A business trip to Rio de Janeiro. Sounds great doesn't it.
Brazil has been in the news lately for their failure at the World Cup (where they were favorites to win) and political disturbances in the country.
Thinking about the country, it took me back a few years when I embarked on a business trip to Rio, to talk with a company who were interested in reselling my company's products.
This podcast episode reflects on that time.
My host advised me to not venture out on my own, because I am a Gringo. That advice I ignored, however I survived the trip and in addition gained a few memories.
I attended a football game with a couple of the staff I was meeting with, found an Irish Pub, and talked with a few locals out on the town.
Passionate people they are.
A couple of days in Sao Paulo added to the experience.
