A bottle of 51 might cost R$5--a little less than $3. The cheapest liter of vodka in the USA would cost some $9, three times as much. Fine lumber is cheaper in Brazil, as are limes and bananas. Chuchu is free, kind of like pecans in Texas. Bricks and ceramic tiles of all sorts are much cheaper in Brazil, as is the labor of the bricklayer or stonemason. Cachaça is the best deal by far.

I was in shock to find out that a metro ride in Rio is more money than in Paris. It is crazy but for now Rio is worth every penny. Rio is very expensive!!!

You know the iPad? It would cost around R$1100.00 reais (taxes included) to have one. I bet when it arrives here in Brazil, the iPad will cost no less than R$3000.00 I presume.
