They are pictures of events that you haven't seen yet and that are part of this year, that without any doubts, deserves to be remembered. |
| AMBASSADOR OF UKRAINE'S FAREWELL |
|

| CROATIA'S EXHIBITION |
|
| The embassy of Croatia made a nice exhibition about its country this year and presented the people of Brasilia with beautiful landscape images and typical clothing, revealing places of enormous beauty that Croatia offers.

| VENEZUELA'S DANCE PRESENTATION |
|
| Another important cultural event was the Venezuela's dance presentation, organized by the ambassy at Teatro Nacional and presented us with the opportunity to see a presentation with the quality comparable to the best dance companies of the world. For us of THE GUIDE, the spectacle presented represents the proximity with the best of nowadays cultural manifestations and the pictures of this event you can see by clicking here. |
| AMBASSADRESSES' PARTY |
|
| We left for the end this event's material that was, in our opinion, the most exciting event of 2006. The Ambassadresses' Group Party (Festa do Grupo das Embaixatrizes) took place at Clube Naval and was a strong demonstration of the Diplomatic Corps union. The buffet of typical food of each participation country, the prize raffles and the contagious dancing liveliness of that event is an example of organization, togetherness and excitement that can made by a determined group. THE GUIDE congratulates the Ambassadresses' Group for the party that, for us, represents a nice work from the members of the Diplomatic Corps and its family members for the important social causes in Brazil. |
