Em termos gerais, deslocando-se no sentido oeste (contrário à rotação da terra) você estará sempre "na frente" pois os fuso-horários decrescem, a tendência é que você esteja mais ligado e com disposição nas primeiras horas do dia do lugar de destino. Isso faz uma diferença maior quando os deslocamentos são grandes, de uma pernada só.

... last night to Sugar Loaf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A3o_ de_A%C3%A7ucar). We hiked up about 45 minutes to the lower peak and then took the cable car up the rest of the way. The view was pretty amazing and we stayed up there for a while. After grabbing lunch we parted ways and I walked around Copacabana a bit before heading home. Tonight the weekend starts!

... many cars only use daylight-running headlamps at night and some no headlamps at all, and each and every Brazilian drives rather crazy and has total disregard to posted signs or lights... they must think they´re suggestions or perhaps are an attempt to trick them so they do the complete opposite out of spite.

... movies, the personal experience is quite profound, similar to my experience of seeing Michaelangelo's David in person after studying the work in art history textbooks.

The last highlight of the trip included a visit to Federal University in Rio, a publicly funded university that sits on its own island. Our gracious host, Monica, set up a lunch meeting with some of the professors in the business school who generously ...

... la un chiosc pe strada (si sunt o gramada) si am baut niste sucuri de fructe - Dragos - mango cu banane si eu - abraixao cu inca ceva ce nu imi mai aduc aminte - delicios, oricum. Maine trebuie sa mai incercam altele. Deci - suntem foarte bine, ne place Rio mult de tot, totul este ok si ne este deja foarte dor de Vladutzu´ nostru. Maine o sa punem si niste poze, sa vedeti pe unde ne-am plimbat. Acum avem ceva probleme tehnice :D Va pupam

... seriously payin for last nite. The match was class was between Flamengo and Recende the place wasnt packed but the atmosphere was unreal, they really take the game to heart. Flamengo were the overwhelming favourites but Recende completly outplayed them the whole way through the game. This didnt seem to matter to the Flamengo fans as they were singin and chantin the whole way through the game . The atmosphere was class, id say it would be unreal if the place was packed.

As it was Annie's birthday she got to choose what we did today. We started with a late wake up and a very leisurely breakfast. The hotel restaurant was on the 5th floor and today we got a window table with a great view of Copacabana Beach to eat breakfast to. We walked to the Metro station and went to the Sugarloaf Mountain by Metro and bus. It was a really easy ride and, on the train, a local lady insisted that I should sit down as I had a white cane. She was getting off at our ...

... every day, but it was clear how fond he was of the people we saw everywhere and vice versa.

When we discussed doing one, we were concerned that a "favela tour" might be exploitative of those less fortunate than ourselves, but the reality is that the people living ...
