One day before I left I have the
impression that Rio is like my home town
and I was
completely relaxed. The first 2 days
when I arrived back to Canada, I felt
that I was still in Rio. My friend waked
me up the second night and it took me at
less half of a minute before I can
adjust myself for the conversation. That
really confused her too. Ahhh Rio, you
are always on my mind.
Nice
country, nice people. A place that I
probably come back in the future. It is
not an unsafe place to visit as
described in several forums. Brazil is
a country with warm people, warm weather
and wonderful landscapes.
Top remarks from Rio:
One thing that impresses me most is
that the Sambodrome can hold 83,000
people during the Carnival but is
maintained squeaky clean all year being
constantly monitored.
I have to give 10/10 to the
security
people who work in the Sambadrome.
Another 10/10 to the city workers in
uniforms who clean the streets. Keeping
the streets spic and span is their
mandate and they do that night and day,
rain or sun. Absolutely. Even at the
wee hours of 2 in the morning it is a
constant vigil. Hats off to you guys !
Things wanted to know:
I will be glad if someone
can tell me
the meaning of showing thumbs up in
Brazil. I saw it everywhere when a
driver yields to another one, even in
the DVD I bought, Valeria Valenssa teaching how
to dance Samba, she showed her thumbs up
in one of the frame.

Thumbs up in Brazil means that
everything is fine...all
right..ok..isn't it the same in other
parts of the world? Well..I guess that
us being "happy" people..we should use
it more often. Nice that you liked my
country.
Cheers!
