We’ve all collected a few bizarre souvenirs while travelling, this has got to be pretty high on the “what were you thinking” list! Our Brazil Gap Team are partway through their project phase at the moment however everyone in Brazil takes a few days off for Carnival (this weekend). The Mangueira district in Rio where our team is working has one of the most prestigious samba schools in Rio, and our team is part of their group competing in the parade – all wearing the above costume!

We’re all a little envious back here in the office to be honest, how on earth are they going to get them home though!!!
