Um site bem gringo com uma discussão interessante sobre o porquê do Brasil ser uma merda. Vale a pena dar uma olhada a primeira página é um pouco estereotipada. O prêmio vai para quem conseguir explicar porque chamavam esse gringo de morsa :hihi:

http://www.gringoes.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17615&PN=1&title=top-reasons-i-hate-living-in-brazil
na página 3 mas as proposta do porquê aqui seria uma merda está na 1


Citação de: gringo
Tremble was spelled correctly, however "crumby" should have been crummy. 

Assuming arguendo (lawyer talk for assuming for the sake of argument), that Brasil has all of these alleged annoyances, there is something indescribable that keeps us all here.  Yes, there are some cultural mannerisms that can be unpleasant, and yes, things do take longer to process, and yes, things are more expensive (I have agonizing saudades for my Ralph Lauren Polo outlet in the U.S.). 

However, the language is very pleasant to hear daily, and there is much more beyond rice and beans.  Brasil has wonderful diversity, and 26 states chock full of new experiences (and exotic animals).

Since I am a lawyer from the U.S., can I be called Doutor?  I might enjoy that.

Maybe I have been called "boy" in some stores, which I much prefer over senhor. 

What confuses me, is when I hear "morsa."

Doesn't that mean walrus?

Posso dizer como argentino que 80% das coisas que diz se aplicam a Argentina, e imagino que se aplicam a America do Sul também.

Já tinha visto. Lembro que achei muita ousadia um americano reclamar que nossa cerveja é aguada. :)
