Quick note from the road

By Xiaochang Li | February 23, 2009

Landed in Salvador yesterday morning and just settling into the whole Carnival flow of things. Sadly discovered that I had left my camera cable back in Boston, so I won’t be able to upload photos until I acquire an SD card reader, which likely won’t happen until Sao Paulo since roads are a mess here and most things are closed due to the persistent( . . . ly awesome) street parties.

Which is to say that there will hopefully be more substantial posts about Brazil towards the end of this week or early next week.

One unfortunately missed photo-op, however, was the Brazilian customs form, which had a space reserved at the bottom for promotional materials. It led to visions of one of those bright “You Ad Here” ads you see on subway cars and on the doors of bathroom stalls, but stamped below a list of questions regarding whether or not you’ve handled livestock in the past 15 days.
