Here's a pic of me in Rio de Janeiro at an Iron Maiden concert with my little brother Ewerton.



I don't know if any of you have ever worn a kilt in Rio,or anywhere in Brasil but the reactions of Americans seem very pale to the reactions of Brasilians!!!
I actually had strangers walk up to me wanting to get a picture taken with me in my kilt almost as if I was some kind of famous person...it was incredibly odd! Fortunately *most* everyone's reactions were positive as well as very curious and confused :-)

Strangely enough the only near negative reaction I encountered was at an Irish pub of all places!! called "The Irish Rover"
While standing near the entrance I was chatting with a guy from Boston, he looks down at the kilt, has a weird expression on his face, scoffs and asks me "Dude! what's with the kilt!?!?" implying that I'm some kind of major idiot weirdo for wearing a kilt in an Irish Pub. I responded to him by giving a short explanation about the comfort of a kilt, the fact that I like wearing a kilt and that "We're in a friggin' IRISH PUB!!" Of all the places in Rio where I wore my kilt THAT's the place I get any kind of negativity! go figure
