United Kingdom Brazilians feel the magnetism of his country
London parties have a large concentration of inhabitants born in Brazil.
If you are a Brazilian who lives in United Kingdom, surely it wasn't back in the climate and is not to be due to high prices of properties.
Officially, there are about 50,000 Brazilians residing in United Kingdom, although some say that the figure could be four times greater.
In general, moved when the economy was very hard in his homeland, defying the inhospitable climate in search of better employment prospects.
But now that Brazil beat United Kingdom as the world's sixth economy, many are feeling nostalgia.
In the area of Willesden Junction, in West London, Brazilian businesses are flourishing. But it gives the impression that all are planning to return or know someone that is going.
Antonio light is considering returning to Brazil.One of them is Antonio light, 44 years, working in a butcher shop that sells Brazilian cuts of British meat.
Six years ago he became United Kingdom of his native city of Goiania, but he dreams of being your own boss on their land.
"I think that I'll be two years more and being a little shop or a restaurant in Brazil," he said.
Light is not the only one that pays attention to the most recent changes in the global balance of economic power.
It is likely that the last fall of United Kingdom in recession lasts little, but the International Monetary Fund considers that this year the country's economy will grow just 0.8%.
In contrast, expected Brazil a healthier growth of 3%.
Brazilians in Willesden can easily find stores to suit their tastes."I hear many people say 'back to Brazil' because there are many employment opportunities beyond and an economic crisis in the European Union", says Simone Pereira, Secretary of the local Brazilian Association Press, open.
But the Brazilians keep coming to England, particularly in other countries such as Portugal and Spain, where the economy is worse off.
The Association works for which Pereira was the first of its kind in United Kingdom when it was created in 2006.
It now represents 7,000 families who pay US$ 80 per year to benefit from its services, including legal advice, help with several types of British bureaucracy and even psychological counseling.
His work keeps it in tune with current trends in the Brazilian community, and she has also seen people return to their country in search of a better life.
More recently, a friend of his from the southern city of Florianopolis, who spent 13 years in United Kingdom with his own business of painting and decorating, decided to return to Brazil.
"Came with his wife and two children, not knowing a word of English," he says.
"But now his daughter lives in Brazil and going to College, and he thought that things would be better than".
Open offers support services for Brazilians in United Kingdom.Now, while the Brazil economy may be growing, the cost of living also.
According to the IMF, the Outlook for inflation in prices to the consumer in United Kingdom will be 2.4% for everything 2012. But in Brazil, will reach 5.2%, and rarely has been lower in the last decade.
Of course, it isn't as bad as annual inflation of 2,000 to 3,000% that plagued Brazil between the decades of 1980s and 1990s.
Yet it is still sufficient to give expatriates Brazilians what to think before say goodbye to life in United Kingdom.
"I was in Sao Paulo in December and they really surprised me prices," Pereira says. "Things were quite expensive."
That includes the prices of houses and apartments, which have sharply increased over the past five years.
Capital Economics consulting firm said that although it is difficult to tell with detailed figures, the available evidence suggests that the prices of residential properties have risen to more than double in Sao Paulo since 2008 and almost tripled in Rio de Janeiro.
The magnitude of those increments can be shocked to the Brazilians who have been living in United Kingdom at that time.
For example, a woman who thinks moving back to Sao Paulo after six years in London said that high prices of property in United Kingdom are one of the reasons for his return.
For her, the last drop that spilled the glass was to discover that a two bedroom apartment in the area who chose London would cost US$ 484,000.
"For the money", argues, "could buy me a House with four bedrooms in Alphaville", a residential community of luxury in the great São Paulo.
Maybe it is disappointing. Judging by the advertising of real estate agents on the internet, only the smaller apartments in that area would be at your fingertips.
And while prices of the British properties seem to be stagnant today, the price of houses in Brazil bubble continues to grow.
"Our best guess is that property in Brazil is, on average, 30% to 50% overvalued", says Neil Shearing, at Capital Economics.
Each Brazilian community abroad has its stores that sell classic products of Brazil.Other countries with large concentrations of Brazilian residents have seen a similar exodus.
In particular, many Brazilians of Japanese origin who moved to the country of their ancestors in the 1990s have returned.
Since 2008, the number of japoneses-brasileños living in Japan has fallen from 300,000 to 210,000.
But in West London, at least there newly arrived from Brazil in search of economic opportunities.
In the shop Emporium Brazil offices of open, Lorraine - a student that takes only four months in United Kingdom - attends to the public after the counter.
There sells things like slippers and bottles of soft drinks flavored with Guarana, along with fruits and vegetables. "As if you were there!", proclaims a notice on Portuguese placed at the door.
She admits that working on a Brazilian store not aid precisely in their efforts to learn English. "But not all customers are Brazilian;" "there are also many English," adds.
Lorena is following the classic pattern of many Brazilians who arrived in United Kingdom. But today, as it explains Pereira in open, not all Brazilians that one finds in London are resident.
"In the past, all Brazilians here were studying or working," he said.
"But in the last four or five years, there are more tourists." "Many Brazilians come to Britain for tourism, because enough them money for more than before".
So it seems that United Kingdom will continue to be a popular destination for Brazilians in the future; Although it may only come visit, not to stay.
