As to "limited recreation", perhaps the author of that article did not like a more sedate evening after the relatively hard day's work :-) Shouts of "Diar-Noich" (Diario da Noite was the evening paper), "Sort Sort - falean abertur", and sometimes "Yea sonsarant sogleank kui!"... mingled with the crows' chorus among the trees when the band wasn't in attendance ...

I remember Guna the barber and his newspapers. The senior librarian carefully sidesteps the forced removal of the bust of Vasco da Gama by the current colonial ruler of our land besides, he lacks the guts to tell the reader who built the square and has the audacity to tell us 'it happened after liberation'. __________________________________________________________________________________ Get more done like never before with Yahoo!7 Mail.
