Honestly I think it's just the sense of something different and exotic. Sometimes one gets a little too used to what people look like where they live so someone that looks different stands out and seems more interesting.Ivo wrote: 2. Women from Brazil aren't automatically good looking. Like in pretty much any other country, there is a statistical distribution. It may even be that on average Brazil fares better than many other countries (e.g. having a better average and/or a higher tail on the "good-looking" side) for whatever reason*.

If you ever visit Athens you will see where I'm coming from about the public transportIvo wrote:Two comments (some of which with intentional puns):
1. I vastly prefer light rail / train (unless the trains are really degraded / unsafe for technical or other reasons). The example given that when entering the car going home you already relax is a bit paradoxical to me, as you are still going to drive (in contrast I would get in the train, sit down if there is a free seat, and pull out a handheld or e-reader).
* Possibly the result of all the mixing between genes from Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas?
I tend to be a calm driver when in traffic, and as long as I have heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer I don't care.
Actually I think it's that mixing of genes that creates beauty. I always found the more mixed populations prettier.
