I am considering a move to a South or Central American country, to live permanently, sometime in the next 3 years. I have been traveling to various mountain cities in Mexico, so far, to "feel out" the scenes. I've been favoring mountain cities because I don't like the hot hot general climate and am not so excited about coastal living. I want to be IN or NEAR a big city; am somewhat of a "night person" and want to find things to do (live music, etc) that go on into the wee hours of the night... I will be living on a traditional pension from my civil service job in LA. It is difficult to find good information about Brazil, in English, online... Am open to any suggestions about what cities/towns to visit (in Brazil or elsewhere).
