Welcome to Brazil

So, your a "Gringo" and thinking about coming to Brazil but all you know about Brazil is, Samba, Big Ass and Soccer... oh and of course the slums and thieves that thrive on every street corner.

Let me just say that YOUR view and impression of Brazil is distorted, it's incorrect. There are not thieves on every corner neither does everybody live in a shanty town. Sure there are some, but your idea of how much is disproportionate. People here are of rich culture and even some (a lot in fact) live very well. Some apartments in Rio and Sao Paulo are fetching $5,000,000 US. or MORE.


Please stop thinking that Brazil is just jungles and poverty. It's beautiful and really needs to been seen to be believed.

Or maybe even you are thinking that because you are so fair skinned that you will be a target for kidnapping or robbed on the street. OK, lets not under play the fact that you are Caucasian and stand out more than others but it's not that bad... there are white people here to as hard as it is to believe. I have found since living here since 2008 that I am welcomed with open arms and with warmth. People here like someone different and don't see you as a danger. they are curious about your culture and the place from which you come.

The transport here is diverse and varied and ranges from your average Subway system to Moto Taxi (Motorbike taxi)
Services on hand again are diverse and varied and you can find or do anything you want here the same as home.
And lets not forget the place to see, some of note are Christ The Redeemer in Rio, The Sugar Loaf also in Rio and in Sao Paulo places of note are Parque do Ibirapuera (a beautiful park in Sao Paulo city) Museu Do Ipiranga (great museum) and of course the Baladas (Night clubs)

Lets not forget also about the food here... its wide and varied and absolutely delicious.
One of the most popular of course been Churrasco (BBQ) This BBQ is probably the nicest on earth and really needs to be eaten to understand what I'm talking about.

Açai also is great. It's a fruit thats found in the Amazonas but availability is found in every city. There is a few ways you can eat it, the most common been in a desert form and is unbelievable in its divinity. Again this like the BBQ needs to be eaten to be understood. It is the best food on GOD's earth and when you come here you can't go home without trying it.

I really can't stress it enough, Brazil (Brasil) is the most beautiful place on earth and at least worth a visit from you.
I have more about Brazil to follow in future posts.
