Things I like # 4 Rio´s street cleaners



I don´t think you can get much more of an iconic uniform than these guys who work all hours keeping the streets of Rio clean and tidy.

On my travels I was lucky enough to go to the Carnival to watch the parade at the Sambadrome and it was one of the best experiences of my life. However I was surprised to find that the street cleaners do actually open it like they do in the Orange ad. Rumour has it Renato was leading them out, but I´m not 100% sure.

There is no getting away from the Tiger



Even in the Rio Dulce,Guatemala, where the only mode of transport is Lancha, the big brands have already cornered the market. At $3 a gallon I don´t think they make quite as much as at home and it isn´t really in keeping with the jungle surroundings and amazing wildlife, but it gets people from A to B I guess.

I didn´t spot a Tiger T-shirt on the Captain either so perhaps they are yet to benefit from the Tiger tokens.
