I am Brasilian by birth so i am allowed to say my thoughts. I left Brasil for Europe 10 years ago the best thing I ever did I now have freedom from corruption and violant crime and the ability to think with with my head and not my heart as we Br tend to do I guess left over from the Portugease. Good luck with your tourism quest as I know no one who wants to go to Brasil for tourism and why should they with the guns? Keep dreaming Brasil with your cheap girls and stay where you belong, inprisoned in your high rise tower blocks in Sampa I have a good life with the class of an english wife boy they are amazing in every way.

With the whole world to see in safety, tell me why come to Brasil. Oh yeah easy girls with faces full of makeup that turn most of Sampa Gay. I am brasilian and left like the above many years ago and now have freedom and an English wife who takes care of my every need and could show all the brasilian girls how to behave, oh by the way not cheap when married like any CLASSY English girl virgin until marriage. Tourism no thanks Brazil good luck with it though.

You better read the comments of the 2 brazilians just above !!

I said to Joao 2-3 years ago, that I do know many brazilians over here in Switzerland !
NONE wants to go back in their country. NONE AT ALL !!!!

And for so many tourists robbed, harmed, cheated, their word of mouth is far superior than the 30 millions dollars in advertising selling the apparent beauty of the country !

APPARENT BEAUTY ! But dirty and polluted in reality !
Even dirty and polluted by the local mentalities.

Suffice to read/listen the tourists comments and even the comments of brazilians who left the country !

Obrigda to ch.c for the comments left, at last someone who is sensible. You cannot sell a country by marketing as you say let the tourist speak for themselves as they already have other than carnival its a forgotton country rightly. Yes its beautifull but so are many other countries in the world tciou Brasil.
jose ferreira, " Yes its beautifull....."
written by ch.c., July 16, 2010
Beautiful ? Welllll may be but only if you like dirt and pollution !

There is Nooooo need to have 7000 kms of oceanfront...if none of it is cleaned REGULARLY !
The 7000 kms of oceanfront is great...since you have made it your garbage, sewage and wastewater STORAGE !!!

Better yet, sooner or later you too will get a BP oil spill !

BP standing for Brazil Petrobras !

Ohhh and what is the Worldwide Ranking of the Brazilians Best Cities ?
Not within the first 70, to my knowledge !
And this despite your carnavalssssss, Copacabana and Ipanema !!

Just a myth. Otherwise you would have a better ranking !

Anyway, Brazil enjoys their 1000 favelas in Rio alone. And they are sure it is a selling point for potential tourists !

There are not tens but many hundreds of more beautiful areas than Brazil beaches !
And believe it or not, and wether brazilians like it or not, with just as beautiful girls than in Brazil beaches.

Why are you over sensitive Brasilians not hitting back? Maybe cause you cant blame as usuall the USA but it would be nice to hear some rational defense and bebate. Name me the reason why tourist would dream of going to Brasil? And also what possible strategy can ther be for holding the Olympics, surely funds would have been better spent on even a skeletan infastructure oh yes another corrupt government plot.
Beauty
written by Simpleton, July 18, 2010
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Can you find that in Brasil as a tourist? Certainly. Can you see Copacabana as nothing but a shit hole filled with soiled streets, soiled minds, bodys and souls? Yeah you can see that too. In the heart of some of the favelas can you find simplicity, tranquility, peace of spirit and the utmost civility (being there are no police)? Yes, but as a routine tourist you certainly won't get a chance - you simply cannot go there if you value your life. Beautiful girls on the beaches? You mean the occasional decent looking pro or the young foreign visitors?

We find it an okay place to live for part of the year but I wouldn't really call our visits tourism - maybe a couple outings each time but those are typically because my lady doesn't swim so the famous beach is just the open sewer that it is, gets used as such, and elsewhere we can sometimes find clear, calmer, less polluted waters for her to wade (and better looking bitches too!)

Herr Doktor, You are in good form! Definitely must be the french wine at the swimming pool along with some delightful 'foreign' company.

I read somewhere that about 22% of the Swiss population is foreign born. I would like to know how these foreigners contribute to Swiss society & if most of them are highly educated & with special skills.

Kindly enlighten me on this subject. Amen!

Ridiculous negative comments!
written by Ray Adkins, July 19, 2010
Frankly,
Why would any Brazilian care to answer such absurd comments?
Two retarded freaks who left Brazil and married virgin English ladies? Ha! laughable, but each one live it's own fantasy.
But please stay the hell away from Brazil, the country is actually doing wonderful without your presence, eat all the disgusting canned food you want, enjoy the doom and gloom weather and make sure to drink a lot of black English tea, perhaps your teeth will look as bad as the rest of the population and you will blend in.
Brazil is a gorgeous country, it has problems like everywhere else, but if you waist your time concentrating in the problems, the bad and the ugly, you will certainly miss the beauty, the beautiful and everything enjoyable about the country. That is for every country, not just Brazil.
Brazil is on a roll, real state in Rio is up 76% in parts of the city due to decrease crime rates, the city is clean, the country is wealthy, there are jobs, there is prosperity, if you want to stay out, stay the hell away, your loss!
Brazil is not for losers, that is for sure!

Ray
