Question about living in Rj (de Janeiro) by Xpat-Forever
I am living in Rio de Janeiro for a few years now, recently divorced. My residency is still valid and no children. But I am feeling tired of the stress of living in a big city and the "Malandragem" culture that seems to be a problem here. So I am at ...
South Brasil is a No Go. Way to conservative even if I am far right politically. Northeast is the only option if Rj continues to be a struggle to live. I hope to take a Bus tour from Segipe to Fortaleza ... Vitoria looks interesting, never been ... Read More

Werner, I already know Floripa. It is very nice, pleasant and peaceful. Yes, very low crime. But it's a small town and a Car is needed if you want any freedom or privacy. Also, Santa Catarina is very cold in winter, too cold for me. Also, the people ... Read More

Dollar to Real by KenAquarius
Reports of the old girl’s death have been greatly exaggerated! No, I’m not talking about Betty White. I’m talking about the good old US dollar. She is back at 5 to 1 over the Real. At least for the moment…stay tuned!

I like uber and 99 as a close alternative. Taxis in RJ have enjoyed a monopoly for decades. Uber was a kick in their ass to clean/repair their shitty cars and improve on manners. Uber Black is best. 99 is cheaper but their Cars are not as good as ... Read More
how difficult is legally owning a firearm in brazil for an expat. by sortitoot
I was reading about it somewhere, i would need to have had citizenship or something for 4 years if memory serves. cant find the legislation now. but how feasible is it do you think?
Brazil has no second amendment. Even for law abiding citizens with zero infractions, it's almost impossible to own a Firearm. Because of this tragedy, most people walk the streets in fear, especially the elderly, the disabled and women. Read More
