Tim, Vivo and I, part 2

One of the reasons I was in Conjunco National was the (imperative) need of a wifi key, to enable browsing from our temporary apartment until we settled. For this, with the same methods previously used, my options were already analyzed - essentially Vivo vs Tim. Unlike last time, we headed to TIM (which name, I am learning now, stands for Telecom Italia Mobile). The kids, specially Emmanuel, have fixated on the company name for two reasons: firstly because of its adds, displayed and plastered everywhere, displaying blue men "communicating"; secondly because we say, with the portuguese accent, chim, rather than tim, and that's fun.

Ipods were pulled out (refer to previous post). While we were waiting, a very elegant man, in his sixties, approached me and addressed me in French, and proceeded to hold a very pleasant conversation. A few minutes later, the manager of the store took his time to help me, as with my lack of knowledge of the Portuguese language I need "special service". He provided me with a trial chip to install in my Chinese wifi key, after having set it up for me. I walked out of the store with the chip - unsure whether it was really free, or just going to work temporarily (the later which I eventually came to confirm). It only occurred to me later that in two occasions in the same store two men flirted with me - despite me mentioning my husband's name or them seeing my kids. I guess after 4 years in China, I forgot what flirting was!
Welcome to Latin America, me!
