Thousands wait for hours yesterday outside the #vilabelmiro stadium, home of #SantosFC in #santos #Brazil to pay last respects to #Pele. #PeleEterno played most of his career in santos. #ReiPele

Congratulations to Prefeitura do Rio for making a nice #cyclelane in #gloria district #RiodeJaneiro, #Brazil but at same time criticisms for ending it abruptly. Ah, it also begins with no warning. Basically it connects Nothing to Nothing. Please advise on future plans for this.

Een makkelijke start had de Braziliaanse president Lula da Silva niet toen hij ruim 8 maanden geleden aantrad. Maar het gaat Lula beter af dan verwacht. De economie trekt aan en internationaal zet Lula het land na jaren van isolement weer op de kaart. #Nieuwsuur
