fois pour les gens qui ne parlent pas le dialecte de Shakespeare). Cependant il a besoin de votre horaire à l'avance pour pouvoir s'organiser lui-même un horaire. Voici ses coordonnées et ses prix : M. Alfredo, tél. cell. : 9935-1905, courriel : deltaclass@hotmail.com

-de l'aéroport à Ipanema/Copacabana et vice versa : R$55
-de Camboinhas (la plage près de chez Carolina) à l'aéroport : R$75
-de Ipanema/Copacabana à Camboinhas : R$75
- par heure si vous voulez vous promener autour et à Rio : R$45 pour 4 personnes et R$75 pour 5 à 12 personnes

1R$ = 0,58CAD$ au 21/10/2008 

P.S. On dit 1 real (pronocer  oum héaow) et 2 reais (prononcer doïs héaiss)
