eu tenho 14 anos, e tô aprendendo português quero estudar para 2 ou 3 mêses no brasil no verão meu e-mail: gilarenasfan94@yahoo.com meu MSN é o mesmo obrigado :) and Curious, you are ignorant brasil is a great country with friendly people and rich culture. dont say nobody wants to study there, because i definitely do. just because you don't, you should not make generalizations. and, you didnt even answer her question. if you are not going to answer, just leave the question alone. ok? thanks.
2 :
no, thank you. that country is like Baghdad! a lot of violence, crimes, corrupt cops, a lot of thieves, if they know you're an American they will kidnap and contact your family from the US to send them money or they will kill but they will kill you anyway.. I saw in the news that this Brazilian man stole a necklace from this Italian tourist and the Italian tourist ran after that man and a bus or a can ran over him and killed him, no one stopped the Brazilian man who stole the necklace! if you want to study English, go to a school in your country that offers English, I don't think anyone would exchange places with you to study there. =/ If it was study aboard in France. Italy, Japan, etc.. maybe people will but not Brazil. Good luck

actually just googling apartments in rio is a good way to go... other than that just come down here and start talking to people that is where you will get the best results, most of the apts are word of mouth... try going to places where foreigners hang out like the Irish Pub, or Hostels and Lapa and tell people you are looking for a place and you will probably find lots of leads. I have helped a few people who I met find places right away. also a few friends stayed here I think they have private rooms avail too ......................

You can find all sorts of apartments in the Rio/Niterói area. You didn't mention, but I'm guessing you want to rent an equipped one for a short period (vacation, maybe). This kind of apartment is more expensive than those rented for a traditional 30 month contract. As I live in Rio, I seldom look for apartments like these. I do it only when foreign friends ask me for help. I usually go to the newspapers classified ads, but that will help you only if you can read Portuguese. If you can, take a look at http://www.zap.com.br/imoveis/busca-de-imoveis-simples.aspx Even if you don't understand Portuguese, you can try it: in block nº 1 choose ALUGAR POR TEMPORADA (SHORT-TERM RENT), in nº 2 use the pick list to choose APARTAMENTO PADRÃO (STANDARD APT.), KITCHENETTE (a one-room apartment with a corner kitchen and a bathroom, surely the cheapest kind), and the VALOR (price in Reals, the Brazilian currency: 1 dollar = approx.1.8 to 1.9 reals, and so on. In box nº 3 use the pick list to choose the ESTADO (state), than LOCALIDADE (city) and BAIRRO/REGIÃO (part of town): a pop-up will offer some areas; I suggest CAPITAL / ZONA SUL (the Southern zone, close to the sea) and BAIRRO (district). After writing all this I realized how confusing it must be, so I ran a simulation for Copacabana and found small apartments (with pictures) with daily rates from 45 reals, but most of them costing 60 or 70 reals a day. My search resulted in this shortcut http://www.zap.com.br/imoveis/resultado-busca-imoveis.aspx I hope it helps you. In My sources I indicate sites in English, probably offering more expensive options. I hope you can find what you're looking for and that you may enjoy your vacations in Rio.
3 :
can you speak the language? well... i guess you could search on google.com.br but it would be helpfulf if you typed it in portuguese...if you cant then... use a translating tool.
4 :
I use Vanna at www.vannarioflats.com.br. If you can't contact her through the web site, e-mail her at vannarioflats@yahoo.com. Don't know why the web link doesn't work some times. She doesn't own any apartments herself but helps locals by translating into English. Tell her what you want and she'll fix you up. Her standards are way higher then mine cause we spend a couple hours looking at apartments one day and she kept saying they weren't good enough but looked fine to me. She only deals in cash (reals) but there are plenty of ATMs around. She'll ask for a security deposit (cash--I give US$), give you a receipt and then actually give you the exact money back when you leave. You'll sign a contract so everything is legit. I've used her about 10 times and never had any problems and always got my deposit back. Enjoy.

i think it depends on the of niteroi you want to stay at. are you going downtown niteroi or do you want to be by the beach? i hear the the beach side apartments can get to be pretty expensive. im guessing that apartments downtown niteroi probably cost a few hundred reias PLUS another hundred or 2 for landscaping/security guard/parking garage. i plan on moving to niteroi myself in a few years.

If you are looking for a longer term rental, and if you speak portuguese, the best option for you will be the classifieds of a local newspaper: http://odia.terra.com.br/classificados/ here you will be able to find short term rentals as well and way cheaper than in specific tourist websites. If you are looking for a short term rental, try http://www.ez-riorentals.com/?gclid=CJ29vdSAvJwCFZkA4wodAG1SnQ The prices and availability will depend a lot on the season.

