A round of freedom fries for the Italians!
Don't get me wrong ... I don't have a problem with French people. That is, at least, no more of a problem than with the rest of humanity, with whom I actually have a big problem. I didn't like that they beat Brazil, but I did like that they went on to LOSE (ha ha) in the World Cup final to Italy today.
I'm in Rio de Janeiro right now. People had been telling me since before I got to Brazil (before November) that I had to see Rio, there's all this blah blah blah to do and whatever. And I was always like, Listen, man, I know Brazil, all right? So don't go telling me what's cool and what's not.
Turns out I was wrong. I don't know shit about Brazil, or at least I didn't until I got here on Saturday morning (at 5:30am, I should add). Rio, while like any city has its problems, including a pretty significant threat of violence, is an amazing place. It's far more modern than I expected - more like Buenos Aires than Sao Paulo. The architecture is incredible, and the place is just freaking huge. It's one of those place, like New York, where you could live for 10 years and not know 10% of what there is to do there. Especially if you sit in your apartment reading books all day and not answering the phone because some annoying douchebag thinks its a lot of fun to go to some club and oogle at chicks, none of which either of us have a chance with.
