What is your opinion about Brazil?

Since we seem to be discussing countries in the forum now, I would like to know what people think about this big tropical country down the equator.

Brazil, because of the Olimpic games and the Fifa World Cup, and also given our response to the crisis, is on the news right now, or so it seems to us brazillians. Never before in this country(brazillians will get it...) we heard so much about our country in the media abroad. In the news, magazines, movies, we are all over the place.  So I'm curious to know how the guy perceives Brazil. Later I'll give my view.
