Firstly, Brazil is a huge diverse country, so for someone to say, in Brazil or here, is laughable anyway, some of the people on here dont know squat about different regions of Brazil and the the south is totally the opposite of the northern regions, so thats just for starters.

Also if you have just gotten here and are still enjoying the beaches, thats laughable aswell, unless you make your living there of course.

Afew people commenting on this site, arent even here or dont spend much time here.

Brazil is a changing evolving country aswell, which way it go, who knows, but things are very different to when i can here 8 or so years ago.

 

What do you do here kevbo?

 

Edit. It doesnt take a rocket scientist either to work things out, you just have to read this forum. Its tough as hell in this country for gringoes, mainly because we cant work the Brazilian mentality out and they keep changing the laws and the rules every other week. Many people who are happy here, receive their income from somewhere outside the country, hence the huge interest in the exchange rates.

 

Very few people are making it big here and the ones that are, probably, arent on here, i know one person who has done well. And i know also that there are afew Brazilians on here posing as gringoes, its the same old story. Beat down the realities and the gringoes. Having said that, i think many americans are immune to the political structure here as its similar to their own. As a person from the UK, i find it a very alien style of running a country. The person with the most money gets elected. Yeah, great, thats democratic isnt it. What the .
