Pizza. Really good pizza.
So our social lives came to an abrupt end by the introduction of a thing called a “deadline”, so last night we got take away pizzas form this place Ty took me 2 or 3 nights ago. Sorry, all days are a blur at this stage. Anyway, these pizzas might not be healthy, but they are [...]

While writing this blog entry, I decided to have a glass of wine. Ty suggested I try this bottle, and I have to say: Cheers Ty! Awesome suggestion. Here’s the wine: http://www.casillerodeldiablo.com/en/ficha_productos_cabernet.php So at the MIH office in Brazil they have a massive hi-def TV, and a Nintendo wii. Fantastic! there’s also a spectacular espresso machine, [...]

We have been absolutely focused on getting our work done. Ty and I have been sleeping less and less, and working more and more. I am not complaining though, we have been doing a lot of work, and everyone has been 100% focused on getting stuff done. Anyway, done with the boring stuff, let’s talk about [...]

Going through the photos before I go to bed, I thought it apt to make a few comments: Traffic in Sao Paulo is so bad, that all big companies offer helicopter transport for their top directors. Look at http://picasaweb.google.com/rohan.strydom/TaxiTripFirstDayToWork/photo?authkey=3tbuLdAcybg#5176172145888714786; you can see the heli pad on the top of the Brazilian Football fereration building. You [...]

So yesterday was my first day at work, and I obviously had no idea where to go to. Fortunately, Filipo and Ty wrote down the address for me, so I was quite confident that I would get to work, despite a deep routed fear that I will get ripped off. Jacques and Leon suggested that [...]

So, after breakfast, I decided to go for a walk around the neighbourhood. I had about an hour to kill before Felippo would arrive for lunch. Felippo told me that the neighbourhood where the hotel is, is actually one of the best neighbourhoods in Sao Paulo. There are many, many high rise buildings around, and they [...]

So, back to the breakfast story. I was amazed at the waiters in the restaurant, no one would speak to me, offer me anything, or even acknowledge that I am there. I eventually got up and helped myself to some of the beautiful food and fantastic coffee. The self-served breakfast was really good, although a bit [...]

What a experience it’s been so far, and it only just started. MIH asked me if I want to come to Brazil to help with the final big push of our still secret product, and off course I agreed to come. Less than 2 days later I landed in Brazil, after flying business class for the [...]

Nog later as eienaar, en deesdae die kos man by Poplars Restaurant by D’Aria buite Durbanville.
Philip het die gewoonte om homself in te werk by shows. Glo dit of nie, maar dit gaan nie altyd saam met wyn nie. Hier is hy, saam met sy vriende Klopjag op die verhoog by Dorpstraat. Hy doen ‘n meaaaaaaan Eddie Vedder.
