Gremio or Inter fan?

My first post for this blog couldn't be anything else other than Gremio and Inter fans at TW Brasil.

If it wasn't enough having the majority of TWers in Porto Alegre supporting Inter (Suzi, Camila, open eyes :)), most of Gringos are becoming Inter fans too. I've heard that it is like "Mary following the others"? or perhaps because Inter was in "good" phase when they come down here (playing Libertadores - league that Gremio has 2 throphies already)? also Inter fans took them to VIP box in the stadium and they got facinated?

Anyway, I trust and love Gremio, no matter the number of Inter fans that we *have* to live everyday with, what matters is the quality of gremistas that we have in the office and the ones that are coming on board. Go Go Gremio!!! :-P

Gringos' brazilian names

Gringos name's sometimes are just so hard to pronounce. Then to make them more easy to say and also to make them even more Brazilian we give them some brazilian cool names.
Here is the list that I can rememeber:
Hippie = Jorge
Amit = Amiltom
Jimmy = Jaime
Tarek = Túlio
Pat = Patricio
Mike = Michel
Joanne = Joana

Some of them are still anxious for their brazilian names :-)
btw, we do have to call them with their "new temp names" wherever we are.

Real "gaúcho" barbecue
