where brazil is at its best. the legal sistem of this country still has some nice little medieval leftover in place. for every step, every copy, every contract has to be "certified" by an institution called cartório, at considerable cost. These places are hereditary and... well I really, really hate them. They do no service whatsoever, charge dear and are so ridiculously childish by putting at lot of monsterous stamps on every paper you might need. The one positive thing about them is, that waiting in line for my paper gives me time to type this blog.. sad console that is.
