Safety first at the Brazil street carnival

Brasilia - The Brazilian government said on Monday that it will hand out 25-million free condoms to carnival-goers this year, as part of its Aids prevention effort in this country of 180-million people.

The prophylactics will be distributed by non-governmental organisations at health stands and, above all, during the numerous parades and street dances held around the country, the health ministry said.

Eleven million condoms were given out last year during the carnival, which this year falls on February 25-28.

It is the government's goal this year to give out a record 1,5-billion free condoms in the country, more than doubling last year's record of 667-million.

Wazaaa! How are you, people? Pura Vida, I hope. I am Esteban, and I’m a programmer of 28 years, who is taking advantage of writing in this blog about how tuanis (nice) I spent my last weekend in the Hotel Fiesta Resort, in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. I went with some compas (friends) of ride, brete (work) and adventure. I work so hard! I took my time to go out with them, because for the last 6 months my work was pressing me. In short, I needed some relax. For that reason, I recommended them to analyze the possibility of going away of party to the Fiesta Resort.

The hotel is veeeery niiiice, and it is near San José, That’s a reason why the trip was not complicated, and we got quickly to the hut. We got amused because we did something different is funny, one game of soccer… a many sport activities like a surf, beach volleyball and ping pong, after them in the nights I went to the casino for more adrenaline.. Before, we were used to take vacations more often, but when one begins to work, it complicates the plans to enjoy life. It was worthy to leave the stress of my office, because I work too much, and it’s tiring to take life that way! I really needed to take some time for me; I needed to be with the friends, like before… If you want more info, you can check the page in Internet, and review the galleries, www.fiestaresort.com . We went in the low season, and the hotel was not so full, but it maintains the level all the year around. Seriously, it is worthy to go there.

Pura Vida friends!
