I visited Brazil for six months. I was mostly in Rio, on the beach at Barra Tijuca, and in Sao Paulo. I went to Foz do Iguacu for a week. Sorry If I am misspelling the places. I found the people very open and accepting, and very relaxed. The traffic was scary, people drive at night without headlights on, and trying to drive near a soccer/football stadium after a game is insane. Brazil has the best BBQ, they call it Churrascaria, Great stuff.
The Brazilians are very proud, and they should be. It is a great place.

I am an Englishman living in Sao Paulo,brasil. I have been here for nearly two years now.The people are so friendly,the beaches are the best in the world.Cost of living is cheap especially housing.
If you come here stay away from Sao Paulo and Rio except for the odd day or two.If you visit these cities,remember they can be very dangerous.Be street wise,at night stay to the main streets and use taxis as much as possible.
Places i can recommend are : The falls at Iguacu,the island of Morro de Sao Paulo (near Salvador)and Paraty.

Brazil, officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: Brasil or República Federativa do Brasil, is the largest and most populous country in South America, and fifth largest in the world in both area and population. Spanning a vast area between central South America and the Atlantic Ocean, it is the easternmost country of the Americas and it borders Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and the French department of French Guiana. In fact, it borders every South American nation except for Ecuador and Chile. The country's name is generally believed to be derived from pau-brasil (brazilwood), a tree highly valued by early colonists, though some credit the name to a mythical land mentioned in Europe during Middle Ages. Brazil is home to both extensive agricultural lands and rain forests. Exploring vast natural resources and a large labor pool, it is South America's leading economic power and a regional leader. Because it was a colony of Portugal, Portuguese is Brazil's official language. Brazil has the world's second largest Christian population (151 million, behind that of the United States), and also is the world's largest Roman Catholic-majority nation in terms of both number of adherents and land mass — a strong cultural legacy left behind by the Roman Catholic Portuguese colonists.
Possessing large and well-developed agricultural, mining, manufacturing, and service sectors, as well as a large labor pool, Brazil's GDP (PPP) outweighs that of any other Latin American country, being the core economy of Mercosur. The country has been expanding its presence in world markets. Major export products include aircraft, coffee, vehicles, soybean, iron ore, orange juice, steel, textiles, footwear and electrical equipment.
According to the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, Brazil has the ninth largest economy in the world at purchasing power parity. Brazil has a diversified middle income economy with wide variations in development levels. Most large industry is aglomerated in the South and South-East. The North-East is the poorest region of Brazil, but it is beginning to attract new investment.
Portuguese is the only official language of Brazil. It is spoken by the entire population and is virtually the only language used in schools, newspapers, radio, TV and for all business and administrative purposes. Moreover, Brazil is the only Portuguese-speaking nation in the Americas, making the language part of Brazilian national identity. Portuguese as spoken in Brazil has developed independently of the European mother tongue, and it has undergone less phonetic changes than the language spoken in Portugal.

Brasil? Fantastic...I used to live in Rio de Janeiro. Funny the things one remembers...Rio has the most beautiful pavements in the world (You know the black and white mosaics). i always say that Rio is dirty, ugly and dangerous but it still is the most beautiful city in the world.
Nothing but good memories about Brasil
