You forgot the soccer :-)
Brazil is a continental country so we have many differences between the regions.
In the North is the Amazon rainforest where the climate is hot and humid.

In the Northeast are the most beautiful beaches in Brazil, the weather is hot all year round
If you like beaches, you must go there :-)

The southeast is the most industrialized region and where are the most known cities: Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
São Paulo has the most of IT Companies, but some of them are coming to Curitiba because we are not far from São Paulo, the quality of life is better and the labor is cheaper.
I remember now ExxonMobil and GLT (HSBC). Other local companies are specializing in outsourcing.
In the South the weather is cold on the winter. The region was populated by immigrants mainly from Japan and Europe.
Curitiba has strong influence of the Japaneses, Italians, Germans, Poles, and Ukrainians immigrants.
