damn... i wish brazilian customs was like that... they charge 60% over the price and postage... and you would not believe the kind of bureaucratic s**t they make you go through.

any piece of equipment costs here about 3 times the U.S. price... plus we get paid about half of what people get paid in the Us for the same thing...
it´s not easy being a gear slut here...
