Friendly warning from Brazil...

So if you're a pilot and thus reasonably employable, why are you still living in Brazil? Do you have a masochistic streak by chance?

Been an expat for 3 years in Asia. I am just waiting the right time (and the right Brazilian dame) to leave for good. I already know where to go. Most of the Airlines here are loosing pilots to Middle-East and China. I do not advise to go to China because my problem there was eating a good meal. Besides I need to buy my own place here before leaving. Yes, I intend to return but as a retired happy old man. Working in Brazil is a lot different than living as retired (with $$$). Regarding the crime rate Brazil hasn't reached the level of worse places like Venezuela but unfortunately I believe that in less than 10 years we'll get there unless there is a big change in politics. One of great places to visit here is definitely Chile. It has a great future. Good food, peaceful. Planning to visit someday. USD is 4 to 1 against Brazilian currency! Imagine going to a Burger King and paying $50 for a Whopper Combo. That is reality for Brazilian tourists in the USA and Europe.

I read that the waters in which the Olympic rowing and other such boating based events will be held is loaded with all manner of nasty things and that in North America and Western Europe such water would be considered raw sewage.
