Still in goiania

day 15& 16: (9 & 10 -11 -2008)

I like it here in Goiania. its calm and cheap compare to SP and RJ and people are really nice. yesterday (sunday) i went to look for the Memorial de cerrado Museum and Casa do Indio.
and I ended up in a ghetto (again). Funny was when i walked at the Av. Bela Vista, i could saw the huge cultural gap here in Brasil. on one side there were the beautiful condominiums and on the other side the more crappy houses. I found Casa do indio (although its actually Casa de saudé do Indio). but it was more a reservate than a centre for gathering of the indigenous people. I don´t really like it to visit reservate.... maybe the Indian themself tried to isolate themself from the rest (but why was the lock on the outside of the door, not inside). it was totally what i was expected (open space some houses, and not prison like compund) so i decided not to go in.. F* hypocrite, i know. but i want to meet Indian people in the amazon on the place where they belong. Memorial do Cerrado museum is the one i didn´t find. but i know where it is now. so i go to visit it today. i also have appointment with Kiko from Casa do walker (tourism agency). want to fix a trip to chapada dos vedeiros NP. a bit north east of here. the good thing now i´m here in Goiania is that i have some breathing space and i finally could finish my Art of War by Sun Tzu .
the actual book it self is not to long to read but the commentary from the PLA general is more detailed and during the liberation campaign by Mao Zedong he actually used alot of tactic from this 2000 year old book. for meself it´s good to know that i sit here ideally on the focal ground (junction with easy acces) and it´s cheap. economy is a major point in war.

You must see the book as a metaphore. My campaign is my Journey here in SA. the battles are the places i visited and want to visit and economy is of course my budget. It´s gave me huge insight into management and that´s another goal i want to achieved. `know your enemy and know yourself´. boa... here is the map of Goias with Chapada mark as A. i hope to see some jaguar. because it´s what i want to see here in Brasil... it´s same as going safari in Afrika to see elephants and lions.
