And 99.9% of the brazilians actually think they're electoral system is so technological advanced and that all other countries envy them. When in reality, the brazilian voting machines got banned in all of the 40 countries that tried it. Other than that there is that Ronaldo guy everyone keeps talking about. | ||

Take my own state, New York for instance - Where I live is pure techno-burb and large isolationism from the rest of the state. Upstate New York is COMPLETELY different then the rest of lower NY. Politically, socially, economically. If you asked me what a typical city in Brazil is like, I'd probably have to point out not much different then say LA - large social boundaries but still room to grow. If you ask me about rural brazil, I probably couldn't say much. I did learn about the city project in Brasil though in my Urban Society class. One of the few planned modern cities in this hemisphere. | ||

It was nice stimulus but the problem is that it almost feels like it was specifically made to quench the protesters who were kinda phisically moved away from the capital. Brasil has some interesting buildings Our "white house" or Palacio do planalto ![[image loading]](http://www.baixaki.com.br/usuarios/imagens/wpapers/148019-18025-1280.jpg) Classic Maracanã ![[image loading]](http://www.copacabana.info/images/maracana.jpg) Cristo Redentor ![[image loading]](http://www.prontocabo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cristo-redentor-rio-de-janeiro.jpg) | ||

I know that Brazil is really different depending on which region you are talking about. The eastern areas are modernized with all the famous cities and northern area is poor and dominated by the Amazon rainforest. | ||

Some cool facts then About one-fourth of all the world's known plants are found in Brazil. Brazil’s natural resources include bauxite, gold, iron ore, manganese, nickel, phosphates, platinum, tin, uranium, petroleum, hydro-power and timber. 95% of Brazilian 18-29 years old population belives in religion 68% says they are deeply religious (same age range) 62% say they believe in reencarnation (same age range) 35% actually tryes to live up to church doctrines (same age range) 99.9% dont have faith in politics (this one I made up but so true) | ||
