Richard,
I apologize for the delay in replying. I was out for a week to a conference.
My name is in Portuguese and I’m from Brasil. We don’t have the "mariachis" here, although I love them, as I love Mexico and Mexicans. Some days ago I was ‘specifically’ missing Mexico and Mexicans. All the vitality, strength, mistery of the ancient cultures present in nowdays, happiness, colors... Beauty. I was there some months ago.
Here, as in Mexico, we also "must deal with fundamental conditions". Having, as everywhere, beauty and enthusiasm as a reference. What I myself regret is not being able to play the piano. Anyway, I’m happy to dare to "play" sometimes the keypad, and reach BOL GT Forum, and, for instance, exchange ideas with you. This also teaches me about the peculiar and interesting nature of "the wall".
