Wow...it's a Brazilian version of Panama City, FL

I'm working about 70km away close to …

One export however that Harry can definitely bring to England ...
Carneval in Porto Seguro
How to say, I moved to here for Carneval to see girls dressed up in small costums, and drummers going around ... But it was like a Techno party in Europe ... :-(
the most exiting part was, when the police stopped a street party which was blocking the trafic for may be 2 hours. Two police man stoped a 300 people party, finaly using the pistol and shooting the growd. It became a bit ...
