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!

Chris: Actually, that didn't come out like I wanted to -- I've fixed it to be clearer. I still think the voice on the video is awful.

If you fixed it, why is it still there after all this time? Think about the use of the word retard... would you say nigger or jew in your paragraph? It's demeaning to a group of people that does no harm to you.
