[edit] Rod Stewart's Concert

To say that Rod Stewart's concert attracted over 3 million people is a demagogy. The thing is, that the show was performed on the new year's eve. And as a tradition, millions of people go to Copacabana for the celebration of the new year (and to see the fireworks). Normally, every year the beach attracts around 2 to 3 million people.

Therefore, it wasn't really Rod Stewart that attracted so many people to the beach (but I am sure that him and his agents would LOVE to believe that ;) --Pinnecco 09:58, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I have changed the language to better represent the true nature of the events. --Gloriamarie 16:22, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Phrasing

"Rio de Janeiro must have truly been breathtaking when the Portuguese arrived hundreds of years ago"

Brouchure Alert!! Please rephrase, this is an encyclopedia.

[edit] Linking

I would like to request the removal of the linking to the website gringoguides.com. I don't really think that a website with statements like these should be linked in this article.

Brazil represents the best of the Latin Dream for the traveller. There's thousands of beaches, good music, it's relatively cheap and the people have a relaxed attitude towards casual sex. What more could you want out of your travels in South America? Okay, Brazil may not be the best destination for the thinking backpacker. Brazilians are so at home in their bodies that few really care to use their head that much. A large portion of the population is uneducated and those that are tend not to trouble themselves much with the existential dilemmas that plague your average Westerner.
