Well, about time I started participating the forums.
I've always looked for info in here but never posted, I had some hard time figuring SC4 mechanics and have many thanks to here for helping on my knowledge, and since now SimCity is purely online and all about making regions together, I might as well start looking for Origin friends from afar.
I'm from Brazil, so yes really far away on my special tropical paradise (or not so much 'cause I'm not from Rio) kind of difficult finding other Brazilians on international forums, you might think I'm Asian from the picture. Well... I am also Asian, huge Japanese colony in here specially on my city, my name is Ed (well, trully is Eduardo, but since English speakers have a hard time having said it right, everytime I visit the US or the UK I just say I'm Ed), and since I'm Asian, my middle name is Seiji, where my usual username comes from. I'm a marine biologist, kinda weird for people on my area to like this kind of game, 21yo and finally in the middle of the year break, so I'm gonna have a bit more of free time to play my brand new SimCity...
I've bought SimCity about two weeks ago and looked for again in here for info, since A LOT changed and I'm having a hard time figuring it out by myself.
So, greetings from Brazil everyone!
