We are expanding into a nearby squatters slum. They agree to let us use a mud hole (one of their finest) for free if it is to help the community. Yesterday we finished converting their fine mud hole into a fine school house.
Today they agree to let us use their fine new school house for only 200 reis per month if it is to help the community.
No way. Negotiations ensue.
Brazilian negotiations seem to include a good deal of coffee, some soccer debates, maybe a siesta, and a soccer game. Resolutions? Nope.
Everyone goes home happy. Wait... What? Everyone happy? What about the school?
Oh Cory. You and your silly Americanisms. You worry too much. Lets get some chocolate.
