I lived in Brazil for the whole year of 2005. Tenho saudade, sim. Especially when I see magazine issues like these. I was actually able to meet and chat with esteemed Brazilian architect, Oscar Niemeyer while I was there as we lived in the same condo he worked from on Copacabana Beach. To this day, one of the most memorable moments of my life. Most of our convo was actually about how I got robbed!
He asked in Portuguese, with a smoke in one hand and an espresso in the other, "Was it with a knife or a gun?" To which I responded "knife." He winced. "That's bad," he said. "Knives hurt more."
So gangsta.
Oh Rio. I know now why they blame ya.
