Again watching these videos not only just make us laugh but they also make us feel sorry for these guys. However, working at an international airport and being a pro soccer player/coach demand that they speak English fluently, not just something which means nothing at all. There are hundreds of English schools around. Be careful: your English might sound something like that. Think it over when choosing a language school. Think MEMPHIS.

World League - Volleyball


Last June 13th, we had a pretty cool experience: we attended Brazil vs Poland, which was the first game within the World League, at the Ibirapuera Sports Center. I guess it was much more fun than any other soccer games we've been to. Next time, we'll sure be inviting a couple of our buddies to come along. We'd like to thank Rosana Cabral (Touchstone 4) for granting us the tickets for free.

Check out a few seconds of a video we recorded there:
