I live in Brasília, the beautiful capital of Brazil. My city was planned in detail by people all over the country before being built. One thing that few people know about Brasília, is that the city plan forms the body of an airplane!
Brazil has 130 million inhabitants and Brasília has two million eight hundred thousand inhabitants. We are a happy, lively and welcoming people, with faith in God and who always finds a reason to celebrate! Brazil is well known for football, carnival and the weather, which is always hot! But we are much more than that! Many of the most beautiful beaches in the world are in Brazil, among these, the beaches in Fernando de Nordonha and Rio de Janiero. My city has no beach, but we have many museums, parks, lakes and wonderful architecture! If you visit Brazil, you can not leave out of your list a beach called Areia vermelha (red sand) in João Pessoa, Northeast. Also, Aroe Jari cave in the city of Chapada dos Guimarães, where there are numerous waterfalls in the caves. In addition, the Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) in Rio de Janeiro. Most importantly, of course, in Brasília, the Praça dos Três Poderes (Plaza of the three powers.) From there you can see the main building of the Three Powers: Presidential Palace (Exectutive), National Congress (Legislative) and Supreme Court (Judicial). That's where they create, discuss, and approve each of the laws of the country.
