I lived in Brasil (Rio) for several years when I was very little. I don't remember any monkeys. I do remember the cruzeiro was so devaluated that it cost millions of them to buy popcorn from the street vendors.
Brasil is a great place!
I also remember receiving a wooden pony from a member of the Soviet embassy on my birthday but that's a whole different story.....
>>I thought I'd ask my girlfriend what her thoughts were of Brazil. She said "almost naked people on the beaches". Then she ask why I had asked. I told her about the pirahnas and she said "Are there pirahnas there?". So that's one family and one girlfriend who don't think like those guy's.

>hmmm... not that bad after all, except for the "almost naked people on the beaches" part. Of course, as a guy, I love that <s>, but, it´s sad to have your country remembered by that sort of thing.
