I want news from around the world!

[luiz]

I tried that site many years back, and I have to say I wasn't impressed then, or now - I agree with Cheetah. Any other suggestions luiz?

To be honest I'm not impressed by that site either, even though the columnists are supposed to be experts on Brazil many times it seems like they don't know what the're talking about.

But it's hard to find a decent brazilian news site in English.

There are some other links I can think of, none really impressive, but enough to keep informed:

I do

40km away from Santos there is a big whale-shaped rock called "Laje de Santos" that is one of the best known SCUBA points in São Paulo. There is a ship-wrack as well as impressive marine fauna.

Once you get to Santos, look for this address for informations on how to get there: Av. Bartolomeu de Gusmão, 192, Ponta da Praia
Phone number: (13)-3261-3445
That's the administration of the Laje de Santos Marine State Park.
