It was a long and quiet Friday afterno on in the office after Brazil lost to Holland on Friday, but things quickly became a little more lively when Uruguay and Ghana faced each other off in penalties and everyone crowded around my boss’ desk to cheer for one team or the other.<\/p>\n
In Brazil, we’re passionate about our soccer, but we also get that life goes on. \u00a0The same afternoon, people were twitting and posting all sorts of things making fun of the team or certain players (Look up Kak\u00e1 Bad Boy Facts), and seeing this all makes one realize that, “Tudo termina em samba.” <\/em>And to honor this saying, Saturday, some of my friends and I headed to Tra\u00e7o de Uni\u00e3o<\/a>, one of the most famous samba clubs in S\u00e3o Paulo and the energy was amazing. \u00a0There were a bunch of German tourists there, celebrating their win themselves, and doing their own little samba!<\/p>\n Almir Guineto, one of the members of Fundo de Quintal<\/em>, a traditional samba group, sang, along with Dayse do Banjo, who was amazing as well. \u00a0I found this mini-interview with Almir.<\/p>\n
