Letters - January 96


Ready to surf

I was very happy about the article "Catch-up Time" published in the December issue. There were some cool Internet addresses. I passed this information to my Brazilian professor who teaches Information System classes at the Golden Gate University and we are looking forward to surf the Net. Thank you. I would like to add that I agree with reader Katie Orr. I simply don't like small print on a black background. I can't read. Merry Christmas and keep up the good work.

Scary thought

Yes, I read about the "impressive" knowledge the CIA has of Brazil (Rapidinhas December 95). Capital: Rio de Janeiro, pictures of Buenos Aires. Yeah well, the way I see it, it could be a lot worse. Just imagine, all you out there who love Brazil, if one day you found out they were familiar with terms like "orixá", "axé", Zumbi. Isn't that thought frightening? Please print my address. I'd love to hear from others who feel about Brazil as I do.

One more year

I've been enjoying your great magazine for three years now and would like to subscribe to my fourth year. I'd like to see a chat-room like part where we could communicate with other Brazilians through your magazine. In your November issue there is a letter about questions that are not answered and there are times when I would like to communicate with some of the people who write to you and I can't since there aren't any addresses to write to. Keep up your wonderful job and do not raise your price. Although people think it's cheap, it's because of the price that a lot of us subscribe.

Only the best

I love your magazine. You are the best source of information about contemporary life in Brazil, perhaps better than anything in Brazil as well. Your articles about racism and Afro-Brazilians have been particularly appreciated. Keep up the good work.

Spreading Brazil

It is nice to know that there are people (outside of Brazil) working to divulge the Brazilian culture in the US and in other countries. I can't wait to receive my first issue.

Open to all

I am from Recife, Pernambuco (Brazil) and I am living in Eugene, Oregon (USA) temporarily. I was very glad to find out, just recently, about your magazine on the Internet. This is a fast and easy way to be informed about my country. Thank you!

I also was surprised about the fact that readers can write too. It's a great idea. But, how does it work? I mean, can we write about anything that has to do with Brazil? I hope to find the answers on the December issue.

All, but my magazine

Please, make the change of address as soon as possible so I can receive my magazine at my new place. I missed last month's issue and I cannot survive without it.

How do you write this?

Thank you very much for the excellent August 95 issue. I am especially grateful for Wilson Velloso's Idiom Idiots. There was a "reform" right after I left Brazil in `73. I lost count of those "reforms" our language has gone through which so often makes me question my ability to write in my mother tongue. Thank you very much for such a down to earth and entertaining publication. Keep up the good work.

Be our guest

I am excited to discover the existence of this publication, from links explored from my own Web page, which has many Brazilian links. With your permission, I will advertise the link to it as follows: http://www.earthlink.net/brazzil - A monthly online magazine about Brazil. Very inexpensive mail subscription available also. Do many people think your Web address URL has a typographical error because of the double z? I will mail my $3 today and maybe add some gift subscriptions for friends.

Prosit!

Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thank you for all your wonderful issues during this year and wishing all the best for 1996.

Vive la différence

Sua revista é bem diferente dos pasquins brasileiros que recebo em restaurantes brasileiros. Acho que o caminho é este e espero que vocês possam conseguir crescer e adicionar cada vez mais artigos de interesse daqueles, brasileiros ou não, que tenham um motivo para saber das notícias do Brasil. Por isto estou enviando pagamento da assinatura, que é excessivamente barata. Parabéns e contem comigo, se precisarem, quem sabe, de informações para a revista.

Nothing is missing

Li a "short story" o Casarão Amarelo e gostei muito da história, mas na sua homepage só há uma parte. Como é que isso funciona? Eu tenho que comprar o artigo?

Leandro Duarte - On the Internet


We will size it up

Gostaria de mais informações a respeito de como fazer para submeter um artigo para publicação em sua revista. No homepage da Web está escrito que a extensão das matérias varia de 800 a 4,000 palavras "depending on the subject." Qual seria o tamanho máximo para um artigo sobre política no Brasil? Aproveito para dizer que achei sua revista super-excelente.
