Brazil: Getting stuff mailed/FedExed to you:

Hi Folks, Is it straightforward getting things mailed or FedExed to you from the US? I'm thinking especially about supplements and protein bars and stuff like that I don't expect to be able to get in Brazil. Any experience with this? Thanks a lot!

Brazil: How bad is the crime thing, really?:

Folks, I've been watching Brazilian movies to rev up my colloquial Portuguese and this crime situation really looks scary, how bad is it really? Do I need to try to not look like an American no matter where I go, or just in Sao Paulo? Thanks, MaryLee

Brazil: Retiree health insurance - hard to get?l:

Hi, I'm considering retiring early in Brazil. I know there's a public health care system but also people buy health insurance to get better access. My question is whether health insurance easier to get ** for people over 50** than it is in the US (basically, here you can't get it if you're over 50 or have any kind of pre-existing condition unless you want to pay $1000-plus per month). Can anybody help me out with this, or suggest a way to research it? Many thanks, MaryLee
