The Iguassu Falls Area Guru

This video is part of the Vote Iguassu Falls as one of the New Seven Wonder campaign launched by the Swiss-based New 7Wonders company's campaign. The video shows an Argentinean and Brazilian who accidentally met at the world-famous Falls. The Brazilian, the shorter guy, greets the Argentinean, the taller guy in a blue T-shirt: How beautiful, isn't it? The Argentinean says, yes it is.... but it is more beautiful on my side of the falls. The discussion continues until the Argentinean invites the Brazilian to his side of the waterfalls. The Brazilian agrees that the Argentinean side is more beatiful but complains that it is it is noisy. What do you mean noisy? Then an Argentinean girl shows up.. and both seem to agree that all is well until the Brazilian says that "they are more beautiful on my side". It is too much for the Argentinean. The video was produced by VisionArt , a local Iguassu Falls Publicity and Independent TV Production company. The video was uploade...

A few days ago I was walking my way to work when I found by the roadside this very old-style painting of Cabocla Jurema - a spirit guide belonging to the Mixed-Indian-non-Indian breed of Brazil in the Afro-Brazilian religious tradition of Umbanda and Candomble. I saw the picture and imediately I decided to take it home. But there were two problems. First, the picture was soaked wet. There been a downpour minutes before, Second, it was 3 p.m. and there were people "looking" on. Anyway I stopped by and took tthe picture above. The I decided that I could not take the picture since I was going to work. Maybe on the way back. Ai 8 p.m it was time to go back home. I was at the bus stop when I remembered the picture. I imagined it lying there waiting to be soaked again by the next downpour. Then, all of a sudden I said to myself: Walk, I will walk. And I did start walking the nearly five kilometers that separated me from the picture. Finally I was there. I saw people near the pic...
