We showed up at the Sao Paulo bus station, picked a bus to Curitiba which left in 10 minutes, and we were on our way.

    The journey from Russia to South America was a long and very smelly one.

  3. Sexy Brazilian, Secrets Included at J Sisters Salon

    Blog: Paris By Appointmenty Only - 20 August 2009

    Would you believe me if I told you that people travel across the world to have their private parts waxed in New York City? You ought to, because like pizza, bagels and overproduced musicals, NYC does the Brazilian bikini wax best.

    Blog: Cities for People - 20 April 2009

    Following on from my earlier article on the Western Harbour Malmo, here is a new description of Curitiba, Brazil. As Cities for People go, Curitiba stands as a shining example. 3 time Mayor of Curitiba Jaime Lerner was first appointed in 1971.  Jaime Lerner believed that Curitiba should be a city for people, not for cars.
