Talvez voce nao seja muito bom de memoria, mas, para a Perdigao, ninguem fala nao. Mesmo que o nome esteja trocado. Aqui, Perdigao se chama Fazenda (eh isso mesmo que esta escrito ai). Alias, tem varios produtos brasileiros no supermercado daqui (Perdigao, Sadia, Tramontina, etc.). A razao para o nome Fazenda, voce deve se lembrar por causa desse post.
Fora isso, tem as marcas mundias. Eh muito engracado ver como ficam os logos que as empresas gastaram milhoes para valorizar sendo totalmente alterados por causa do alfabeto cirilico. No Flickr eu coloquei o McDonalds e a Pizza Hut. Com tempo, eu coloco mais.
Abrasssssss.

The first half of this post doesn't make much sense if you're not Brazilian. It's about the Brazilian brands present in Russia.
But the second half is funny for everyone (I hope). It's about the changes done on world famous logos because of the Cyrillic alphabet. Especially after all the money they invested to make them well known everywhere. At Flickr you can see the "new" McDonalds and the "new" Pizza Hut logos. Soon, I'll upload more.
Cheeeeeers.

Par ou impar?
Odds or evens?
A primeira vez que eu vi as placas ai da foto, imaginei que os tracos simbolizava a rua, ou quantas pistas ela tinha. Um dia, sai com meu motorista e, antes de estacionar, ele me perguntou que dia era. Depois que eu respondi, ele estacionou na calcada oposta aa que estavamos trafegando. Por curiosidade, perguntei o que tinha feito ele trocar de lado. Resposta: os tracos sao, na verdade, algarismos romanos I e II (1 e 2). Nos dias com final impar, eh proibido estacionar do lado "1" e do lado oposto nos dias pares.
A razao para isso eh o inverno. O caminhao precisa ter sempre um lado livre para jogar a neve que se acumula na rua. Quando o assunto eh inverno, os caras pensam em tudo.
Fui.

The first time I ever saw the signs in the picture, I thought the strokes represented the road, or how many lanes it had. One day, I was out with my driver and, before he parked, he asked me what the date was. After my answer, he decided to park on the other side of the road. Out of curiosity, I asked what caused the sudden change. He told me that the strokes are actually Roman numerals I and II (1 and 2). On days that end with an odd number, you cannot park on the "1" side of the road and on even days, it's the opposite. The reason for this is the winter. The snowplow needs a free side to move all the snow from the road. When it comes to winter, they think of everything.
Cheers.

Meninos, eu vi.
I saw it.
Corcordo com quem diz que isso nao faz deles tecnicamente gays, mas devo dizer que tambem nao adiciona em nada aa masculinidade dos cidadaos. Ainda mais na casa dos 60 anos. Para demostrar afeto, acho que a bochecha esta de bom tamanho.
Beijos. Ops...

Someone told me that the soviet tradition of kissing (or saluting if you will) comrades on the mouth had disappeared. Well, like all former soviet republics, it reappeared. Yesterday I went to a restaurant and at the table next to mine there were 3 businessmen in suits. After a while (and a couple of shots), they got up and exchanged 2 friendly kisses each.
I agree with people that say this doesn't make them technically gay men, but I must add that it doesn't add much to their masculinity as well. If you want to show you care about someone, a kiss on the cheek should be more than enough.
Kisses. Ooops...
