picture this....
ola all,
well picture telstra stadium
times it in capacity by 2
add a massive helping of brazilian passion
then drop the two best teams on the pitch to battle out the final of the brazilian football leauge......
and this is what i am about to go and see. it is going to be mad. 200,000 out of control brazilians. drums. flags. flares. singing. dancing.....
will keep you posted....
rio is like no other. brazilian life is very easy to get into.
light breakfast. beach/sun/swiming in the day.
beers in the afternoon
dinner for about 3 quid
more beers and street parties in the nite
went to a street party last nite and it was nothing short of amazing. about 500+ brazilians drinking/dacing/singing/drumming down the main street of copacabana (the equivilent to george street in sydney) all the while the traffic is just building up behind - and not a horn been pressed in anger anywhere. the ppl on the buses were even partying with the ppl in the street.
rio itself is breath taking. city is snug in the middle of massive mountains with plunging cliffs and one side and the ocean on the other.
finally got in for a surf yesterday - life is so much easier when there is surf involved....
better jet - footy calls....
