Price Book
Published on February 27, 2020.
When moving cities, one of the challenges that I face is to rewire my brain to know the local prices and where I will find good deals.
I searched for a Android app to help me keep track of prices of grocery shop and I decided to give a try to Price Reminder (Price Book). So far I’m happy with it.
Price Reminder (Price Book) isn’t open source. I searched at F-Droid but I didn’t find a similar app.

In 2019, I read a few books and watched some YouTube videos about minimalism.
This year, I decided to try live as a minimalism. I’m limiting my possessions in Ouro Preto, Brazil but I still have some possessions in the UK that I didn’t have time to discart or move to Brazil.
Carnival in Ouro Preto
Published on February 22, 2020.
Ouro Preto is famous for their carnival. Since I’m living here, I wanted to go and see a little of the party.
I arrived very earlier and the street were, except for the traders, empty.
One of the groups that participated on 21 February was “O Zé Pereira dos Lacaios”, the oldest group in Brazil, that was created in 1867.
Another group that participated was Gatas e Gatões.

In 2000, I moved to Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. After my round the world trip in 2019, I decided to move in 2020 to Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brazil and start a master at the Federal University of Ouro Preto. It is fun how life goes around.
