"Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe We shall overcome, some day "
The head waiter was overly long sleeves and in his wandering the room is forced to keep their arms folded. Well! small thing given that in theory he should not use their hands, but monitor the situation and talk to customers. To serve and to take the orders are the waiters. The waiters recommend them to you, say that the style of the head, without coat for luck, but have complicated life for an order must write two notes, and more often we lose a life behind. Writing is not just their craft and wielding his pen more like a rolling pin or as a delicate instrument for engraving letters with meaning. They have white shirts with necks too wide bow held together by matted and blacks definitely faded. Not that I'm a gentleman or a man accustomed to great service, but it was just to welcome in South America and for you to understand that things are going quite differently than the old continent.
It took me a while to re-acclimate, I admit, as they were four years that are missing here, and I'm modes, colors, tempos, sounds and smells of perfume, you live and breathe here. The transition from Australia to Brazil spontaneous perfectionist, but full of life, is not always easy. The quiet car of the Australian continent with the automatic traveling on streets so smooth and straight to sleep you are in contrast to the noisy four-wheel in the Americas that move a little hiccup for that mixture of alcohol and using diesel as fuel . Aziono yet, after one week, the wipers instead of the arrows that are on the left here and there ... on the right, such as driving. Here the streets are
jungles of holes, crowded with every type of vehicle. They range from those who pushing a cart loaded with iron or plastic to thin and tired horses that drag men on top of cars that seem to coaches. Then there are the SUVs targati Paraguay by dark glasses that will not slow the sink rate, much less to make people pass a zebra crossing. The rest are all kinds of cars that are used to capacity barrel until the last breath and then smashed to recover some money on the market for scrap metal.
Along the roads you sell coco de agua fria. At the corners there are people who seek the path to be taken to unknown destinations. They try, but do not seem to find the right way or maybe they found it before us, deluded forever to walk the path more accurate and faster.
Traffic lights need to be understood and interpreted. How much time remains illuminated red or green gradually different. For turning left takes you to the middle of the road and you're ready to leave as soon as possible, not like in Australia where it passes one at a time ... strictly follow the stripes on the ground that will determine your range of movement. But I had already told you this.
buses whizzing fast and often do not stop at bus stops because they are already overcrowded. People are waiting, however, seems to shrug and wait expectantly or perhaps resigned the next year, maybe it will stop.
Women have huge asses tight jeans that wrap around with and move on heels always exaggerated. Shoe Stores such as pharmacies are everywhere, and shoes you can buy in installments. On the plates exposed in the windows is the full price and then split into different slices. You can feed five euro and eat excellent meat for ten. People drink for drink "mate", to which concentrated in a glass timber, then add ice water.
The sun is still beating strong even if in theory we are in late summer and prepare for the autumn. The ants, the slalom field, are working continuously to be planted in their homes because tiny pieces of leaves and give life to that rot fungus that keep them alive during the winter. Not have breaks, are organized at best. There are those who write the size and sifts and those who transport from producer to consumer, seems to be on the Milan - Venice weekday with lots of Tir and machines in each
you do. They work hard at the thousands of people working to keep clean the area of \u200b\u200bthe Itaipu Dam, the largest in the world with its 20 turbines that produce electricity for 25% of all Brazil and 90% for Paraguay. An architectural achievement that is scary in terms of size and extent. We can not stop thinking about the majesty of the work because I would feel dizzy and fall to the floor wondering where the unarmed man can ever arrive. Welcome to South America!
Eye wave!
