I'm actually curious as to what will be the official price of the WiiU. During E3 they explained that it was delayed because of the lack of games, and with the recent PS4 price tag I'm wondering if it will go above R$1500.

Either way, sounds like a good excuse for a trip to Miami!

How hard would it be for a Canadian to emigrate to Brazil and find work there ? Let's say this Canadian was a lawyer and wanted to practice his profession there. Besides getting a valid degree in the country, what else would he have to do to practice and live in Brazil ?

You probably should go back to college, since the laws and the system are different. And there's the OAB (Order of Lawyers of Brazil) test too.

But... ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!

Why does every Brazilian say that emigrating to Brazil is a bad idea? Sure the country has it's faults, but is it that bad?

It actually isn't, I can say this as an immigrant as well, but Canada is in such a much better shape, economically speaking. If you want to come to Brazil money should not be one of your reasons. In fact be prepared to have an actually high cost of living (while the quality decreases). Of course learning a new language and working in other country are invaluable experiences, I'm not sure law is the kind of career to do thst though.

Everything is expensive; you don't earn a lot of money; tons of taxes; bureacracy; unsafety; bad asphalt; bad cars; bad public transport; bad politicians, etc, etc, etc...

The only thing that is good in this shithole is the place itself; warmth, beautiful, full of natural richness. It's a good place to spend a month. But for living...

Since you're a foreigner living in Brazil, your word is worth more than mine, but (no offence) you come from another 3rd world country, so the shock maybe is not as big as someone comming from a country with the one of the highest human development indexes like Canada.

Brazil's economy and quality of life is only going up, from an already-okay level. I don't see why it would be such a terrible idea. And if I don't mind going through the requirements again to be a lawyer there, why should I forbid myself this change of life ?

Well... to be honest, we brazilians have something we call "complexo de vira-lata" (mutt complex, in english). We tend to see ourselves as inferior compared to the rest of the world. We tend to think that everything out there is better, and maybe it's not. I don't know.

If I start learning Brazilian Portuguese, will some of you volunteer to converse with me via PM in the language if I request it ? To practice, of course.

Keep in mind it is still a gamble. Brazil's economy took a halt these recent months, even before the countrywide protests, and many are a bit wary of what will happen after the Olympics, all my coworkers keep saying me if anyone wants to do something they have to do it now, before 2016, because they only see a nosedive from there, then again, it might be the usual brazilian pessimism.

My home country Colombia is kind of similar, people aren't confident on the country, even though it aims to be the second economy of latinamerica in the next years, It's important to keep those things in consideration if you are thinking about moving into the country though.

I'm cool with it :)

If you really want to live over really then you should look up how are the lawyer requirements. From what I know, it's very hard to actually pass the OAB test. Besides that, there are the laws themselves which are probably very different from Canadian ones, so you'll need to study all of that.

Moving to Brazil is always an interesting experience, in many areas you will have an edge due to the international background.


Also, you people from Curitiba, try getting more taxis over there or I will never go back. The taxi culture there is just horrible!

Well, its not an exclusivity of ours. Is it? I mean, anedoctal and all, but me and my family were completely horrified by the fact that when we were on Rio the driver simply stopped the car because his "turn" was over and we literally waited in there for like 20 minutes for the other driver to arrive, and he did not stop the money thing, like wtf. That was terrible. We were glad we were not in a hurry, cause otherwise that would have pissed us off even more.

Edit: Oh, you mean quantity not quality. lol nvm then.

Quality wise, never had any problems here. Took taxis on Recife, Rio and São Paulo, had problems with them all.

Quantity wise... yeah. That's a problem. Motherfucking URBS limits the number of cars here, and the demand nowdays is a lot bigger than the number of cars.

Curitiba was the first place I saw lines for taxis. I still get amused when I see one.
Yesterday at the bus station (almost at midnight) there was a line with, like, over a hundred people. Got a smile on me face, then crossed the street and took a taxi with no waiting.

In Blumenau, the taxi culture is way worse and shit's expensive as hell; my amusement here is mostly from the cultural shock.
