what do I really know?

OLAA
so i was once asked by a Brazilian amigo what i knew about Brazil. Not wanting to offend him i didn't really say what i knew. then i thought more about it. What do i really know.. Turns out not much at all! i did write a 13 page essay about it but i forget most of it. so I'm going to say some random things that the Internet told me.
