Like most of our travels the morning routine includes breakfast at the hotel which consists of some breads, fruits, coffee, and today they even have two cereal options. After showers and Thais and Raphael arrive we are ready to head to the subway to begin the touring. We walk a couple of blocks to the station and I am amazed by the volume of people on the escalators heading up this morning. They just keep coming from the depths below and all I can think as we ride the escalator down is we are fortunate t... read more »

Eu, Oscar de Castro, como um cético convicto, às vezes penso que já vivi em outras épocas -ou vidas como dizem- mas o que isso diz? não muita coisa: mas tudo bem, em relação ao o homem pouca coisa me surpreende, violência, ganância ciúme etc... mas... ... como acho que já vivi em outras vidas (mas sou ateu) é natural que saiba disso, mas tem fatos que mesmo tendo vivido muito ainda me read more »

Spring - Oscar Llapso Perfect timing for this Oscar Llapso special as Spring is just showing us the sunny side of things. This is one that just came in to us from Fake Flamingo Records. As you guys already know Fake Flamingo Records is a company where artists create music under pseudonyms. After bandcamp sales reach over $1000 a limited 12" record is pressed and shipped to 100 people who have paid for the bandcamp release. This is a wonderful concept as it allows artists to create music free from cor... read more »

As many of my post start out it was a sunny morning with just a few white puffy marsh mellow clouds in the sky. On several of my trips to Brazil, I have either caught a connecting flight in Brasilia or due to less expensive airfare it has been where stop I flying and find other ways to travel the remaining distance to Goiania.
