How would you describe your community? (Is it in or near a major city? What is the population? industry? economy?)

I live in a medium city, called Blumenau, located at the Brazil’s south. It has a 309 thousand population, and is next to big cities like Curitiba. The city was founded at 1850 and nowadays has an 0.855 HDI, what is considered high, the city counts with an annual US$3.5 billion GDP, having the textile industry as the main industrial activity. Blumenau remains the german traditions by parties like the Oktoberfest, that is held in the city every year in the month of october, and is the biggest german party of all america.
