Well well...
...old pic of Mike and Fanny,btw - where's the suntan? 
- last Friday one of my classmates (who's from here) was alerted because he was smoking near the department's entrance,which is not 100% open area(it is covered above) and there was a CCTV camera nearby filming the scene!
Even with the smoking ban,I see many young people smoking,which is a contra-sense!
-Internet and education: even myself,who's doing a MSc,I do rely so much on the internet to get all the scientific paper articles to do my assignments,I don't need to spend hours and hours at my uni's library to do the very same job I can do in my room!
-Loved the economics thingie with Jake,it's important to teach our kids the value of money and work.
-the flood thing...well,me coming from Sao Paulo,where we are so used to floods (once I almost lost a exam at my uni there because of being stuck at home),it's so painful...
-health and safety,oh yeah...tons of cases everyday,some of them seems competely out of tune.
This is my third time here and I have to confess that this country has changed a lot,and not for good in many cases. I did come here to study 'cause I felt that for the area that I've decided to pursue my career wasn't that good at all in Brazil. Luckly my parents and I worked very hard to achieve that!
