I have to say William, you seem to truly be an expert on Brazil matters. If you ever leave this forum please warn all of us. I definitely will need to contact you when I finally return to Brazil permanently. Thanks for all the advice you give! ;) Read More
Any English speaking expats in Macaé or Rio dos Ostras - RJ by James
Hi, I am planning on moving from São Paulo to Macaé - RJ sometime in the middle of 2012. My wife is Macaense and wants to be closer to her family. Although I have been to Macaé several times I really don't know anyone outside the family and would ...
Definitely appreciated William! Hey, let me ask you a question. I was only in Macaé once and didn't have time to go to the beach. Would you say it's comparable to Rio das Ostras? I'm trying to weigh whether to stay in Rio das Ostras when I return or ... Read More

Apologies for the SUPER delayed response Wayne. For some reason, i was missing the email notices for this blog (also started a new job and have been extremely busy). I still plan on teaching English when I return but as i said, I want to do it as ... Read More

It's nice to see we all agree on the bad tasting pizza in Brasil (lol). I lived for years in the Ironbound, Newark area ... home to many Brazilians & Portuguese. Even though there's "good" pizza places all around in NJ, in Newark it's the same thing ... Read More

No kidding? I'll have to tell my family. They all live around here (yes, I'm here in Swedesboro now). I lived in North Jersey ever since I graduated college. Moved here to be closer to family before I finally move to Brazil. My goodness, I LOVE ... Read More

Speaking of always rushing... I have to leave now but will respond further at a later time. I just had to write back b/c you made me laugh out loud with that pizza statement. Yes, the first thing I noticed when I came to Brazil is that a "REAL PIZZA ... Read More

Actually that's one of the reasons I'm so anxious to move back there. When i lived in Brazil, one of the best things was the "moving slow" aspect. I got to really just enjoy life without running around like a madman. Here in the states, there's ... Read More
