Cities in Brazil My intention to write this text first is not only to receive a corrections from my grammar, vocabulary, but also to listen from native people if is correct to use inland cities or there are others ways more usual. We call inland cities here in Brazil, cities that are not capital of the state and are not in the littoral, near the ocean, I also don't know how to call abroad cities near the ocean. Coming back to inland cities, they normally are far 100 km from the capital, maybe less. We use kilometers in Brazil that is 1.6 miles. I live in one, where the way of life is completely different, much more calm them a big Capital, my town has 600 thousands of inhabitants, it's near São Paulo capital that has not less than 11 millions of people. Imagine how the life is in a city like this.
