Our first stop back into Brazil was Curitiba (It's pronounced Curichiba), one the greenest cities in the world. The city boasts some pretty spectacular statistics: 51 square acres of green space per inhabitant, 70% of their waste is recycled, and a super efficient transit system.
We got to experience part of the transit system by taking advantage of their jump on/jump off tourist bus. It took us to all the major sights and parks. Some of the smaller parks are dedicated to the immigrants of the city.
The Oscar Niemeyer museum, aptly named after the architect, was much bigger and emptier than we thought. Inside the museum are exhibitions mostly of modern art but it's the building itself that is the main attraction. After all, it is a giant eye (but you can't see out of it).
