>Always when beginning carnival, I say: This year we will enjoy carnival for at least 15 miles of distance (and every year we increase one mile).. :)

well, as you can see, I incresead several miles... :)


>But, as I sad to Hilmar: Carnival is very important for the social/cultural integration of different people.. Our society has many/many different cultures living in complete peace..

well, "almost" complete peace... it's just a matter of getting rid of Fernandinho Beira-mar and all of his followers. ;)


>Claudio, I have some experience to live far from Brazil and believe me.. Some day you will miss all that: "Crazy wild thing" ..Unbelievable, but truth ..Just tell me, when you be ready.. ok ? :)

I can assure you in advance that that's not gonna happen. I've always hated that "batuque", and all that Carnival stuff, and I'm loyal for my principles. <s>

>BTW, how great, is to see you, growing in the profession.. you are a great guy/professional and deserves a lot of success..
