Living in Brazil I am enjoying the culture, commenting on the differences, celebrating local expressions and inviting others to enjoy all Brazil has to offer.

You know you are in Brazil when
You know you are in Brazil when the normal, everyday, all hours of the day Carnaval celebration television commercial looks like this.
You are right! And it Globo has done this exact same level of nude "vinheta" for as far as I can remember, perhaps since the late 70's. I remember them arresting women in Copacabana in the 70's and 80's who were are part of the feminist movement and wanted to go top less on the beach and then Globo TV goes showing some girl completely naked like this every year. I guess during Carnaval everything goes. Can you picture this in the US!!! The right wing freaks would have a collective aneurism if this happened here... :)
We arrived in Brazil in January, 2008 to start up a new chapter in our life together. Luiz has returned to his hometown and I've jumped into the deep end of the pool ready for anything. Let the fun begin!
