I like my ambient as racist as can be.  |

Sure, I hear they really like people!

Why are you heading out into the jungle? That's almost as dangerous as Australia? |
Missus Lira got a job here. She's a lecturer at a local university, and I'm a lecturer in Brasília. We're both fed up with this situation, really, but it'll take us a while to bring her back to the capital.
(Though I also think of moving to Manaus... Jokes and scorching heat notwithstanding, I love it here)

Is there anything non-lethal? |
Ninjas. It's so hot they can hardly muster up the courage to kill anyone.
True story: This is one of the reason many Japanese immigrants died. They thought the locals were lazy and kept working on rice paddies all they long. This seems to have severed their immune system, wiping them out :(

How long does it take you to get there via Prime? |
It's weird. The plane took off at 9 PM, landed at 10 PM, the flight lasted 3 hours.
Damn time zones :p

I actually tried to do it last year (yes, the picture is mine):
What this picture doesn't show are the three topless teenage girls that were dancing with them, which made me realise how much of a Christian I am. I was incredibly uncomfortable snapping pictures (or recording anything that lasted longer than the blink of an eye), and I couldn't stop blushing, so I came back home with nothing but shame for having bothered them at what I clearly assumed was the wrong time.
I'd be a terrible anthropologist :p

Well, I'm pretty sure I can find velvet monkey testicles at some specific stores :p

Haha, I looked it up after your post, but the only place I found is in... Bahia. Why the hell someone would go to Bahia for that is beyond my understanding... That's not what Bahia is for :p

Hey, this is actually doable :p

Sorry, refer to quote above :D
Seriously though, I didn't expect seeing so many Jews here. I'm not even joking, there are loads of them! There's a synagogue with orthodox Jews, Jew villages in the middle of the forest, and tipping is mandatory here, so - yes, you're about to read exactly that - our Jews do tip :p

That would be fun! I actually like it here, but the wife wants to have a mini-me (or a mini-her) and hospitals are better back home.

My Nokia is no match for these birds! My pictures would look a lot like this:
I mean, it's so blurry this bird looks a lot like a dog! |

Lira I only ask you to get one thing and one thing only...
Wait for it...
...
Zika
Goodnight everyone |

Actually, that would probably be a good thing:- I'd develop zika antibodies (and, probably Guillain-Barré wouldn't be a problem),
- I'd eventually infect my wife, who would herself develop antibodies,
- We'd wait as long as possible,
- She could have the mini-me she wants and zika would probably no longer be a problem.
Besides, I suspect I'm not among the most vulnerable. The mosquito that carries the zika virus is also responsible for the transmission of dengue fever, which I've never had. Sure, I could still get it, but they don't usually go for academics who stay indoors until the sun comes down :p |
