A hot Brazilian chick in a red Toyota Vitz pulled up alongside me last
week and asked me... summmmthin. At least I think it was Brazilianese. I
mean it could have been Peruvianese or Columbianese etc but as you know
everyone in Okazaki knows that everyone from South/Central America
speaks Brazilianese and eats ushiniku. Eventually I worked out that she
wanted directions to the station - but being slow and simple I just
couldn't work out how to mime "Honey just open the door and I'll
personally direct you".
And why does "where is the station?" sound so sexy in Brazilianese?
