Brazil is a beautiful country, although it is hard to walk the beaches of Rio without getting robbed at knife-point. The govt. is rife with corruption.
And I find it difficult to take seriously a people who celebrate a supposedly religious holiday (Lent) by walking semi-naked and drunk down the main thoroghfares of the city.

Yngwe Malmsteen is actually from Sweden. I think he considers himself to be a rebel against the welfare state. No, I'm not a heavy metal fan. Maybe somebody who is could enlighten us further.

Same difference. I don't take them very seriously, either...especially during Mardi Gras.
