Europeans seek new lives in old colonies

[Caliga]

Being decapitated by Muslim rebels ain't my thing, personally.

I don't like latin american culture.
They are far too religious for my taste.
They are like 99.99% catholic and still think jews are evil.

I like Spain and Portugal, though.
I see a huge diference between their mediterranean culture and the latinamerican culture of their old colonial possessions.

Antarctica, Spitsbergen, Bouvet Island... yeah, I am not going anytime soon.

[Barrister]

I hear Spitsbergen is nice this time of year...

Don't know about the rest, but Brazil is pretty good on the jewish angle. They'll kill ya and rob you, but for a whole host of other reasons besides you being jewish.

You shouldn't listen to what the polar bears tell you.

Next you'll be telling me raw seal meat isn't good for breakfast, lunch or supper.

[Norgy]

It is. Lots of those important saturated fat acids.

Anyway, if I was Portuguese I'd definitely leave for Brazil.  Carnival in Rio Y'ALL

Enjoy breathing that AIDS air.

Or just getting killed outright.  There are some rural parts of Brazil I'd like to visit, but I have no desire to set foot any any of their big cities.

My brother and his common law just came back from visiting his girlfriend's family in Salvador and had only wonderful things to say...

Argies generally aren't too deeply religious.  They tend to be anti-semitic, but it's a softer variety mostly limited to jokes & whatnot.

Good for him.  I guess it helps to have friends/in-laws there.  But the generally high crime rate in Brazil + having zero interest in Brazilian culture is enough to keep me away.  I love me some Argentina and I'd like to go to Uruguay ("mini-Argentina"), Chile, and a few spots in Peru.  But the rest of South America = meh.

I fully expect having to make the trip to Brazil next year for a wedding, so I'll let you know then.

[Josquius]

I'd love to go to Brazil sometime, after the orient its the place I'd most like to visit atually. The crime though is very off putting.

if you're a native English speaker (and don't like Latino) you're pretty good. Just stay in the touristy areas and away from brightly coloured neighborhoods. Seriously, the more brightly painted the houses the more poor the neighborhood.
