Get a hold of your self MQ! Just because Gib is a Kiwi you should not defend him. Else guilty by association. Box never called people names such as "rabies infested ignorant barbarians". Please show the evidence that Gib "is an avid supporter of Brazilians, directly, personally, in cash!" mainly the cash thing I am interested in because I have not yet receive it...

You would not get that in New Zealand. "When we raised capital in Brazil we did so on a handshake and the money was in the bank within 10 days. It took us a year to put the paperwork in place. It was phenomenal. It was a really positive experience. You would not get that in New Zealand." O'Shea describes Brazil as an "extraordinary country" which blends the professionalism of Europe and the energy of Latin America. "The people are extraordinary. They've got an edge. They're not boring conservatives like us. There's an energy about Brazilians, whether in business or socially. They've carved out their own rather large niche: 'this is how we party', 'this is how we sleep'. I've really enjoyed the whole journey of learning about Brazil." One of O'Shea's biggest fears was encountering corruption, but it hasn't happened yet. And while he admits the bureaucracy the firm had to deal with in the initial stages was so frustrating that at one stage it nearly gave up, he concedes that the result has been worthwhile. "All the financial projections we set up have been surprisingly accurate. What I've found is the trust in business in Brazil between people in many ways is stronger than in many developed markets, and I've worked in Switzerland, Ireland, Finland, England, and a bunch of European countries. nzherald.co.nz I told you for your son to come to Brazil, you are a bad parent not to have send him here!!
