Recommended dentist in Fortaleza? by priscilla1712

Can anyone recommend a dentist in Fortaleza? Doesn't have to be the most expensive one, nor the cheapest, just a decent dentist in the city. Thanks a lot.

We'll miss you James by Julien

Hi everyone, I am very sorry and sad to announce these sad news, but our expert James passed away in horrible circumstances. I haven't got all the details, I've heard he got murdered last week in Macae. I've lost a friend, a mentor, ...

mataikhan

Oh, no! I just read this. Very saddened by this news. James really was an expert, and his knowledge about °µÍø½ûÇø life in Brazil was encyclopedic. In my mind, the Brazil °µÍø½ûÇø Forum was "synonymous" with James Woodward. In addition to his ... Read More

What's with the move recently to get CPF's on all notas fiscais? Starting about a year ago, it seems any place where I made a purchase asked if I would like my "CPF na nota." And now shopping for groceries at the ... Read More

The plight of handicapped individuals in Brazil by James

The plight of handicapped individuals in Brazil. One would think that a nation, that even remotely imagines itself capable of hosting world class events such as the FIFA World Cup 2014 and the Summer Olympic Games 2016, would give at least a little ...

Teaching Portuguese to °µÍø½ûÇøs in Goiania by rdono32679

Oi, Does anyone know of any private language schools in Goiania that my Brasilian wife could teach Portuguese to °µÍø½ûÇøs?

mataikhan

Hello Robert. There is precious little in Goiânia in the way of Portuguese classes for °µÍø½ûÇøs. The UFG (Universidade Federal de Goiás) offers Portuguese classes only to foreign students enrolled at the university. The Catholic University claims to ... Read More
