It results in low quality education, somehow even if you are paying what you would pay for private education in Manhattan!

In my language class the other day I got a lesson on the prison system here... what a nightmare. <br /><br />Anyway, I ended up in Brazil because I have a passport (my dad is Brazilian) and because I had some free time and wanted to learn a language.<br /><br />Thanks for giving my blog a read!
