Since I was educated before the US public school system was totally ruined by the Teacher's Union, I knew that Brasilia was the capital. I always thought that was an amazing story how they just went into the interior, picked a spot, planned the layout, and built a city from scratch, all at once. Bang.
P.S. I've always wanted to see Rio.
