holy crap! That's a pretty big city. Maybe I won't go there.... hehehe.... don't like going to big cities anymore except when I have to fly to San Francisco.
is there any cool small places near the beach that you would recommend?Comment

The Airport of Viracopos is in Campinas, a city near São Paulo. I was born in São Paulo and lived there till June 2003, when I married and moved to Fortaleza... far away from São Paulo and Joinville.Comment

Jer, how are computer prices down there?
I have to get my mother in law a computer (she's here right now but going back to Rio soon) and should I get one here for her to bring back or are there online Brazillian places with good deals?
Where do you get your gear through?Comment

If you buy a computer there for her she'll have to pay 60% customs tax on it.
It's not funny

wow is the tax on stuff under 500 bucks? Or any price?Comment

I'm not 100% sure, but I think she can bring $500 worth of stuff with her without paying any tax. She'll need to bring the invoice(s).Originally posted by MattO

cool that might work... I could put together a decent tower for under 500 (it's just for email and shit)
then she could pick up a monitor there or I could ship one laterComment

17" flat screen CRT monitor costs around US$215.Comment
