A 24 Hour Diary:
Feb 20, 2008, 11:35 am, Porto Alegre Airport, Brazil
I’m shopping at the duty free store in the Porto Alegre airport as I wait for my twice-delayed flight to Montevideo. Luckily I now have enough time to pick out the most useful things one could have during a hot and sweaty South American summer... a pair of Brazilian Havaenna flip-flops...35 spf face cream... and some over-priced designer deodorant ( no sense in layering on perfume over my sun-block and insect-repellent).
“It’s difficult to export wine because we drink a lot” is the response I got when asking why Swiss wine does not exist on the international market.
Switzerland, a tiny independent country in the heart of Europe with a population of 7.5 million, is divided further by languages; French, Italian, German, and Romanche.
