Lpc2000

Brazil is a place that is really hard to understand. Only living here for all 
your life to be little less confused (like, for example, in carnival it is 
normal to see naked people, but if a woman goes to a beach using topless, she 
gets to jail, and many tourists cant understand that. One musician from the 
Queens of Stone Age entered the stage completelly naked and had to sleep onde 
day in jail). 
Today, if you had unluck, samples are taxed. The taxes covers even the ship 
costs! Many companies stop to ship samples to Brazil because of that. The 
taxes become much more expensive that the material itself. 
It is hards to live here...
