Deeply sorry that I missed your birthday, Valerie - I've been so busy with work over the last few months I've done very little contribution, I didn't finish captioning your video, which I'm seriously embarassed about... <br><br>I hope you had a wonderful birthday, and I wish you many more :)<br><span id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="da"><span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">Jeg</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">håber du har nydt</span> <span title="Click for alternate translations" class="hps">dig selv!<br><br>Regards, Thor<br></span></span><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 10:09:19 -0800<br>From: sutton@SIGNWRITING.ORG<br>Subject: PowerPoint Presentation about Sao Paulo - thank you for the gift ;-)<br>To: SW-L@LISTSERV.VALENCIACC.EDU<br><br>

If you did not know what city you were looking at, you could guess that it was perhaps Paris? or Chicago? or Rome? or New York City? Some of the buildings look like other well-known buildings around the world - and the skyline is amazing - a truly huge city with lots and lots of skyscrapers and the music that goes along with the pictures, for those who can hear it, sounds a little like another song, called "New York, New York" but after a minute the music changes and becomes its own unique song singing about Sao Paulo in Brazil in Portuguese of course - a truly great slide presentation - THANK YOU, Fernando - and you have very good reason to be VERY proud of your impressive and beautiful city...and Brazil is wonderful - I am a big fan of everything Brazilian, and have many CDs of Brazilian music which I enjoy while I work out of my home office ;-))</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for the birthday gift and the kind words - Val ;-)</div><div><br></div><div></div><br>

<div>I have never sent files to the present list that do not pertain strictly to SignWriting.<br>Yet, this is Valerie's birthday. </div>
<div>So, I decided to send a brief Powerpoint Presentation I have just received that shows my city, S�o Paulo, in Brazil, just for the sake of getting to know each other better.</div>
<div>Many people ask me what Sao Paulo, with its 11 million inhabitants, looks like (with its great and not that great sides...). So, for those of you who may be curious, and have some 1-2 min to spare, go ahead and have a look. For the remaining ones, please, just ignore or delete (- ha!). No harm meant... ;-)</div>
<div>Thank you.</div>