Depends on how old your cousin is as to whether the cousin can apply for a student visa or not. Student visas are not available to go to elementary or middle school, and can't be used to attend public high school for more than a year. Take a look at travel.state.gov for more information on student visas.
2 :
They need to apply for either an M-1 or an F-1 student visa. You can do that at the U.S. Dept. of Immigration's website

What country should I go to for my student exchange?
What country should I go to for my student exchange?
I can't decide what country I should go to for my youth exchange. Sweden, Switzerland, Finland & Estonia, Gremany, Turkey, Brazil, Japan, India, and France are my choices. My parents don't want me going to Japan, India, or Turkey. I have to decide on my top 3 by January 30. Please Help. By the way I'm 15.

FRANCE, Switzerland, Brazil, Germany :)
2 :
Maybe because Japan, India and Turkey are in Asia. I agree with your parents, go with one of the European countries, i'm thinking Germany because Germany has the most borders and you can just walk to another country. Germany, Sweden or Finland should be your top 3.
3 :
I'd say Estonia.
4 :
Out of all of these countries I've been to Germany, France, Sweden, Finland and Switzerland. Taking into account your parents don't want you to travel as far away as Asia my top three would be: 1.) Germany (Lots of fun for a student and plenty of great cities and sights to see) 2.) Switzerland (my favourite country in Europe) 3.) Sweden (if it's Stockholm, you should probably love it, amazing and beautiful city) I lived in Bordeaux France for 15 months and loved the city and the country, but living there was quite difficult. Knowing what I know now I wouldn't live there again.
5 :
Any one of these would be a great experience for you. What are your interests and exactly when would you be going? I can highly recommend Sweden, Germany and France but certainly wouldn't criticize any other combination. I've been to all of the European countries you listed (and live in Italy) and enjoy each one.

Why foreigners, in Brazil, like so much this place?
Why foreigners, in Brazil, like so much this place?
I'm Brazilian and I´ve had in contact with foreigners for years. I've never gone outside Brazil, but, as this country is very diverse, I know good and bad locals here. And almost every place I found is bad. Good things are beaches, food, natural beauty. But bad things are much bigger: rampant violence, widespread poverty, even near wealthy areas, uneasy and regressive tax system, enormous corruption, drug traffic, police brutality, outrageous politically-correct hidden racism and lots of other terrible things. Then, why foreigners like this country so much. I´ve known an austrian student in exchange program that abandoned the college to stay here one year more. Then, when his parents came here to "rescue" them, they bought an apartment in São Paulo. Another guy, from New Zealand, transferred his doctorate program to a Brazilian College to stay here. I met americans living here in a lot of places. I go to travel guides and, almost always, the comments are highly positive, without taking any count in obvious problems like crime, robbery and violence. Why do this occur?

Maybe you see something we don't. I've never lived in Brazil, but I have been there. I would love to live there! Yes, Brazil has crime, but in the U.S.A (where I'm from) we have crime to. We have riots, we have gang fights, we have drug dealers, we have racism, etc.... Its not just Brazil. The U.S. is in a War right now, a war that has split us down the middle. One half of us want the war to stop and the other to continue. When I went to Brazil, the people were very friendly towards me. Maybe it was because I was American and maybe they where just friendly (I like to think they were just friendly). Brazil isn't the worst place in the world nor is it the best. But its better than most. And I think when you live somewhere for so long you just want to get away for a bit and see new places. Take me for instance, I love Brazil I have studied about it for a little over two years. I know about its history, its geography, it economy, etc.. I love the beautiful girls, the food, the music, the care free attitude. Its just different from America. In America we live for tomorrow and not for right now. We are so busy trying to save for our retirement that we lose track of time and over work ourselves. Now don't get me wrong I love America, and I would fight and die for this country. But to many of us don't take the time to "stop and smell the roses." As I said maybe you see something different, but when I go to Brazil I see a place that is finally coming into its own, finally becoming a Superpower, and finally being recognized by the world.

Well, maybe it's because you live there, I live in HCMC and I hate it (traffic, pollute, the people,...) and still, foreigners love it. But sometimes, when I go to the centre, where the tourists visit first, I fell in love with the city, everything seems like the best. Every country has bad points but travelers usually focus on good things and the differences that their countries don't have, I think. And when somebody travel, they usually focus on the cultural side of the place, not all the issues.

I am gonna say this very simple I might get bad feed back for it but alot of it has to do with your women their soo beautiful and curvy to perfection, then the other part of it has to do with the beautiful beaches and landscape a country like Brasil offers, then last the price of living isn't as much as say europe or the UK or USA. I think it makes scense.
