I always saw this 946 bus which goes to the bus terminal
every morning and timed its arrival around 7:45am outside my house. I looked at my watch, which said 7:38am. Just another
5 minutes wait. So why not give it a try! Truly enough, the bus came at 7:45am
sharp! I was a happy man since I didn't have to walk for 20min today!
Unfortunately, the happiness only last for 20 minutes too. After more than 30 minutes,
I was still circling around Vicente Pires!! Only 45 minutes later did the bus
exit to the main road!! Obviously I was late for the day.

Saw a lot of fire engines outside the stadium when I reached. Perhaps all were
getting ready for the opening day of World Cup 2014 tomorrow!

Started to feel chilly and sneezing! Sign of a cold coming!! I kept drinking
lots of water to make sure that didn’t happen.
The wind was getting stronger.
It was another quiet morning. Met Dilson and Thiago who were on their first day of work. After lunch, Laura brought us for a tour because there were two new guys around. Thiago was actually from a city 200km away. He drove here all the way just to participate in the event.

We all went home doing nothing today. I Ieft early around 5:30pm to get a lift
from Thiago. He was going to Taguatinga. He was new with the roads in Brasilia.
Marcus gave him some direction which I realized later that it was actually
going the other highway parallel to EPTG. And, it was too far to stop me half
way along the road at Vicente Pires. Hence, I had to follow Thiago all the way
to Taguatinga and that was really a pain. We were stuck in the traffic for more
than 2 hours!
In the end, I was directing a Brazilian back to his destination
instead, using the Google map. Finally I found someone who has lesser sense of
direction than me!! (Sorry Thiago if you happened to read this. I was just
teasing you) Making sure Thiago was safely "home", I walked to the
main road and caught a bus back to EPTG. Eventually, I spent 3 hours to get
home, feeling conned by Marcus for suggesting to Thiago to send me along.

Quickly showered, I went to bed exhausted as usual.
