transport





In Brazil there are different ways of transportation: taxis, airplanes, ships, trains and buses. These ways are used depending of the situations outside and inside the country. Brazil has a lot of airports, but the most important is the one how is located in Sao Pablo. Due to it's huge size, Brazil has created one of the best national ways of transportation, by air.
There the taxi service is too expensive, y that is why in Rio de Janeiro people prefer bus services, because it is very cheap.
They also use boats and the most important port is located in Rios de Janeiro.

There are rail connections between the most important cities, but the train service has

declined due to the long duration of the trips in comparison to the trip durations of other ways of transportation.
When we compare the transport systems between Brazil and India, we can say that there are a lot of similarities. one difference between Bazil's transport systems and colombian transport systems is the train, because it is not used in Colombia.

SAO PABLO´S EDUCATION SYSTEM




The education system in Brazil has public institutions (federal, state and municipal) and private establishments. That is divided into three sectors: primary, secundary and high-school.

As we look more generally, we find that public education is free at all levels, apart from compulsory for children between 7 to 14 years, something that helps and motivates the development of this country, from the most important people who are going to be the future of this country, children. But that's not all because in Brazil there are at least one public university known as the federal University in each state of the federation. To which, upon entering the candidates have to submit a review of access, called "vestibular", which is very important because the universities that there are were not enough, and with the help of these are stocked the great demand for higher education in the country .

Colombia also has public and private educational institutions, for which, anyone who wants to study must also provide a small amount of money, removing the opportunity for education to those who do not have that possibility, because it is the food of the family before and more important than study.
In addition to this, it should be noted that in Colombia, are currently looking for the privatization of universities to avoid inconvenience to public order as are the protests, which started being peaceful, and the same public order, which only leads to fights end in accidents or fatal consequences. Besides that this idea is not possible to acquire the whole of society, leading to many students who have withdrawn, and thus increase the number of illiterates in the country and the degree of underdevelopment of it. Because in order to grow as a country, is growing in technology, but on the degree of knowledge and values of society, which is going to move forward into a future in this country.

TRANSPORT IN MEDELLIN VS TRANSPORT IN SAO PABLO



The transport in Medellin- Colombia is very different WITH Sao Pablo, because the easier and most useful transport medium is taxi, but every ones have to go with time because they can be atrapt in a traffic jam. And If we notice the easier transport in Medellin is metro, because3 it has an specific way that is different than the other ways, so it can go faster that the other cars. But it is used for a bigger number of people than the taxis in Sao Pablo, with only can be transport 4 people maximum.
Although that is not the only way to transport in Sao Pablo, because all the busy employee and employer, can go to their home, by the air in helicopter, that helps them to return faster to their home. Than in Medellin, because there helicopter only can be used by the military´s people, so the people have to be in traffic jams, or have to walk because never it type of transport can be used by them in this country.
But everything is not always different because, in Sao Pablo; as soon as in Medellin, one of ther most useful transport type is walk, because, everyone can use it, because it is free, and it can be healthy for everyone, and it prevent hearths attack, in a future, and it can be an interesting tourist way too.

TAMBA-TAYÁ

Tamba-Taya is a Brazilian legend, which tells the story of an Indian Amasonico Tupi, who after the death of his beloved wife, was introduced to the body to be that of love, inside the Amazon jungle, on the site more unseen, more desolate, Far from around the world. He was buried alive clung to her, so stay forever, with his great love. In the tomb reads the legend grew the tree Tamba Taya whose leaves are the union of two sheets, one bigger and one smaller, along with the first. This is the unhappy couple united in an eternal embrace of life, sublime symbol of love.


La Llorona is a legend in Colombia, which tells the story of a young peasant woman, who work in a house used as a service, who got pregnant from her employer, she was dismissed, so it was returned to the field with their parents who reproached their state of pregnancy, leading to hopelessness and one night ran to the river and giving birth to her son threw it to power; when she realized of his mistake, ran behind the child screaming and crying.

Those who have seen it describe it as a woman with reddish eyes and tears by the cadaverous face. Bring a baby in his arms. At night scares in the streams, ponds and puddles with their cries and screams wrenching and macabre to drunken and unfaithful husbands.
