New luxury train: The Great Brazil Express

You know a service is for rich Western tourists when: in a non-English speaking country the name of the service is in English, the website is only in English and prices start at $3,500. Their video-promo has nice imagery but is full of clichés and sounds like a monologue for retards. Welcome to Brazil's first luxury train service: The Great Brazil Express.

The website still lacks information, but we know that its first 7-day tour begins on April 23: from Curitiba (capital of Brazilian state Paraná and largest city in southern Brazil), to Iguazu Falls -- which are apparently vastly larger than the Niagara Falls. The train will travel 40km/hour, has leather couches, televisions, carpets, music and bar, and can take only 22 people at a time -- quite the exclusive ride I guess.

If you have some extra cash and want to treat your grandparents, this would be perfect!
