One month that a-ha were in Brazil. Read the my "a-ha fan adventures" in Brazil below:

great! I met them in São Paulo, Rio and Campinas.

Club
(www.a-habrazil.com ) , and a Brazilian mailing list that have been growing

very happy!

gave my cowboy hat to him and he put it on his head and smile to
my camera!

Barretos, then he held my hand and looking to my eyes he asked me
