Brief Hello

[commonpeople1]

I'm in Londrina, visiting family. All my bureaucratic problems with the military were solved within a day, without a hitch (and for less than 2 pounds).  I can now renew my passport and sort out my other legal documents here.  

Took loads of photos. Am taking the midnight bus tomorrow back to my mom's guesthouse: a 12-hour trip.  It's 32 celsius, which is apparently "cool" after a recent heatwave.  Am slightly sunburnt and crawling the shades whenever possible.

My dreams have come true: LJ now accepts Google Analytics! I installed it today and I'm very curious to see what comes up after the first 24 hours.

Say hello to my stalkers.

congrats on the paperwork sorting.

Thanks, but it was none of my doing! I simply chanced somebody who was happy to sort it out as quickly as possible... what a relief.

you made the appt., you flew to brasil, you met the guy/woman...good stuff.

also, I hope the ash cloud goes away soon so that you can return to England and re-unite with Kevin.

I hope he gets on a boat and comes live here with me!

It looks beautiful there. Glad to hear that everything worked out so easily--sometimes the Universe just lines up for you! Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Thank you! It does feel like coming here was the right decision.

I know, eh? I'm so relieved.

If you managed to get all the paperwork problems sorted this quickly, it shows that the Brasilian bureacracy are frankly amateurs in comparison to our wonderfully impenetrable equivalents in Europe.

Maybe we could also teach Europe a thing or two about elections (everyone here is required by law to vote).

interesting...

I'd like to see a law enacted over here that forbids non-voters from voicing any political opinion.
