Two weeks

I'll be working in this building for the next two weeks, a special audit work. This is the actual headquarter of Bank of Brazil. The Portuguese royal family fled the impending invasion of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1808 and came to live in Rio, where they stayed until 1821. King João VI founded then the Bank of Brazil, in order to keep his fortune. Of course it took it all away when he returned to Portugal. Since the 60's the headquarter is here in Brasília, although this building is from the 80's.
After these 2 weeks I'll have a 10-day holiday!
