It may be a country more commonly associated with Samba and carnival, but Brazil was beating to an Omani rhythm recently with a series of cultural days going down a storming success in two of the South American country’s largest cities.

The notice calls for the immediate and strict implementation of Article 123 of EC Regulation 1186/2009. This article states:

Spoilt Child - Expat Children and how not to spoil them.
“You have to be joking,” was my kids’ collective response when we moved back to the U.S. and I broached the subject of chores. 
 
During three years in Africa, their clothes always magically reappeared in their closets, ironed and folded military-style, all toothpaste gunk almost instantly vanished from their sinks, and putting their dirty plates in the general vicinity of the kitchen was the only effort asked of them after meals.
