Paraiso Tropical

23 03 2007

The new Globo Telenovella by Gilberto Braga; a typical hodgepodge of clichés, but still… I miss Rio, Belgium is grey compared to it, in every aspect. Instead of going to the beach and literally breathing life, we loose our time taxing antennas. A Brazilian would simply think: a new tax? a new way to avoid them; solidarity and politics have never matched.

Ordinaria, mal amada,… amazing what a rich vocabulary Brazilian women have when insulting one another.
