    Hello, Pete. You forget that there is a diference in time between Brazil and USA, precisely 5 hours, because of the spherical form of Earth. While it is Sunday here it is Monday there, but it doesn’t matter. The important is that I have access to ESL podcast very soon, while you are sleeping. Good for you.

  5. Aecio Flavio Perim says:

    So, Pete, do you have anything to add? Or are you satisfied? Did you hear about the environmental accident in Brazil? A dam cracked and poured thousands of gallons of mud down the mountain. Natural life affected, people dead. Poor Brazil.

  6. peter says:

    Hey Aecio,
    I totally forgot about the time difference
    U r right
    The thing is , I m on a tight schedule at work so I didn’t get chance to listed to the latest episode.
    I will ,the minute I had a window open.

    It is a terrible news
    Sorry to hear it.

    Yours

  7. peter says:

    Hey Aecio,

    I didn’t get what you mean by it.
    Am I supposed to add sth ?
    Add to what ?

    You lost me there

    Thanks
    Pete

  8. peter says:

    Breastfeeding has become a norm around here.you see women breastfeed their children in public.
    It is not considered a social taboo around here
    If anything , It is the most natural thing.
    It is an accepted ,culturally attuned behaviour.
    Well, it is not like they are on display or anything.
    I mean
    It is not like the whole package is whipped out or anything.
    It is done in a way that is not even noticeable.
    Around here, when it comes to taking care of a child,People are the most accommodative and considerate.

    🙂
    Pete
