Random facts about Brazil and Japan

The area of Japan represents about 4.4% of Brazil's, but Brazil has about 200 million people, compared to 127 million in Japan. No wonder everything looks so small. Now, if you take the GDP, Brazil's 2 trillion is less than half of Japan's 4.4 trillion, and that means Brazil's per capita GDP is roughly 10 thousand dollars against Japan's 38 thousand dollars. That's doing more with less.

Brazilian people have their own way of trying to pretend Brazil's the best place to live on this planet. We'll simply take whatever reasons we can find, and then try to mix them up - in our own resourcefull manner - to make it sound like it makes any sense. It doesn't. This might be a surprise, but Japanese people do have a similar way to go around this, but I'll grant this: most of what they argue is actually true.

Such huge differences couldn't keep these countries from having corny bands (brega). And I love them:

Straight from Brazil...
