I've never b4 heard someone describe Brazil as boring. Beaches, football and a great night life in Rio...is it all a myth?

but Rio is not the capital. Brasilia is the capital amd nordamericana seems to think that it is boring. I have never been to Brasilia so I can't tell you. Maybe you should try to find a job in Bahia.

Yeah... I have heard from tons of people... including Brazilians that Brasilia is a pretty boring city. Since you said you wanted in to work in the Capitol I assumed you must have meant Brasilia not Rio... lot's of people think Rio is the Capital of the country.

I love Salvador, Florianopolis, and Rio and I know there are tons of beatuiful places in the country. Brazil is an amazing country and the people, language, culture, beaches, etc. etc. are amazing!
