South is indeed better. I used to live there dammit:P
Jokes aside, the south does have better standard living rates that southeast but this has nothing to do with my point. I'm talking about the culture of the people. And to make it clear: i wanted to mention Rio de Janeiro, the city, not the state as a whole.
This will probably sound harsh, but Rio de Janeiro is mostly like a shame to Brazil (at least to those of us who used to live in the south and parts of the southeast): excess of violence, bribe, too much "jeitinho brasileiro" (brazilian workaround) and lots of other despisable things. Of course, not everyone there is like that and there are problems like these on other parts of the country. But RJ is just worse.
Things are changing, though, to the better:)
