I'm from Fortaleza. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortaleza

Ah, yes. You see, we inherited tchau from Italy, when the immigrants came here, I think during WWII. There, it's ciao, with the I in front of the A. My name comes from the Latin Gaius (like Gaius Julius Caesar). So it's [ˈɡaiʊs] for Caesar and ['kaiʊ] for me.

You visited more places here than I have! The only one of those I went to was São Paulo, two times now. The last one was to see a Paul McCartney show.

In Italy now the name caio is not used anymore like it used to be. Now you can find the name caio in (tizio caio e sempronio) these are the names of three hypothetical persons, used in Italian to indicate any person taken as an example.

It was Irnerio who first used them for legal simplification (Titius Gaius et Sempronius) in his works.

That is so cool. A nice little fact I'll remember about my name. Thanks!

Foi Mal! I guess if mk misspelled your name then maybe there are worse things for me to do. I think more Americans should have a visit to your country. I thought the U.S. and Brazil were similar in many ways. It felt like visiting a sibling :)
