Just so you know, that case I referred to was over 25 years ago, so you were probably still living in Canada at the time. That's why I asked if you happened to be familiar with that case, although I'm also aware that even Canada does not get ... Read More

That's, of course, very possible, but, again, maybe not. Something like being a member of the Armed Forces could be a factor when it comes time for weighing and tipping the scales of "justice," just like being a member of the Police ... Read More

That's why I was curious to know because I know that here in the states the mother is always considered more dominantly than the father although I also have seen signs that that is changing, which I'm all for, IF and WHEN there is justified ... Read More

Should I purchase a new cell phone in Brasil? by artmunk
I will soon relocate from the US to Brasil (long term). Should I bring a cell phone with me or purchase a new one in Brasil? If I do bring one with me, will it be compatible with Brasilian phone systems and plans? Thanks in advance.
Oh, OK. Thank you. Read More

Where do I begin? by Triniguarani
:) This is an intro, so I'll be brief. I am a Trinidad and Tobago national residing in Brazil for the past 18 years. The opener above gives way to a flood of questions whenever I say that in a conversation - in English or in Brazil. This ...
Here's one: Not quite sure I understand what you or others (in English and Brazil, as you state) find so confusing about your situation, i.e., what "flood of questions" that statement could give rise to. Maybe I'm missing ... Read More
The ridiculous price of registering documents in Rio for marriage???? by msantunes13
Hi all! My partner and I are trying to get married. But our situation is a little but different. I am Australian, he is Brazilian. We have lived together here for almost 2 years. I already have all brazilian equivilent of documents here in Brazil ...
msantunes13 First, I want to also agree that having your Birth Certificate stamped in your country of origin is "far fetched," but as others have already mentioned here, welcome to the far-fetched bureaucratic world of Brazil...! And even ... Read More
Dating Brazilians by firlus
This might sound funny, but I couldn't help wonder since I'm a trained relationship and dating coach, how gringos are viewed in terms of dating? In other words, is it ever considered a bit strange or socially awkward for Brazilians to be ...
Although I am not heterosexual, I agree that "ALL" men do NOT consider themselves God's gift to women. I have known many men throughout my life in the U.S. (though of many different cultures and backgrounds, of course, as, this IS the ... Read More

You... and everyone else, firlus. You'd think it was the Garden of Eden! Trust me, after being on this blog, if I wasn't MADLY and FOREVER in love with a worthy Brazilian woman who wishes to stay in Brazil I would no longer want to emigrate ... Read More

LOL!!! Marco2013's reply WAS "a lot of info" as well as "interesting," as you put it, firlus. But YOUR summing-it-all-up-in-a-nutshell response, firlus, was TOTALLY amusing and entertaining...! :) Cheers to YOU!! Read More
Brazil Drivers License by JohnC
I know it is supposedly possible to Drive on an American (US Issued) drivers license in Brazil and to be able to exchange it for the equivalent Brazil Document. What I am told and this varies that it is not necessary to have it translated ( But when ...
You have NO idea how happy I am to hear that a US license can be TRADED IN for a Brazilian one!! If THAT much is ACCURATE, the fact that the US license may have to be TRANSLATED is the LEAST of what I thought was necessary in order to acquire a ... Read More

Tratado de Amizdade by firlus
I was speaking to my brazilian friend today...., as we were talking about me, making my way into the Brazil and ways I could stay, he raised something I wasn't aware of and I don't know if anyone has heard of the Tranado de ...
