What was obvious to me in the streets of Rio De Janeiro…

I was born in the Dutch city of Breda. Therefore, it was a complete surprise for me to observe the name ‘Breda’ in the tropical metropolis of Rio de Janeiro. While we were on the way, by bus, to our pousada in the district of Copacabana, I immediately noticed this bus, with the name ‘Breda Rio’.
A new connection from The Netherlands in the second city of Brazil? Unlikely. According to the web site of the bus company, ‘Breda’ is already more than 50 years old. But it is still obvious…
