Our host for the night was a young, enthusiastic guy named Trevor. It’s somewhat daunting at first when you enter a pitch-dark room, but slowly you begin to discover…

2011 was a year most remembered for massive upheaval and change the world over. Revolutions and riots aside, other far-reaching shifts also occurred, including Brazil overtaking the UK as the world’s sixth largest economy. Brazil, who’d have thunk it?
