Brazil needs education more than anything else.
[QUOTE=Bubba Boy;1152672]I agree that some Americans have a poor knowledge of Geography compared to Europeans, but only some. Having said this all less educated Brazilians that I know have zero knowledge of Geography. Most of the girls that I know are from Zona Norte and further up into the baixada, very poor areas. Not one of them knows anything about the rest of the world unless they have worked in Europe. Most think Miami is a country near the USA. It is that bad.[/QUOTE]I was flirting with a girl selling fruits on the street in Terésina. She asked where I came from. I told her and also explained that it's in Europe. She was quiet for a while and then asked how many hours it takes going by bus to Brazil.
Another girl also asked where I came from. I told her, and she thought my country was a state in the southern part of Brazil.
