Brazil is in many ways the opposite of Sweden (as with America, this is just speculations) for good or bad. The weather is better (in Brazil)
. The country is larger <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" />. There is bigger gaps between rich and poor <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" />. The country is more corrupted <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" />. Pepole are more social <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />. The menatlity is more of a Manjana (Spanish for tomorrow, don't know how to spell it)mentality <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" />. The good thing with that is that pepole are more relaxed and more spontanious (in Sweden we like to plan basicly everythin on the millisecond). But, they have trouble coming on time (which I see as disrespecting other human beings, since I'm raced that way).
Übereil
You're right in some points man, "the country is more corrupted", but i don't believe that big - all the world isn't, but is not so talked about, they hide a lot - here even people trying to hidding about the wrong things they do, the newspapers or the television "always" show their mistakes(corruption) to everybody, of course isn't possible to show everything.
"The people are more social"
In general yes, but don't believe that so much - of course like in everywhere has non-social people here.
I don't believe the mentality is more of a Manjana(Spanish for tomorrow).
I believe here will be unlike any other country, just like don't has a country what is completely equal to other.
The weather is better here - agree - we don't have big storms or much nature accidents, you can live without concern about this, has weathers for everybody, cold and hot and cold sometimes and hot sometimes.
