been here for a week. yes, i have been here for a week now. i'm loving it. The whether is fantastic, the people are unbelievably friendly and the the city definately has a culture that is unique to BA. I hear other people try to compare it to other cities such as "it's like paris, or it's like New York, or "it's a mix between Athens and Paris" etc etc. But i really feel you just need to see BA in it's own light without trying to draw any comparisons. I have just found many great resources on the city for people looking to learn a little more. i found a forum for exacts and some very helpful blogs as well.. i hope this is of help.

take care everyone.
Love Curitiba My husband, kids, and I moved to Curitiba in July of 2006 from USA and will be here for at least 3 years - husband works for EXXON. Have been here 6 months now and we absolutely love it here. You can use your VISA everywhere!!!! The people are by far the best thing in Curitiba. Have made trips to Florinopolis and to Foz Iguacu so far but hope to go to Honey Island soon. My only negative is that we were used to very nice hotels in the US and even though we have been to some very expensive supposedly 5 star hotels, I have not been overly impressed so far.
curitiba It's interesting how we, brazilian, see how you (not brazilian) see our country and our cities. I use to travel too. And i think that the most important thing to do, when we are in a new place, is to keep our eyes open. Open to the difference and open to the nice things...
and and there was never one with 14 angles the rock with 12 was the rock with the most angles around there people say theres one with 13 on the other side of the building but its not realy true its jus broken rock
by the way about the rocks with all the angles the most famous one is the one with 12 angles not to far from the plaza of armas beleive me im peruvian i know
Great Info Hi, Thanks for putting up all this good info. I am planning a trip with my boyfriend at the moment and genuine advice from travellers is great!
Add History I am reading this article in India. I am interested in knowing "Dead woman´s pass", "small ruins on the way and these were explained to us by Aly.", "saw a small ruin terrace on the mountainside "
When reading article if these details were not given it becoms boring. Please add little History so that we can learn and take interest.
Regards.
Thanks Thanks for all the great pictures and info about Curitiba (especially about the Visa Credit cards). My husband and I are planning a trip to Curitiba in October 06 to pick up our son who has been living there for two years serving a Mormon mission, and we appreciate your fun, informative, and interesting blog!
Answer to Annalog Maybe the suburbs is misrepresented, for the same reason, people don't post pictures of trailler parks in US, or the buildings of projects in Chicago, Detroit and other cities where the black people live. Why Anna we don't see pictures of Compton - Ca?? Why??

Thanks! I loved reading your blogs. Thank you for sharing! I just ran across this last entry today. I had the last one bookmarked and never deleted it. Good thing. Anyway, I wish you both all the very best that life has to offer. Thanks again. Take care.

Splendid! Thanks for the inspiration! Even with my lack of experience, I could have given you some advice about packing food, but hey, glad it worked out. Beautiful pictures.
Hi Guys! Sure, we're all waiting to hear more about how you're doing now. Great that you both got jobs. After reading all your blogs we feel that we know you and what's happening in your lives. That's what happens when you share your thoughts and [you might as well say] life, with the world! Take care and hope to hear more.
P.S. I visited many of the places that you did and that's what got me interested in your slant on things.
Well I wonder if anyone ever notices these comments. But we're changing it again, because we both now have jobs. Both of us. And we're starting in ten days' time, and moving into our beautiful flat in beautiful Saltaire, near Leeds.
More will be posted in due course, to round up our post-life changing experience, and round off the Travelblog.... full info
