You miss Brazil and need some images to feed your nostalgia – but you think that postcards simply don’t show the reality? I have the perfect entertainment for you: Globe Genie, a project that allows you to choose a continent to “visit” and shows randomly picked 360 degree images from Google Maps. If you choose South America, you will certainly be sent to small streets and roads of the Southern Brazilian states. I used it for a while and I was never once sent to Colombia, Argentina or even other parts of Brazil.
It was conceived by Joe McMichael, a grad student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the MIT, and it is quite awesome.
