It's a shame really. I'm sure that Rio would love to have me over for dinner.

Some reinforce the strings with wire or ground glass for dueling other kites and betting on who wins. When strings cross in the congested sky, the winner cuts loose his opponent's kite.
I grew up in Brazil where kite fighting is wildly popular and have great memories of playing for hours on Copacabana Beach. Lot's of fun!
