Hi, I have been in Brasil for 3 weeks, coming from the UK (Oxford).  An old friend of 20 years (will admit that he is an ex boyfriend/fiance), that I left to go to work in Bahrain as, hate to say this as Cabin Crew with Gulf Air for 5 years, - what a twank I was. Returned to South Africa, got married, divorced the usual senario, worked for Eurocopter (learnt to fly an BC105 - out of hours now), then BNP Paribas. I am a hotelier by profession and fluent in French - did a BA in Angers, France at the Catho there. I am now a freelance translator and goes where the wind blows.  Born in Nigeria, schooled in the UK and South Africa (privately - the English expats - send's one's home to be educated!!!???), fat lot of good it did me.  I have lived in the UK, Nigeria, France, Switerland, Bahrain, and now Brazil, not counting the rest that I have visited (4 hours at a petrol station in Austria).  I have 2 step children (girls) 22 and 24, moving from SA to the UK.  I personally have no children.  I smoke too much and love my Sauvingon Blanc aka, Britgitte Jones, but not as fat, forget to eat.  That is me in a nutshell.

hello, for how long have you been living in sao paulo ?

One and half months, think I bought the rain with me.  How long have you been here?
