Travel blog of a year-long round the world trip.
Currently in London, UK.
(the first leg of my trip in a nutshell -- route as originally planned).

Let the Games Begin [29/12/03] 

I've left Lencois and refreshingly the most unxmasy and least predictable Xmas of my life behind and have arrived in Rio de Janeiro several days ago (after my legs atrophied and I caught up on some sleep during 36 hours of bus rides).
Here in Rio I've been doing the Rio thing: lying on Copacabana and Ipanema, looking for the girl (lame joke, sorry) and enjoying the vibes.
My camera's gone on an extended holiday again (I won't go into details) so unfortunately there'll be no pics of Sugarloaf, Christ the Redeemer and the usual postcard shots for a little while. I will upload some Ipanema sunset shots soon though.
Anyway, almost all here is set for New Year, a party of two million people all dressed in white on Copacabana beach. Should be interesting.
But I may use this New Year instead to remember all the dead foreigners and Iraqis, now that people seem to have been forgotten after a certain son of an ex-president has finally gotten over his Oedipal inferiority complex by finally catching something, if not words before they leave his mouth (sorry, I promised I'd stop the ranting but the hostel here has cable and I've been watching too much late-night BBC and Fox News. That always gets my blood curdling.)
Apologies, happy New Year and all the good things for everyone in the next one! :)
