Brazil is awesome, the woman are beautiful, the people are friendly, the weather is warm, and the landscape is incredible. I was shocked at the seemingly low price of these obviously cool apts, which I'm sure by this time have escalated. If they still cost that much, count me in lol. Last I checked, (my girlfriend is Brazilian), The dollar was only 2.1x stronger than than Brazilian currencey - the "real" ( 1 dollar = 2.1 reals )
