Hi Claudio,

Oh, I know about the currency. Cruzeiro, then (what was it?) cruzado, then new cruzeiro, then cruzeiro, then real. Right?

I worked for the Banco de Estado do Sao Paulo for some time in the mid-80s. My primary function? Writing programs to move money out of Brasil and back in on a daily basis. LOL!

I would love to return to Brasil. Maybe one day.


>>I lived in Brasil (Rio) for several years when I was very little. I don't remember any monkeys. I do remember the cruzeiro was so devaluated that it cost millions of them to buy popcorn from the street vendors.

>well, after the cruzeiro our currency has changed its name and value several times... nowadays it´s called "Real". You don´t need millions of Reals to buy popcorn, but the way the economy is going, who knows...

>>Brasil is a great place!

>Good to know you liked. :)
>Tks, John.
