As a regular visitor and „almost“ citizen of Rio de Janeiro, I was very interested about the trail of the new „Transcarioca“ bus line, connecting the Olympic City in Barra da Tijuca with the „Galeao“ – Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport. To tell the truth, I had no idea about the correct trail. The video behind the link gives a very good insight into the road line with of length of approx. 39 km and also the dimension of the city, crossing parts a regular tourist does not take into account.

Of course one could ask why not use a train or metro to connect this urban regions, givin‘ the city a new innovative perspective. In fact a metro connection to the airport would be very useful. Maybe one day the public transport lobby can be convinced towards new solutions… using the present bus basement to install some kind of „trem-sinho“, which is already part of the plans of the New Harbour District in Rio. Some talk about a rebirth of the old harbour area – maybe justified.

After the Brazilian elections one argued about side effects on Brazilian economy – at least to some sectors. That it not necessarily must be negative outlines a report recently published („Re-election guarantees support to carmakers“).

The main topic of this article is an initiative of the Brazilian government called INOVAR-AUTO, which supports companies producing and selling automotive technology in Brazil. The main benefit is an tax reduction up to 30% of IPI (tax on industrial prodcuts).

After the second round of voting on Sunday Oct 26th, Dilma Rousseff (PT) has won her second legislative period. Having a look at the results in different regions, we find a clear support in the Northern and Northeastern parts of Brazil. This isn’t a surprise, rather an result of her politics, supporting the poor. Nevertheless it was a really close run (Dilma 51,6%, Aécio 48,4%) and one get’s the impression, that she beginning to understand the voter’s message – maybe under support by Lula.

From the three major candidates Dilma Roussef, Aecio Neves and Marina Silva, only Dilma and Aecio are still in the election process. Surprisingly Marina has announced the support for Aecio Neves – in spite of their political proximity to PT. Still unclear what the Brazilians can anticipate, some the international press has already chosen their position. Please read the following article of the ECONOMIST.

„And who is saying this is not a Brazilian“.  EMBRATUR, the Brazilian Tourism Institut, has launched an ad campaign to present the host cities of the Soccer World Cup this year. Created by Neogama BBH and produced by Primitivo Filmes, a series of videos will be shown in all countries which are considered strategically important for potential visitors coming to Brazil. The agency’s creative brains had a brilliant idea: why not have people from these countries presenting Brazil to their fellows?

So they invited people from Argentina, Germany, Columbia, Chile, United States, France, England, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Portugal and Uruguay to put their voices on the videos, speaking Portuguese and introducing the beauties of the host cities. Only in the last few seconds, they show themselves to the camera and say the sentence that opens this article in their own language.

Take a look at the german film on Salvador down here. You can also watch some of the films on the website of Neogama/BBH, or at this article published by São Paulo’s Marketing Magazine meio & mensagem.

In 2016 we will have the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Everybody is complaining about the Brazilian delay and missing or pants project management. But what about the actual games? What Brazil could learn from Russia?

(1) Scandals are common – an actual report about hotels around Sotchi describes the first olympic scandal . As we can see on some remarkable pictures, „we have a situation here“ in Sotchi. Besides „yellow“ water, there are other very interesting insights. Just have a look at the „banheiros„. We could argue, its just some kind of discipline and simply part of the games, as we can see here.

(2) Brazilians are somehow cosmopolitans – able to adapt to somehow weired environments and

(3) nobody is perfect – who cares about missing infrastructure and dysfunctional equipment – just have fun!
