I´m from Sao Paulo too! Also not that much into soccer, but I do have an emotional connection with Corinthians thanks to my grandfather and my dad. But if you ask me the name of the players, I would only know one or two LOL
I thought your idea for the pavilion is really good! A sugarloaf cable car, the Corcovado... all amazing ideas! Also, I would like a restaurant or two that would showcase brazilian´s wonderful cuisine. Sure, everyone loves a brazilian steakhouse, but there´s so much for than that. The nordestina and nortista cuisines are praised all around the world, I´m sure the people that go after adventurous food in Epcot would love that!
About brazilian politics, well... it´s always been hell, yes! We have witnessed bad government over and over. I just miss the days when we all would hate the same politicians lol This polarization is quite damaging and, honestly, it only serves to put people in misery while the powers that be continue to do whatever they want without consequences.
My parents had a small business during the time the "left party" ruled the country. It was hard for them. I am a government (state) worker in the current government - in fact, I work for an area that´s being constantly put down nowadays - public education. It´s hard for me and my peers too. I wish people would stop being so hateful towards each other and just understand that we all want the same thing - what´s best for our country. As a lesbian, a public worker, a human being and a taxpayer, there are a lot of things that make me sad and anxious, and I don´t lose track of them, but I also don´t let sadness and anxiety rule over me.
I prefer to keep living and doing the things I love, like planning my next Disney trip! Which is why we´re in these boards, so I´ll shut up about politics now.
