Why I hate crowded places
Today was the Gay Pride Parade in São Paulo. The city’s most prominent avenue, the Paulista Avenue, was completely taken by about 3,5 million people (according to the people who organized the parade).

Long time, huh?
Yeah, I know. It’s always the same thing. I try to keep up with this blog, but end up posting only sporadically and people stop visiting. In fact I’m even used to it. The point is, I often forget to post here. There are thing’s I’d like to talk about, but I just don’t have…
