TIA, call your office, Felix Leiter on line 1.
Let's say you are a young Naval Officer who is smart and went to the right schools.
You've been riding around on ships for 2+ years doing what Churchill called "naval traditioin" IE, Rum Sodomy and the Lash.
Your government makes you part of the mission in Brazil for a few years after sending you to learn the language. They will put you up in a state department apartment in Leblon, you know, top floor, elevator only to your floor, etc. And you will roll out of bed with the waitress -- "how was I to know, she was with the Russians too" -- from Boteca Belmonte.
Now you are a hipster too.
This is Leblon.
It has luxury buses to the main consular hood, ie, centro vicinity cinelandia, or botafogo (the portugal embassy, hint, hint) and it has consulates of some countries.
Bring your best Bond lines, shaken not stirred.

This is the corporate, diplomatic bubble.
It is pretty much Beverly hills, CA, and Georgetown, DC, or as close as it gets in South America.[/QUOTE]
