My favourite quotation about Brazil:
"Brazil is not for beginners."
Tom Jobim, co-inventor of Bossa Nova
My second favourite quotation about Brazil:
"Brazil has over four thousand kilometres of beaches. It's full of foxy women. Why struggle to be a superpower?"
Pablo Santucci, Market Leader Intermediate, Group 3A

The world would be a smoother place if we all had a Brazilian.
Sx
So that's why you never hear about the Isle of Man's nuclear deterrent.
Scarlet - smoother and more chaotic, probably.
Kevin, I am impressed with your grasp of geopolitics.
The rise of Brazil and India to superpower status is only a matter of time. The benefits are huge. Decent music and food respectively, proper religion (Santeria and Hinduism) cancelling out the Jihad/Jeezus stuff, and a sobering moment for Argentina and Pakistan - countries I've always associated with bad dancing and politics.
You're right, Boyo, we are the coming storm.
Scarlet, I've had a Brazilian, but it doesn't half make the scotum sore when it starts growing back.
I never liked Argentina, and Candomblé truly rocks, so go for it!
