What are the people like in your city? by Simonh342
I am forever hearing about the warm, friendly, welcoming people in Brazil. But this much-used description just doesn't reconcile with my experience of Brazilian people. Not in Brasilia, anyway. In DF the people are the cold, 'oh look at ...

How to bring your car to Brazil by Bhavna
Hello everybody, If you exported your car to Brazil, were there any formalities that needed to be completed beforehand? What were they? What is the best way to export your car? Is there a limit on the number of vehicles, or perhaps the age of ...
