I live in Rio and I'm a gringo. So what?

When the football game is over and your team full of cariocas just lost.

  When I go to the French consulate and I remember how to deal with the French public administration

...and meanwhile, teams trying to do the job.

When a new project is starting and my Brazilian boss gets teams organized...

Cariocas, their flues, and their every-5-mn sniffles in meetings.

Segundo o Globo, mais uma prova de vandalismo no Rio.

When I go to the beach on a sunny Sunday

When I try to get an appointment to the doctor and 70% of the doctors listed in my plano de saude's booklet actually refuse my plano de saude.

Friday atmosphere at Rio's offices

When I pay my bill cash and they still ask me : Debito ou Credito?

When public transports in Rio will finally give the possibility to pay for a yearly or monthly pass

When cariocas decide to boost air conditioning at the office...

Female cariocas taking spontaneous pictures...

When I decide to come back home by bus on a Friday night.
