http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/18/world/americas/thousands-gather-for-protests-in-brazils-largest-cities.html?hp&_r=0 After reading that in The New York Times, I felt curious about what foreigners think about it. The protests started regarding the increase in Bus Fares, which have been getting way too expensive. Up to now, there is a wide broad of demands and discontent towards the expenses of investing too much money for the next year's World Cup, while Public Transport Efficiency, Education, Health and Sanitation Providing in the Country are very precarious. *Hugs you all.*

Yet another article I found interesting.

I'm from Brazil, all that is happening is amazing, after years of corruption in our faces, we're finally doing something. We see ourselves as a nation that only cares about football (soccer) and now all that is happening is amazing.
Our minimum wage is worth $ 311 U.S., and as compared to our taxes, we paid about $ 543 U.S. for a PS3
The 20 cents were only the trigger for this.

Sorry for the english, google translator
