I know, Aeroboero, at least why I fell in love with Brazil. I did not fall in love with the political system, the bureaucracy, the social differences (mildly put) the corruption etc. etc. Those where the things that I saw only when I lived there for a period.
But going back often as a "tourist" (albeit with a large family there), you canīt help falling in love with the; climate, beaches, the laid back way of life (as opposed to the european), the most warm and open armed (in general) people that I have ever met (and Iīve seen many parts of the world)........well you know. Thatīs why you miss it. Not because of the stuff in the top of my post. Hope things are working out at -20 feet. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
