My class activity is on the Country of Brazil in the South American Continent. It's Continent is bordered with the S. Atlantic Ocean and the S. Pacific ocean. South America has a total of 12 Countries and Brazil is not only the largest one, but it is also the 5th largest in the country by geographical area(3,287,597 sq miles) and total population. It's September estimate of this year was a total of 193,525,000 people, ahead of that is Indonesia then United States.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population) Out of it's neighboring latin american Countries, it is the only country that speaks the Portuguese-language, even the only country that speaks that language in the U.S.
According to the World Bank, Brazil is the eighth largest GDP capita in the world with a total of 1,571,979 US dollars.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal) What fasinates me the most about Brazil is it's climate. The country is so large that it has five different kinds of climate throughout the Country. It's climates range from equatorial to , subtropical, semiarid, temperate, and highland tropical.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil#Climate) As you can see it is mostly tropical weather, that's where I need to be let's say for the, ohhhhhh, seven months.
