This is a follow-up to the "Curitiba reputation" discussion (which see).

Notas da Curitiba: (1) It was foggy when I arrived at the rodoviária (ferrorodoviária!). I asked a young man for directions to my hotel -- which was across the street but not visible -- and when I went the wrong way, he followed me. It was disconcerting ... but simply, he wouldn't let me get lost! Um abraço to him. (2) I asked the administrator of a small museum where the museum of contemporary art is, and ... she was going out. She drove me across town to o Museu Oscar Niemeyer. Um outro abraço. (3) Bill H: I took the Serra Verde Express to Morretes and watched a World Cup match at a bar on the square there. The return bus was full ... but a seat became available. The stationmaster found me across the street and told me about it. Três!

Sorry I flubbed the reputation question. Hope we meet again, previous respondents.

  1. An adjective that means from Curitiba or Paraná is "curitibano" or "paranaense."


  2. Hi There!... Luigi again... Sorry for the "Darling" at last question, ok?

    Who borns in Curitiba is called "Curitibano" (for men) and "Curitibana" for women. On the other hand, stuffs/things made in Curitiba are called as in any place: "Made in...".

    By the way, the correct name of "Rodoviária" is "Rodoferroviaria", because that place is a Central-Station for both buses and trains; which means RODO from BUS and FERRO (iron) from TRAIN, ok?

    You probably forgot of telling us about "Barreado" (Parana's tipical food) which you probably have tasted in Morretes, right?... delicious hum? (if not, it was a pitty!).

    Have a nice week-end. Bye bye!
