Flat Jackson had the opportunity to go to Brazil. He flew to Sao Paulo just after Thanksgiving.






Here he is checking his bags in and getting his boarding pass for the flight.











He arrived in Sao Paulo 18 hours later. Tired but ready to go.















Here is Flat Jackson at work in Mogi Guacu, Brazil.














While he was in Brazil, he noticed that the water went down the drain differently than when he was at home. It circled the drain in a clokcwise manner. He asked his friends why this happened and learned that south of the equator water circles in a clockwise fashion. North of the equator it goes counter-clockwise. Here is a better explanation of why this happens. It is called the coriolis effect.
