Brazil in the Blogosphere

The following are some links to interesting articles relating to Brazil that appeared in blogosphere this past week. They do not necessarily have a bearing on our ministry here--although they might.

If you think of Brazil as a third-world country, a trip to the city of Curitiba might change your mind.

Brazil is a big country, and not all of it is as hot as where we live.  Take São Paulo, for example.

The saga of the Gol crash continues.  It looks like the American pilots will still be prosecuted, but there is at least some admission of guilt on the part of the airline controllers.  In my opinion, the blame lies squarely on the shoulders of a corrupt system that underfunded the whole air traffic control system.

Speaking of corruption, even the Christ the Redeemer statue is not exempt.  Is nothing sacred?
