Brasília is weird in its lack of sidewalks. Sometimes you can't get to the next building without crossing a street or a parking lot.
Also, public transport is awful. Buses don't have air conditioning and the metro comes within 2km of the airport and turns away!
Still, people I know who grew up there say it was great to be able to roam and play freely around the residential areas.
