Meanwhile, the World Cup infrastructure still isn't ready. And don't mention the Olympics....

The only good thing about the world cup is that the roads will be empty everytime Brasil plays. So 90 minutes of piece then the roads will be full of drunks.

It amazes me that in the 1850's it took 9 months to make and build the Crystal Palace, now they can't build a football stadium in 8 years. And the most important part is flat and grows by it's self.

I don't think FIFA or the IOC has ever come up against anything quite as, er, laid-back as the Brazilian approach to projects....

Trouble here Ivan you have the guy doing his job on the site, earning a little more than minimum wage $350 USD a month. Then you have the bosses on thier $4000 + USD a month is not enough and take bribes from the suppliers so they can supply, skim the workers wages so they have a job, etc etc. I know I would not put much effort into my work. Then for the workers to cap it all the area get better and you cant afford to live there so you end up have a 2 hour plus bus journey each way after a 12 hour shift. Where we live you would not be able to pay the estate charges on a minimum wage let alone the rent, and it is not even a posh estate. It gets worse as you go into the government. They want to pay themselves 15 monthly wages a year. The presedent wants to hide her overseas expenses . As she says it is nothing to do with the people, it is government business.

Yipee, a Mogul on the way :-)

 

Imagina na Copa! 

Yep Mikkel.

The flux is wending its way to me. The new cupboard is on its way too. The work bench is getting cleared ready for lots to go into the cupboard. Soon be full steam ahead!!!
