"Brasilia for me; it’s a modern city, I lived there so many years ago, spacious roads, organized transportation, security everywhere specially in shopping centers, night bars on weekends are really full of people and nice beer with a really colder glass, people are more friendly , most of tourists enjoy their weather and cheap food and amenities around the city, I like the food markets with several options and organic products, I left Brasilia in the 90s right now it’s much better organized, I have family and lots of friends, this is the place that I will return and retire Questions let me know, thanks," said a member in Brazil.
