Capaz! This Legendary Expression Of Southern Brazil Couldn'T Do Justice To My Expectations And Promises Ahead Of A Two And A Half Week Visit To This Country. One University Two Football Teams Three Barbecues Four Chimas Five Cities Six Hotels Seven Beds Eight Pounds In The Real For A Pair Of Alpargatas The Whole Nine Yarns. The Trip Was Well Timed To Coincide With The Crescendo Of A Political Crisis And A Spontaneous Blanket Protest March And Amply Spaced To Reminisce About Previous Travels To This Golden But Cursed Nation. However Would I Be Lucky Enough To Escape The Tribulations Of A Thinly-Cloaked English Independence Campaign Otherworldly Business Email Chains And Nutty Correspondence From Sharing-Economy Tenants At My Summer Cottage Before They Walked Off With My Front Door Knocker? All This And More As Told To A Pda During The Morning And Evening Commute Of A Careworn Northern Line Rider.
