Muito Bem, E Voce??It looks pretty certain I will be going to Brazil next week. I have every thing set to go, except no Visa in hand. The company that arranges our Visas says the process is complete and it just needs to be mailed from Chicago - I'm not saying I'm for sure going until the visa - (along with my passport!) is in my fat little hands.
I don't know what I am getting into - The Country manager has quite a reputation - (IE. he's a bit of a jerk!) and he does not want to help our department out at all!
My task is to build an Amway Store in Sao Paulo and Rio. The stores are a new concept for South America. Right now our sales in S.A. are awful (esp. Brazil), so we are trying some new ideas to increase sales. With out the support of the country Manager, I may not have an interpreter, so life may be rough...I may have to dig one up! Or keep my google translator handy!
I am looking forward to traveling there. I'll be eating big hunks of beef straight from the skewer and Cafe com Laite! I will be in Sao Paulo for 3 days and and Rio for 2. It's a quick trip, I need to get back for Shawn's Nephew's ( Aaron ) wedding.
So look for some pictures on the blog - and on Facebook, I'll try to keep you informed of my travels and travails...
Tchau cats!

Just remember, you are the happy traveler. And I'm sure there isn't a Country Manager who wouldn't enjoy your company. You can do it James. And build those two plants in 5 days. . or a few more. Safe travel! I hear it's a beautiful place. I'll look forward to the blogs!
Cool, cool! Can't wait to see pictures. And just 5 days? No time zone change? Piece of cake!
This is so neat! Yes, you are the international happy traveler and I'm sure you will overcome any barriers. Portuguese?? Don't look to me for any help. I can't wait to hear all about it.
