A typical home

This is a standard home in Brazil. It is better than most in some ways, but not as nice as most people would like to live in. The fact that it has a garage with a gate indicates that the people who live here might have a car. They also have electricity and water (notice the blue "water box" on the roof). A house this size would likely be the home to eight to twelve people. If things are going well for them there is a gas stove and a refidgerator inside. They would almost certainly have a TV and a radio, but anything else is iffy. A home like this one likely has one toilet.

The greatest thing about this is that the people who live here are like quite content, unlike their conterparts in North America...
