I need some first hand info on a few cultural aspects of Rio. I'm writing a novel and I don't want to base my stuff on generalizations. Anyone who wants to chat with me let me know. i'll be in Rio next year too!

Obrigado!!!....bjs

you should come and live here for as long as possible...

You know what they say: "Write about what you know."

Thats easy - but w/ the resources, so now I have to be creative. I do have friends who have helped me so far they double check my work from there... the more who concur the better though

Thanks

Currently in Rio, and living in Copacabana and looking to eventually move outside of Rio - what sort of information are you seeking. I am Australian, my wife is Brazilian and we have a sound understanding of life here. You can reach me: Darleith@hotmail.com
