yes, our region had, and still has, lots of gold, that´s why my state´s name is MINAS GERAIS (geral mines). here the portuguese foung one the biggest number of gold of the History
A patria amada, obviamente idolatrada......
Dos filhos deste solo eis mae gentil patria amada Brasil.
I quite agree. It is a very poor country, with much violence and poverty but the people are so happy, the culture is amazing and the beaches and food is so beautiful. It is such a diverse country. South Brazil is very similar to Europe in appearance, Rio is Rio, and the north east has the most amazing beaches. Brazil is my favourite country, even allowing for the fact I was robbed by the customs officer in io the first time I entered the country.
It should be titled "The best country in the world for westerners to live" as you can live like a king in total paradise if you are a westerner. But for a lot of the poor people that live there, they don't think it is the best country in the world.
For the record, this is what they have the best of:
Best Women (without a doubt - no competition)
Best Food (different cuisine for each of the 33 states. bahia food is delicious as is minas gerais)
Best climate (warm and sunny)
Best beaches (without a doubt)
Best poetry as well :
Deitado eternamente em berço esplêndido
Ao som do mar, e à luz do céu profundo,
Fulguras, ó Brasil, florão da América,
Iluminado ao sol do novo mundo!
Do que a terra mais garrida,
Teus risonhos, lindos campos têm mais flores;
Nossos bosques tem mais vida,
Nossa vida no teu seio "mais amores".

Thank you au1029. Clearly this person has a mind the size of a pea. As far as I know, most lands if not all have thier own beauty. And Brazil it is not only checkered but a racist country.
Take Care.
A decade ago Brazil population was about like in Russia, but now in Russia it is only 145 millions against 175 in Brazil...

... wages per capita are falling even economy growths rather fast (and Brazil economy in fact growths slowly, and wages per capita falling faster). I don't know why when economic situation is unstable families would like to have more children, more poor children that will not have access to good education and well-paid job in future. Maybe because of the fact that Brazilians do not like to think about the future and live only under today's date? But I can understand them - sun and beaches make people a bit happier. And this whole Brazilian "sunny" culture with endless carnivals promotes careless life. That's my humble opinion.
Brazil
I would really love to visit Brazil, here in the US, everyone seems to be moving so quickly, they do not take the pleasure to enjoy what is around them. they take everything for granted. their health is declining, eat too much and work too hard.
mexico vs Brazil
I think even Brazil is larger than Mexico, mexico is more popular in the world, (tequila, mariachi, the only latin american country who did olympic games etc.) besides Mexican economy is increasing.
Is there much violent crime in Brazil?
The reason I ask is because I'm considering a trip and possible permanent move to Brazil. I'm a bit wary, though, because I don't know much about it yet.

That's what me and my husband are thinking of doing. What part of Brazil did they move to? What do they love about it?
They live at No Condominio Jardim Clarice
Anil, Rio deJaneiro, RJ CEP 22753-370
Brazil. They were able to purchase a luxury condo for a paltry (by US standards) sum and they are living the life of millionaires despite not actually being so.

What about medical care? Have they mentioned that?
My friends wife has terminal cancer. They seem to be getting the best of medical care. He said they would come back to the US if they could get better medical care.
