Why do I fing blogging such an effort?

Really, I do. After a week has past, I just don't feel like re-hashing everything that happened in a week. Today, I'll just throw out some of my recent observations in Brazil:

• People in Brazil walk really slowly.
  
• Watched a guy on a motorcyle almost crash as he stared and honked at 3 women crossing the street. He didn't take his eyes off them as he rode past ... 50 meters down the street. It was only when he lost his balance and the bike swerved to within 2 feet of a parked car did he resume paying attention long enough to pull a u-turn to ride by and honk some more
• Out for a birthday shindig a while back, someone ordered some "canapés of milanesa." Sounds incredibly fancy, no? Well, I could barely contain my excitement when they arrived looking like open-faced grilled cheese with a chicken McNugget on top. The McNugget was actully meat instead of chicken, but it was pretty awesome.
• I figured out why people walk so slowly - they're busy staring at chicks
• Time for a quick Portuguese lesson. Chicken = Frango. Strawberry = Morango. You'll notice that they both end in RANGO.
• On Friday, I tried to order a strawberry caipirinha ... I asked for a "caipirinha de frango" three times. Three times the bartender looked at me like I was crazy. I thought he was making fun of me for ordering a girl drink. No, he was looking at me funny because I was ordering a chicken caipirinha.

And for those interested, I got to play lots of squash this week. Just finished a little round robin with Mateo and Andrés. My right foot had a blister that was bleeding by the end. I'm an old man falling apart quickly.
