Goiania-American teen on exchange-tell me about Goiania?

Question

Hi,

I have a teen who may be going on an exchange to Brazil. The program mentions Goiania, Curitiba, and Santa Maria as places they may be sent to.........

Can anyone tell me about these places? (I have looked them up on a map:)

The good, the bad and any interesting things I should know? How do prices compare with the exchange rate of American money?

Answer 1

Curitiba is better than Goiania anda Santa Maria.

The Curitiba weather is similar than USA, we have German culture there.

All the cities are cheap.

All this aren´t tourist cities.
