What do you know about Brazil?<\/p>
Surely you have heard about the bright and colorful carnivals that are held here with great fanfare, have seen iconic Brazilian series like "The Slave Isaura" or "The Clone," and definitely know about the main landmark of Rio de Janeiro—the statue of Christ the Redeemer, which is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. It is the fifth largest country in the world by area, a global leader in coffee exports, and the only country in Latin America where Portuguese is spoken. A multitude of pristine beaches, soccer, capoeira, the Amazon jungles, samba and lambada, the Iguazu Falls, and the vibrant parties of Rio de Janeiro—all of this is Brazil!<\/p>

In this book, she candidly shares the Brazilian love for sports, how Christmas is celebrated in the hottest summer, what religion means to Brazilians, the origins of favelas, whether you can walk around Brazil with a mobile phone in hand, and why eggs are not dyed at Easter here.<\/p>
