I don't know how to say this without being offensive but do you honestly feel Brazil offers a better quality of life?

Short answer? Yes.

Long answer? Yes. I come from a family of doctors in Brasil, my parents own a huge cocoa/cattle farm and I grew up studying at the best schools, brand new car every year, traveled all over my country, beach house rentals during summer, etc. I went to Law School and would have had the support to study longer if I wanted to or until I could get one of coveted government jobs for lawyers in my country. Plus I'd never run into anybody accusing me of marrying for the GC, or calling me illegal, or telling me I'm hispanic and don't belong.

So honestly? Even if I didn't have all that support back home and had a "harder" life I think I'd still be better off there. I've always been VERY critical of anybody from my country that said they'd want to live US, or that they'd be willing to come here illegally to live. It's a shame they do, and I can't see why they rather not work harder for their own country than become maids/dish washers in US. I don't see the point. I don't agree with it.

All that being said, I only said yes to coming here 'cus my then fiance didn't want to be supported by his father-in-law while his wife found work (we got married right out of college) and he learned the language and found work as well. He thought me coming to PR was a better choice for him, for us. Life hasn't been easy with the crisis (which hit PR earlier than US) and now he's in the AF and we'll end up living in actual US. It will be better than what we have now, and I support my husband in every way, but there isn't a single day we don't say we're retiring in Brasil or that I wish he had accepted living with my parents for a bit and made our lives in Brasil instead of here.

Plus, brazillians are warm people, the food is fantastic, the climate is wonderful, private health insurance is affordable, public universities are excellent, so why would the life quality be worse? I can be in US and be poor. Don't assume that just 'cus I am brazillian and I moved here means I was poor over there and this is a step up for me.

recipe or it didnt happen!

Take the whole chicken, cut a lemon into 4 pieces, insert in chicken, tie legs and wings, apply McComack Grill Mates garlic and onion season liberally over the entire bird, cook on grille over indirect medium heat. It comes out crisp on the outside, moist on the inside with a hint of lemon flavor. The lemon steams inside the chicken to help keep it moist and add a light flavor.

I think it is a card game. We were forbidden to play cards when I was growing up so I really do not know how it is played or if it is indeed a card game at all.

Thanks for the video, Val !

Good post. Everything you say is true. Yes I admit, when I hear of someone South American marrying, I think hello PR ticket.

Good life here means large or expensive homes and expensive things period. Have you ever been to Canada or Australia? They offer an in-between lifestyle, with very cosmopolitan cities. Both countries have a large number of foreign born citizens, so are very Euro-Asia-centric.

you're giving the chicken a suppository?

wouldn't it be easier to start with a cleaned chicken ready for cooking?
