Brazil is super-fun and exciting. The country is associated with amazingly cool and relaxed people and amazing parties;
Soccer in Brazil is awesome. Best soccer country in the world maybe. Moreover, the soccer is played beautifully and exuberantly. A lot of us associate Brazilian soccer with Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and Pele. High-energy, friendly, fun guys who are awesome to watch;
Crime. Brazil is dangerous. Kidnappings, theft;
Beautiful women ( I always think of the Brazil women’s volleyball team );
Lots of natural resources;
It is always hot and humid, Jungle-ey;
Amazon river;
Decent tax rates, but more progressive than the U.S; (A totally disagree on that! (Renato Alves) );
Multiracial;
Ronaldinho is from there; I know this from an Advertising agency I once worked at that used him in some material;
Soccer is huge there;
Still developing nation, one of the BRICs, whatever that means.
Even with the recent growth, there are still a lot of poor people there and everything that goes with that (disease, malnutrition, crime).
