Brazil's main exports are transgender and mulatta wives to Europe.
Brazil has a deep tradition in its soaps, differing from Mexican ones in that the main female character wears a bikini ad nauseum and has sex before marriage with her passing acquaintances, who, by the way, wear Hawaiian shirts with the 4 top buttons opened, instead of possessing a mustache.

PETER ROBB: There's always been a curious division in Latin America between Brazil and the rest of the continent, which is a matter of language and culture and its very different history — the extraordinary importance of slavery in Brazil and so on.
