Brazil: should you go?? here is my take... - Brazil it isnt inexpensive anymore, specially in the south(from Rio to RS. Also very very crowded. Im brazilian living abroad and I'd recommend to go to brazil for the experience as a whole (culture, ladies, people, food, parties etc etc,) but if you main goal is to suf then is better to go someplace else...good vibes!

Any recommendation on either get a 3/2 or 4/3 would be appreciated.
