[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am from Brazil - Rio de Janeiro. Only have been to Sao Paulo once in my life but it is the biggest city in Brazil and its financial/economical capital. If I were you I WOULD NOT move.

Brazillians are great and welcoming and Brazil is a beautiful country. That said, the cost of living is VERY high and that might not be important to you because probably he is being offered a very high salary. The reason really I would not move there is the violence.

You will probably live in a high security closed condominium of houses or condos, have a driver and all that. But it is the kind of place you won't be able to let your child go to the movies alone, have to watch for stranger's car parked outside of you building, can't really walk outside at night, etc.

I am not sure if I am being able to convey really how violent it is. There are no terrorists or anything like that, but you just DO NOT FEEL SAFE and have to always being looking behind your back, being on your toes.

Aside that (if it is something you are somewhat used to or prepared to deal with) it is a great country and your daughter would have an amazing experience. The values are very different and I am sure she would have much more fun as a teen there than here.

I'm not OP, but I have a few questions if you don't mind.

Is it like that in just San Paulo?  Or all Brazilian cities?  My cousin is planning to move to Belo Horizonte (sp?) next month with her husband and I am hoping it's not as violent there.  Have you been there?

If you don't mind, can you also talk more about the culture and childhood/teen experiences.  My cousin's children are 6 and 10.  How is it different there for children?
