FELIZ ANO NOVO
2010 is here And so begins a new decade, or the ? second decade of the third millennium in a year Opinions are divided about it Anyway -. it started, and I wish all readers and readers of my blog happy new year with a lot of power, the decisions good intentions into action.
After Christmas with the extended family, surrounded by many, most loving and friendly people were celebrating, we wanted to celebrate New Year's Eve in a small circle. The four of us, together with our dog, my mother and my brother-in from Salvador Florianopolis with his younger daughter, who currently stay with us.
prepared the culinary artists, this house us a sumptuous feast, which we favor o us at temperatures around 27 degrees on the porch. Meanwhile, gathered in Rio de Janeiro at the Copacabana estimated two million people dressed in white to greet the new year. And there will be an exciting year. This much is certain.
THE WAY IS THE GOAL In a few days we will start again. Salvador da Bahia, the first capital of Brazil, which is a target. The other objective of getting there. We have in fact decided by land, that is to travel by car. One reason for this is that we can take our dog Lucky. Another, that we want to learn about this country not only from the airports.
Anyway, the dog. Not only is he now in all family members is very popular. Also on the street, he is the undisputed star. He sees "cuddly" in, barking like not so good, sits down before crossing a road toward good and waiting for the command "run" down, met everyone friendly and curious. Lucky is So come along.
this country is very large. The roads are so long. From Campo Grande to Salvador there are almost 2,500 kilometers. Simple. Four days we have budgeted for it. With three nights.
On the way back we want to take the direct route. This will lead us through the capital Brasília. On the way we want to take a small detour and visit the historic city of Ouro Preto and parts of the coast.
What's for such a journey to prepare? The car can be inspected. Maps to study. Holidays with a constructive attitude toward dogs to locate. A "manager" for our house in Campo Grande involved. Dog food wrap.
During the journey promises to be an adventure, we'll put the Salvador-made nest and sit at the dinner table can. Accommodation and meals - in the house of my mother in law – gesichert. Zum Strand („praia“) sind es von dort keine fünf Minuten – zu Fuß.
Ursprünglich hatten wir die Absicht, von Salvador aus, dann aber per Flugzeug, für ein paar Tage nach Rio de Janeiro zu „jetten“. Wir sind jedoch zur Einsicht gelangt, dass das des Guten zu viel wäre. Rio wird noch bis März auf uns warten müssen.
FRANZISKANER WEIßBIER Mitte Dezember veröffentlichte die Online-Ausgabe der „Wirtschaftswoche“ an article about Brazilian companies, which - to conquer the world - - largely unnoticed by the public and in the midst of economic crisis. Author of this article is - of course - Alexander Busch, who wrote the book on this already cited "economic power in Brazil" comes from.
This article cites as the group Marco Polo, who is with Tata of India to develop the common bus factory largest in the world. Or, as the meat producer JBS, the two-thirds of his 28 billion dollars in the U.S. implement. One reason for their success is the high interest rates in Brazil. As in all parts of the world also see companies are under pressure to achieve a return on sales, which is well above the level of interest rates for relatively low-risk investments.
However, there was another mentioned in this article, which touched me personally in a peculiar way. That the world's largest brewing group "AB Inbev" also comes from Brazil, which was known to me. That popular in Germany, "Beck's" belongs to that group, I shrug noted. But that with every bottle of Franziskaner wheat beer money flows to Brazil, which made me now do not really cold. So, dear readers, the next time a freshly poured out in front of you stands Franziskaner White - close your eyes and listen to a closer look, whether to be examined because a wave of noise or a samba drum. In this sense: "Saúde"
