There is just one remark I´d like to make: Notwithstanding the fact that Brazil is a 100% single language country, it is culturally VERY diverse. If you go from the north tip of Brazil to the far south you will see regions culturally as different as Belgium and India. So knowing Sao Paulo and Rio does not give you the whole picture.Heliano Cabralhttp://www.avionics.com.brnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434768368145739040.post-73276879087681357702014-07-30T08:52:41.605-03:002014-07-30T08:52:41.605-03:00Yes, indeed he is ITA '91. :)Yes, indeed he is ITA '91. :)Kris Brazilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536404250677125262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434768368145739040.post-73580413885014273602014-07-30T03:43:45.582-03:002014-07-30T03:43:45.582-03:00Are your husband an ITA (Instituto Tecnológico de ...Are your husband an ITA (Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica) graduate?

Lots of people don't know where Brazil is exactly and putting Madagascar into play is not helping. I'm guessing many folks don't know where Madagascar is either. I wish they had grabbed the animals from Rio the movie so we would at least not confuse the continent. <br />2. Sticking with my story of making them look terrified not helping encourage tourism here.<br />3. Well, the stadiums only take Visa or cash. But not animals. I'm sorry I just don't get the point here. You have cartoon figures, terrified, from another continent, not even showing the credit card. I'd rather see a photo of Falcão and Donovan and Robinho even looking sad because this is where they want to be. <br /><br />I'm sticking to my story...worst ad...but no worries, the Cup is not over so there could be other contenders.Kris Brazilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536404250677125262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434768368145739040.post-10355899198282760732014-06-27T07:11:00.980-03:002014-06-27T07:11:00.980-03:00#1: Isn't that the point?

The animals in Madagascar would like to be in Brazil at this point because of the World Cup.<br />#3: What do credit cards have to do with football anyway? Do players need them to make purchases mid-match? Problem is once you start asking those sort of questions you get most sports sponsors in trouble. Official photo-copier? Official beer? Let's face it: it's a spectator event, not a sporting one.<br />#2: Ermmm.. well, I got nothing. Is that the way they always look?

I am very sorry to hear about all the cloning etc. That's terrible to start out that way. <br /><br />I have studied security here for the past year--we had three kidnappings in front of my sports club, neighbors were getting held up with their kids in front of schools, and I made an effort to understand what is going on. I am sure there is a large difference between Saquarema and Sao Paulo. We have more than 11 million residents here. It is a large city by any standards, and has the security risks that come with it.<br /><br />I personally go to only one ATM in all of Sao Paulo. It's inside the sports club and relatively safe. All my cards have chips. Anyway, I thank you for your input and I'm going to put in a note above so no one, hopefully, gets cards cloned at the airport.Kris Brazilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536404250677125262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434768368145739040.post-69653138864274655652014-05-31T01:08:33.955-03:002014-05-31T01:08:33.955-03:00I know of three people...one is currently staying ...I know of three people...one is currently staying with me and it happened last week, it was the only ATM he had used, some guy in Peru got over £500, he's got the money back but lots of hassle and he now waiting for a new card to arrive in Brazil... all their cards had been cloned from using Rio airport ATM's and all different banks... I've read about it on other blogs too. It seems the problem appears to just be at the airports.

Yeah, yeah,...Hmmm, well, your team is in São Paulo! Yeah, yeah, just the training center, poor kids get to fly around a bit.<br /><br />Bring your rain gear. It's rainy season in the northeast--we would seriously love to have it here but no, it's for you. <br /><br />Until recently I would have said that you will be more than fine in Recife. From my security research, Recife was one of the safest cities in the northeast--queen of the pigs as it were, as the northeast has the worst homicide rate in the country. Nah, that shouldn't worry you--that is mostly drug war stuff. Recently Recife suffered from a police strike that resulted in mass mayhem in the streets--you can pull up an AP article on it from last week here: http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory/brazil-bracing-widespread-protests-23728839. That being said, the police has already promised not to strike during the Cup.<br /><br />My English student is from Recife. She says to be as cautious as in São Paulo and to just dress down. You are American, and probably there's much you can do to hide your gringo-ness. That's not an insult--the same is true of this blonde, blue-eyed tall person writing this. She (and I) do not believe that the tourists are targets so you should be fine. Be aware that fewer people speak English there than here so a few phrases in Portuguese will be helpful.<br /><br />I am sorry to say that I can't help on Natal. Never been there. Seems nice. Also rainy at this time of year. <br /><br />Have TONS of fun!Kris Brazilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536404250677125262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434768368145739040.post-90050658356981751812014-05-20T17:20:50.157-03:002014-05-20T17:20:50.157-03:00This is some great information.
