Gestern wurde mein Schwager in Brasilien gegen COVID geimpft. Zusammen mit seiner Frau. Nein, nicht im reichen Süden. Zugegeben, hätte sein können. Es war in einem eher weniger bedeutenden Bundesstaat im NE. Nein, er ist nicht älter. Die Impfung war auch nicht Ergebnis einer Mitternachts-Anmeldesession in einem Impfportal … da hätte ich ihm Tips geben können. Meine Mutter ist fast 90…sie wissen schon. Nein, er wurde informiert … vom Staat. Er soll zu einem Termin kommen… Uhrzeit? Egal. Man soll eben warten. Die Info zum 2.Termin hat er auch schon. Prima gelaufen, alles eher hemdsärmelig. Nun ja – Sie ahnen es – Brasilien hat darin Erfahrung. Hat auch keinen Messebau, den es zu subventionieren gilt (Bild).

Gute Güte, nichts gegen Subventionen in dieser Zeit. Trotzdem, deutlicher Unterschied zu uns. Brasilien ist ja auch ein Land das zu kritisieren ist für seine mangelhafte Organisation. Die improvisieren lieber. Das klappt bei uns schon besser. Im Entscheidungen treffen nicht so, aber wir sind immerhin Weltmeister – im Verwalten. Und ja, auch von Krisen. Sich in der Krise nur erst mal zurechtfinden, dann klappt das schon … mit dem Verwalten. Das klappt in Brasilien oft nicht so gut , sagt man, dafür das Improvisieren im Impfen wenn es drauf ankommt.

The North-Eastern part of Brazil is by far the fastest growing business area in the country. Cities like Recife, Joao Pessoa and Fortaleza are facing an so called industrial spring in industries of energy, construction & building, textile and tourism.

Besides touristic flavour and the vision of the two megaevents „Copa del Mundo 2014“ and „Olympic Games 2016“, Rio de Janeiro is the industrial base to some of the largest companies in Brazil, like Vale and Petrobras – a very good idea to participate this excellent event and gain actual market information.

Applications can be done til 14.12.2012 – so hurry up!

Yesterday TV had a quite surprisingly report about the longest bus trip in Europe. From Germany about Austria the busses hit finally the Turkish border – almost 2.650 km. The report in Abenteuer Leben/KabelEins  titled „bustrip for hard-boiled travellers“ , selling the trip as something completely extraordinary.

1986 as a student and on my fourth trip to Brazil I took the bus from Rio de Janeiro to Recife. Almost 40 hours on the road I spent about 3 days along 2350 km. Nowadays, this long distance busses are still working and used to be a very common and first and foremost working (!) public transport throughout Brazil. Did you ever try to get ahead and pass one of them? Using a speed of about more than 100 km/hour under „Brazilian conditions“, this giants of the road are almost invincible.

Taking the example in Abenteuer Leben – of course in Brazil noone would think about something extraordinary. Look at the following schedule – an even three times longer trip. Starting at Porto Alegre in the South towards Sao Paulo (1150 km), Sao Paulo – Rio de Janeiro (430 km), Rio de Janeiro – Recife (2400 km), Recife – Fortaleza (844 km), Fortaleza – Sao Luis (1070 km), and finally towards Belem in the North (810 km), the whole trip takes 6704 km and about 5 days. And I am afraid there are even longer ones.
