at the cartório

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.

Furukawa admite que reunião com Marcola integrava proposta do PCC http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/cotidiano/ult95u121614.shtml

Olá Today the PCC, a local crime organisation, burnt 61 buses around São Paulo and killed 30 police and civilians in a retaliation for the descision to move their leaders in a high security prison. We are in a civil war. It is hard to believe. I just wanted to show off some pictures I did with my celular. Here we have myself, taking my breakfast at the padaria next to our house. Here is "Edna" the place's good soul, knowing each customers orders, name, history, future and past. Clearly a person who found her destiny. Ok..after the padaria I take my usual way to embatek. The other day I took my cousin to Capão Redondo, the most run down bairro of São Paulo. It is where rural live meets urban poverty. Isn't that nice. Sell a sitio for a camihão. Cleary a pre internet/ebay form of finding your customer

tuesday night, we just came home from the cinemas. matchpoint, the last woody allen movie, placed in london. young, handsome irish extenispro marries into rich uppercrust english family, falls in love with his brother in laws fiancée and kill her to keep the lie up and not lose his newly won status. afterwards a thai soup in restaurant mesticio and a 30 min walk home. It IS cold here...some 15C degrees and life is just flowing like a lazy river.

imcartório

wieder einmal sitze ich im cartório, einer der obsoletesten Institutionene, welche dieses Land zu bieten hat.

hey again sunday morning in São Paulo. Valeria is giving water to the garden because the winter wheather has brought some dry and cold days. Reading the veja makes one want to leave this wonderful country. After the Bolivian Presindent invaded Petrobras' factories the four populist leader meet in Uruguay and Lula has nothing better to do than to CONGRATULATE Evo Morales. A clear kick in the groins of the Brazilian People, who, through Petrobras have invested in the region. This is a much bigger step, because it shows that Lula is really NOT at all a democratic leader but more and advocat of his own PT, a socialist group of politicians that still want a socialist revolution in the whole region. Very sad. Lets talk about more intersting stuff. This site about Ashtanga Yoga, my recent pasttime is excellent www.ashtanga.com For a test I also want to post a little picture I made with that new Photo Boot app that came with Pedro's new computer. Really cool...If Andy only knew

tsia.. Ostern fangen gerade an und es ist Donnerstag abend. Leider hat unsere Abreise nicht geklappt, da wir beide zu lange gearbeitet haben. Jetzt noch 3 Stunden Auto, Supermercado einkaufen und alles...das ist zu viel. Schliesslich sind es ja auch noch 32 Km dreckstrassen bis zu Breno's Sitio. Die Zeit habe ich aber genutzt und unsere wedding fotopage gemacht. ist noch ein prototyp, keine Reihenfolge und so...einfach ein paar Fotos, damit auch Cesco an Ostern mal surfen tut. Ich wünsche euch schönen Schnee und viel Spass. Wir reisen morgen, bei Sonnenschein nach Sul de Minas, Gonçalves. hier click und...( oh wunder)..die erste von 2 Seiten
