Yes - I love the country and the people. Most of my baltic travels over the years have been business and I never spent more than a week at a time in Denmark and Sweden and Finland - and never made Norway.

My wife has a lot of probable Dane/Swede roots in her background

You should really take the time for a pure relaxation sightseeing week or two in Denmark. It's a small country but it has got a very rich history.

Definitely worth a holiday.

true, but ask them and wait for the denial. Your brazilian though, so I dont doubt your have more knowledge than I do.

yes, its true, werner von braun is a good example of this theory !

 

[muller]

It's not on the list, so I'd like to know what comes to mind when you think of Ireland?

And btw, the team that crashed in the Andes were a Uruguayan college rugby team. No soccer players would have survived that!

 

[JugBR]

irelan ? guiness, celtic culture, rock, traditions...

 

[muller]

Rock?

 

[GrauGeist]

Rock?

Ireland produced some great music talent:

Van Morrison, Thin Lizzy, U2, etc...

 

[JugBR]

thats true !

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Ireland - Guiness, Red Hair, N. Ireland and the IRA, Kilkenny, Murpheys Irish Red, Pale Women with Red hair and sexy accents.

In funny that our usually innofensive ( dont go to favelas) tanned party lover neighbours from the northeast ( Brazil) is so related with nazis by a niederlander, specially when you had some fellows like this one back in th 1930s and 1940s.

This topic is becoming one of the most educatives.

By the way:

Ireland: admiral Brown.

 

[muller]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned rain, rain and even more rain!

Admiral Brown is relatively unknown in Ireland, I believe every town in Argentina has a street named after him!

 

[109ROAMING]

I like rain but not with rain and then more rain

 

[CharlesBronson]

Admiral Brown is relatively unknown in Ireland, I believe every town in Argentina has a street named after him!

More or less so, the heavy cruiser in my signature was also named after him.

 

[JugBR]

isnt that a funny combination ? carnival and nazis ? a nazi carnival ?

about favelados of rio and/or villeros of buenos aires, the true is they are the real self-made man, we should send them to teach americans how to live with $100 a month. i gess they will need in a closer future !

can you imagine a corralito in washington ? its close to happen...

first a corralito then a cazarolazo.

 

[CharlesBronson]

Absolutely nobody can lives with 100 dollars a month, that is why there is so much crime in the favelas, the people is looking for "other means of support".

can you imagine a corralito in washington ?

I cant, I didnt imagine a 700,000,000,000 rescue for banks also but still happen.

 

[JugBR]

Absolutely nobody can lives with 100 dollars a month, that is why there is so much crime in the favelas, the people is looking for "other means of support".

are you sure nobody can live with $100 ? theres people in the world who lives with less than $50 cb and who cares ? and theres others who receives a gift of 700.000.000.000 as help !

thats a f* means of support or what ?

 

[CharlesBronson]

The prices of food in Brazil are higher than here so that is why I said so.
And yes I am sure that in Brazil nobody could live with only 100 dollars.

theres people in the world who lives with less than $50 cb and who cares ? and theres others who receives a gift of 700.000.000.000 as help !

Unfair but that is the world.
