soc.culture.brazil
Talking about the people and country of Brazil.
One of the largest Latin American groups: football and carnaval, yes, but also Plano Real economics, MPB and bossa nova threads with real musicological depth, and Portuguese-language humour that survives quotation poorly.
The group ran famous long FAQs on visiting and moving to Brazil, maintained for years by volunteer regulars.
