"BORINGSILIA" Brasília by martinelli

Brasília Travel Guide: 95 reviews and 210 photos

Before anything,

BRASILIA IS THE CAPITOL OF BRAZIL, NOT RIO!

*ahem*

Well. You're gonna have to excuse me on this one, but I simply don't like Brasilia. Therefore instead of being a grumpy old lady I'll just tell you about the (few) things I like around there.

:)

ps:: the picture above shows one of the two things I life in Brasilia - the sky. I think God wanted to make it up to this city, artificially constructed in the middle of absolutely nothing and with a dry and deadly weather

I just visited Brasilia and actually liked the city. Maybe because I know some people there. I can imagine it will be a very lonely place with no friends....

You have been 'rated' and not 'hated'. Interesting look at your capital. Too many of the modern 'new' capitals do seem a bit contrived.

Love your Brasilia page, Marina. But I have to disagree on one point, with regard to the stealing at your Congress. OUR (the US) politicians are the best that MONEY CAN BUY. Love from Florida.

The Brazilian Canberra. This is the first time I've heard you criticize Brasil, Mart - what would Oscar Niemeyer Soares Filho think? Do you need to change your political comments now that Lula is in charge?
