Mark,
<p>Well, it's not necessary to say that I have absolutely LOVED your "Trip to Brazil" section - as you may ask why, I'm Brazilian...!
<p>There are some interesting facts to tell - things that have changed since them. I think PanAm broke some years ago, VASP is always in trouble with financial scandals, Cruzeiro now is part of Brazil's economic past. Our currency is the <i>real</i> since 1994, when the annual 1000% inflation fell down to (!!!!) about 12% (now it's about 20% or 30%... 1 dollar = 3 reais). And also, there are no more public phones using <i>fichas</i> - since about 1993, 1994 we talk on public phones with cards. Maybe Verduria would be interested in sending an ambassador to Brazil...! At least the climate is close!
<p>Oh, I'm sending also a separated e-mail in order to help you with some Portuguese phrases, names and making tiny corrections.
<p>Well, I just can't wait to read the next release!! It's amazing!
<p>Ad onlelán,
<p>Gustavo Gersonei Pereira
<br>(does it looks like a Verdurio-Portuguese name???!!!)
