And while Portugal would be cool (despite its third-world status...), I have been freaked out of visiting Brazil ever since watching City of God.
An old man sat on his sister on the bus; if there's no seat available they freakin' sit on top of one another.
What that suggests about their birthing laws...I'll leave it up to you.
just a little retro SNL for ya
Poor triplets.
Poor Oprah addicts.
I want your job.
And the fact that she didn't included New Guinea on her list. They speak portuguese there.
It's true, i saw it on Oprah.
