In retrospect, would you move again to Brazil? by Christine
Hi all, If you had to look back on your expat experience in Brazil, would you heartily say "lets do it again"? From the preparation stage to your actual everyday life in your new country, what did you enjoy the most? Would you do certain ...
Personally i love Brazil - coming from a cold nordic country i love both the climate and the warmth of the people living here. Where i grew up we kind of go into hibernation socially for 8 months a year because it is impossible to stay outside ... Read More

Hello everyone, Given the tense political situation in Brazil, foreign nationals who are on the spot or who are planning to travel there are advised to be very careful during coming days. Several political gatherings are scheduled throughout the ...
It is truly getting very tense in the country at the moment - i, as an easily recognisable gringo regardless of how i dress, just avoid large gatherings and in the evening i avoid poor areas. It is very easy to get dragged into a discussion about ... Read More
Brazil economy, reais & stock market

So now it is (finally) official - PT's biggest coalition partner, PMBD, is leaving the government and several ministers has already ...
This is what i am worried about now that impeachment seems almost inevitable - the PMDB mafia has everything to gain by shutting Down the lava jato investigation and a large part of the population will be happier for it since they by now only wants ... Read More

Lava jato and PT by Cabo Frio
Wonder if Dilma is stupid enough to offer Lula a cabinet post so he can avoid jail - that will signal the end for both of ...
Now i am truly giving up any hope for this to end well - Dilma's government will continue to slide into more and more caos until it finally selfimplodes Latest twist now is that the head of the central bank will be replaced because Lula (Now ... Read More

If Lula is appointed to a minister post it would mean that Dilma's government is openly trying to obstruct the countrys legal system - that really gives the expression "banana republic" new meaning. Even Dilma must know that any ... Read More

Why did Brazil purchase 36 Swedish fighter planes so they could ask you for more money, and give you a good reason for asking http://latincorrespondent.com/2015/10/why-did-brazil-purchase-36-swedish-fighter-planes-during-economic-hardship/
This tread actually starting to get interesting :top: James - the forum should allow a few friendly jabs - especially when it involves two expats from the same country - what is the harm ? if there is any Brazilians reading they can get a laught ... Read More
Is Lula finally falling ? by Cabo Frio
With the arrest yesterday of the PT leader in the senate the corruption scandal is getting closer and closer to Lula - will he "finally" be implicated ? One of his sons has clearly been abusing his connection to his father and now with the ...
Maybe you are right James But the picture is just a photo-op of present and former presidents - not really fair to use that as a evidence of friendship. I really doubt that Cardoso and Collor is friends or has even been friends But in the article ... Read More

Go Dilma! by VictoriaChandler
Am I the only person in Brazil rooting for Dilma? She vetoed a bill that would give "public servants in the judiciary" a salary increase of 78% and that veto was ratified by Brazilian lawmakers. At least Dilma is trying to prevent the ...
You are not alone rooting for Dilma ! So far nobody has been able to pin any corruption on her or her family. Without her i think that the lava jato investigation would have been stopped a long time ago. How can the country regain international ... Read More
