We were together on twitter, wrote enthusiastic blog posts about our Olympic experience, and discussed media and technology in conferences and pub gatherings around Vancouver. But, what’s next?
Today, the Canadian men’s hockey [...]

Celebrating Valentine’s Day in February is a little bit strange for me. In Brazil, Valentine’s Day (Dia dos Namorados) is celebrated every year on June 12th. We do exactly the same things that Canadians do: we wake up our significant other with a [...]

Vancouver is the best place to be for the next two weeks. The energy, the events, the people, everything is so powerful in this city that for the first time I am feeling overwhelmed.

Bem, eu costumava ser uma blogueira séria que vinha aqui quase todo o dia para falar da minha vida e da vida dos outros online. Agora dá até vergonha voltar aqui depois de uma promessa firmada e sacramentada num post perdido em julho. Como vocês sabem, a vida fica busy e de vez enquando complicada. Não [...]

Hahahahahaha!!! Sei que o título está meio agressivo, mas vamos deixar assim porque é isso mesmo que o povo acha, né?
Tenho recebido vários e-mails de amigos completamente desconectados entre si me perguntando sobre imigração no Canadá. Todo mundo acha que só porque eu casei, tudo ficou mais fácil. E assim, tem gente pensando em seguir [...]
