Here, the addresses are a bit weird (at least when you are not used to their system): just as an example, the hostel is located on SCLRN 708 Bloco I Loja 20.
It is supposed to make things a lot easier when you understand how it works. Not that obvious, knowing that the taxi driver gets lost twice and has to ask his way each time ;-)
It is the federal capital of Brazil, planned and developed by Lúcio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer in 1956 in order to move the capital from Rio de Janeiro to a more central location.
The city's design divides it into numbered blocks as well as sectors for specified activities, such as the Hotel Sector, the Banking Sector and the Embassy Sector.
Thousands of km away from Australia, here is another Red center, and for Bastille Day I get blue, white & red shoes.
On the Square of the Three Powers:
- the Executive, represented by the Palácio do Planalto (official workplace of the President of Brazil)
- the Legislative, represented by the National Congress

The stay in Brasilia is also the incredible luck to meet Somen Debnath, who left India 12 years ago, and has been riding his bike all around the world for 12 years for HIV / AIDS awareness. Thank you Somen for the love you spread all around you. With the bad news received from France tonight, I really needed that hug. May God protect you for the end of your trip, and bring you back to Kolkata, so that you fulfill your dreams.
