The Rhythm of the WhiteCarnival, Rio de Janiero, 2000
Being somewhat drunk on cheap beer & caipirinhas, I attempted to samba in the street. I didn't care that I gathered a crowd of laughing locals, giggling at the pathetic attempts at their national dance by a crazy (and ludicrously pale) foreigner. They even applauded when I finished, though I doubt it was in appreciation of my rhythmic skills.
I was less sanguine to be told by my relatives that it was broadcast on national television later that day. I probably still turn up on "Brazil's Funniest Videos" programs...
