Three things I dislike about Brazil lol

But I think the article is a gross exaggeration with too much stereotyping.

lol try Boston, then. You'd probably love it here. I'll take Rio's warm weather over Boston's icy winds any day.

I think Carnaval is the unofficial eighth world wonder, IMO. Also, I think it's more of a quintessential Brazilian thing. I've noticed how other Brazilians who are descended from (post-independence) immigrants tend to generally hate Carnaval and samba. I think the lack of relation is because those things are not really part of their culture.

This I find to be true about many of the women, especially here in Rio. They spend too much time at the gym trying to get bigger butts/thinghs and then showing them off and tanning them at the beach.
I avoid both beaches and gyms like the plague.
