What is the cheapest way to mail a 20 lb Christmas gift box from Spokane, WA to Jabaticabal, Brazil?
It contains our exchange student's Sr. Photos in Frames. It's dimensions are 15in.X 16 inches X 10 in. I also would like to mail 9x6" envelopes internationally to send gifts to my World Vision kids, inexpensively.

FedEx or UPS would probably be your best bet. But I do know that you'll pay roughly what your items are valued as in Brazilian customs so do find out how to pay for customs fees so the recipient doesn't incur those costs.
2 :
First write the name of the city right it's Jaboticabal. It is probably best to send it through the post office. If you were sending a big Package I would recommend Confiança or Ipanema brazilian carriers. I would call all of them and find out the prices.

here should I travel to in Brazil?
where should I travel to in Brazil?
I am a student going abroad to Lima, Peru this semester and I was thinking of going to Brazil for a couple weeks after the semester. Where in Brazil should I travel to? I enjoy beaches/lakes, nightlife, and culture. OR what about maybe a different country in South America? What do you recommend?

Brazil? Unless you are South American and understand the risks I would not recommend visiting Brazil at all, it is a very dangerous Country and that goes double for tourists.

The Evil Lord Darkclaw: shut up idiot! stop being a pussy! Brazil is not that dangerous, yeah rio is dangerous, but Brazil is more than Rio, I have lived most of my life in Brazil and nothing happen to me ever.
3 :
Florianópolis or some other Santa Catarinas's (state) beaches. :)
4 :
Florianopolis is the way to go... some of the best beaches around, as well as the most beautiful people, good nightlife, and its MUCH LESS violent than cities like Rio. BUT it depends when you go. Florianopolis is relatively cold in the winter. You wont get snow there, but certainly you will freeze if you try to swim or take a sun bath. Summer in the southern hemisphere goes from december to march, you know, and winter from june to september. if it happens that you would only be able to visit Florianopolis in cold months, then you should think somewhere else. Rio is not really a bad call. The violence is high but its quite restricted to the poor neighborhoods. And Rio is huge, so there is plenty of space that ARENT poor neighborhoods.

Brazil have plenty of options for someone who enjoy beaches. Just some of those place worth to know: Natal - RN Fortaleza - CE Porto de Galinhas - PE Salvador - BA Porto Seguro - BA

wow if you are going to Peru you can't miss the geoglyphs (huge drawings on the ground) of Nazca!!! they are truly extraordinary, the spider, the monkey!! lol my dream is to go to Peru and see them all =) beaches and culture are everywhere but that kind of things you WON'T find anywhere in Brazil (nor anywhere else)

Do people say "thank you" very often in Brazil?
Do people say "thank you" very often in Brazil?
We have an exchange student from Brazil staying with us. He said that most people in Brazil do not say thank you very often like they do in the USA. Sometimes people here in the USA think he is rude for not saying it. Has anyone else heard of this difference between Brazil and the USA?

Never noticed it. My husband's store invites a bunch of Brazilian students to work during their "summer" break every year. And I think they are very polite. But then, they are in a service industry, and they may be trained to say "thank you" more. I didn't notice anything of the sort when I was in Portugal, either. But then, different country...the language and culture don't always transfer that completely.
2 :
Of course they do its a very generous and happy country, my half brothers lives in brazil he always says thank you!
