>That explains your excellent English. How long did you live here? I know a Brazilain near where I live who loves our temperate clime for its varying day length, with the long,long days of mid-summer, twilight instead of sun down - BAM - pitch dark.

Well, I consider my English so, so ... it used to be a lot better when I was there, of course. I used to practice the accent a lot. Once I was trying to pronouce the "i" correctly, as in "did". We brazilians tend to say it as in "deed". My landlady tried to show me the correct way to say it, using the word "knickers". We were in a restaurant, and there I was repeting "knickers", "knickers", outloud. huahuahuahuahuahua ... she was terrible, once I noticed everybody around was laughing at me.

Yeah, the weather looks funny to us. I enjoyed been out with sun light at 10:00 pm !!!

I will always keep extremely good memories from my staying in England. I still have good friends I made there, we are like family, always in touch. Hopefuly I will be able to pay them a visit again soon. I used to do it almost every year after I left. I will give custard a try then.

Well, long story huh?
