  • Brazil -
    “Brazil! La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La!”, okay I’m sorry but those lyrics really are the first thing that I think of when I hear the name Brazil. A large part of my childhood involved parties wherein this song would be played. My mind is still humming the lyrics. But but Brazil is best known not just for the Venga Boys hit song but for the football stars it has produced. Also, for Amazon, not prime but THE forest and river as well as one of the 7 wonders of the world! Quite the popular vacation destination, there’s a lot more to learn about Brazil.
