Back From Brazil....

Thanks gents....:D

So the Brazilian people are very generous and helpful, they will give you the short off their back, but they operate on Brazilian time..:D ..if dinner is scheduled for 9pm that means you show up around 11:00...

The food is some of the finest this side of Italy, but Brazil is not some place I could live. The poverty is heart breaking, the crime has is sooo bad (this is no joke) that at night you...do not.....ever.....stop at a red light...

We had dinner with my Master's old boss a very sweet, very rich building contractor who showed up in a "please don't notice me Ford escort like car" and when we left the restaurant his body guards had brought a different car for him to drive home while they shadowed him in a 3rd....just no way to live.

Gas is just over $5.00/gallon and that is for a city where poeple make $200/month so the biggest car I saw there was a Toyota 4 Runner....can you imagine the looks on peoples faces if they saw our Trucks rolling down the street..man it would be a hoot right until we all got shot...:D

The only place where you could leave your stuff unattended was at the tournament...obviously....:D....

To answer the belt question....I am wearing a 2nd for scoring purposes...My scoreboard was yellow and green...all scoring is through hand gestures...the ref is wearing a yellow/green wrist band...when he gestures with that hand...he is refering to my score...

I will have video on Saturday...when I figue how to upload it...I will post a fight......
 
COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - the part about the fight video :D

The rest sounds very sad - makes me glad to be an American!!! :D :rock:

Congrats on the win, wow silver....well it matches your truck!!! LOL

Yeah I have always heard Brazil is one of those countries with very little middle class. Lots of rich folks and brokedicks. I have watched a lot of documentaries on how bad poverty is there.

Sao Paulo is a crazy huge city with insane amounts of poor people. I could not deal with the crime thing though. No way. Watch out Rice Eater when your down there. Thank God I live in America!!! Make that thank God I live on Maui!! LOL
