brasilia has problems as a city . the city was made for half a million
people. now about two million people live in brasilia. the poor people
live in slums outside the city, like in other brazilian cities. it is hot in the
center of brazilia, and there are frees in the new city. there aren't too
many people outside in the streets. some of the streets are very wide.
they are really for cars. it is not easy for people to cross the streets.
brazilia is a very modern capital. it is a beautiful city. it has
everything a city needs. but many people miss the exciting life in rio de
janeiro and often go back there
