“My best leisure experience was when my colleague and I worked as visiting professors at Shanghai Normal University for a period of three week last November and December. The first day we arrived we got overwhelmed by the city and its possibilities. In the lobby of our hotel we met four Canadian lecturers, who were also part of an exchange program. Really nice guys, we went into town with the six of us. When we got out of the metro our first encounter with the city was a parade of Chinese ladies in beautiful traditional dresses. They paraded in the People’s Park, at the same time there was a kind of a fair going on where Chinese parents tried to connect their adult Children to potential marriage partners. It was kind of a surreal experience. When the Chinese ladies saw our group we became the attraction and the subject of a long, hilarious and pleasant photoshoot. Welcome to Shanghai!! We couldn’t have wished for a better start of our adventure. By the way, I’m the guy with the red jacket and white Nikes, front row at the right”.
Second winner: Regiane Galante

“It was a very special leisure moment in my life this year. It was my first time in Rock n’Rio Festival. I love music concerts, specially Rock n’Roll, and Red Hot Chilli Peppers it’s one of my favourite rock’ bands. They came to Brazil, and I was there! It was amazing!”
