US Expert departs Brazil after week with Brazil Expert

Matt,

What can I say after a post like this?

Our friendship started through Expat-blog and remained in the virtual world until now. It grew ever closer as we talked over the phone and Skype resolving your issues and more still once you became a member of the Experts Team.

Now I have had the very great honor of meeting you face-to-face and the extreme pleasure of your company in my home for the past week. Our friendship has become a true and lasting one as a result and I know that as soon as you hit the road heading back to Rio that I'm going to miss you terribly.

Thankyou so very much for giving me the opportunity to see Macaé through your eyes and teaching me so many reasons that I had not seen before to enjoy being in this city even more. It has really been a life changing experience all around.

Just remember when you come back the Brazilian saying..... "Minha casa é a sua casa!"

Cheers,
James

good to see a friendship like this...

Are you hinting that Matt isn't taken seriously now? If so I can assure you that he most certainly is taken QUITE SERIOUSLY here and that the mere fact that he has been selected as a member of the Expat-blog Experts Team is a clear indication of that. The information contained in his postings is not only completely accurate and up-to-date, but also extremely helpful to our members.

If your posting was tongue-in-cheek and meant to be somehow funny I certainly did not see it in that manner. Quite to the contrary.

Cheers,
William James Woodward, Expat-blog Experts Team

Of course it was a joke, hence the smiling face.
Sorry you did not see it that way, meant no harm, he is always taken seriously

Howe dare you suggest that Matt change anything about himself.  Are you trying to be funny?  This is very serious business!!!
