I have just added a new category, the category places. I’ll be starting with Brazil, my own country. This will be a serie of five articles: general information, economy, tourism, history and culture. Let me know what do you think of it!

General Information about Brazil 

Brazil is a very big country, divided into twenty six states and a federal district, it is not possible to give Brazil a main characteristic, as each part of the country can be metaforicaly considered a different country, there were some movements to make the South of the country a different country, but it was not effected.

Anyway, the Brazilian image on the rest of the world is not so good anymore, the country is seen as a complete mess, where the only important things are Carnival and soccer, which is, of course, not true. The world has a wrong view of Brazil, most likely because of it’s size.

Brazil is a tropical country, the weather is hot the biggest part of the year, but there are some curiosities, for example, the South of the country has a very intense winter, it even snows in a few cities, and the Northeast has no winter, there is no winter over there, the seasons are divided into rainy and dry. It can be a good thing for tourists who are looking for some hot weather, but it must be horrible to live in a place where you are not going to ever feel the cold weather.

So, basically, Brazil is a good place, even though it is not seen like that around the globe, of course, the country has problems, tell me which country does not, one of the main characterisits of the Brazilian people is that they are very warm, tourists are loved over there, and people are generous, Brazilian people are certainly the best feature of Brazil.
