What do you know about Brazil?

Hey dude. Im so lazy im just gunna copy and paste the answer i just wrote few minutes ago to a question similar to yours. ("Do you like Brazil?")

********
Eu te amo Brasil!

Check my profile if you wanna know how much i love Brasil. I grew up there (Recife) and the people their are really nice. Nice in a way that they treat you as if you're a Brazilian yourself. As if your skin colour doesn't matter. Not sure for a white person (im asian) but sure i assume they'd be nice ta ya too. They're genuinely relaxed and friendly.

Churrasco (barbecue) tastes good, the beaches are incomparably beautiful, the exotic air of mixed culture of Africanism, Europeanism, old churches and architectures, Catholicism, Bossa Nova, Garotas (girls) with tiny bikinis, friendly everyday people, caipirinha (Brazialian cocktail) etc. Plenty to love and love is in the air. But word of caution: it was a dangerous place at least from my recollection of 6 years worth of stay two decades ago. Don't be wearing stuff that stand out as Gringos or a rich person. And don't ever dare to go near to the favelas (slums). Gangs there are so hardcore even the policemen won't budge to step their foot in cos the gangs are armed with machine guns and even ground-to-air bazookas. Check the Brazilian movies such as City of God or Pixote and perhaps Central do Brasil (this is more nostalgic and mellow though. the 2nd one is pretty hardcore; you'll notice the terrible side of Brazil as well)

On a lighter note, don't give them the conventional westeners' "OK" sign (where you connect ur index finger to ya thumb and make a circle) cos that means "tomar no cu" in Brazil, which means "take it in your cornhole" ;) The Brasilian way is to give a "thumb up" sign if you wanna thank or assure them ur OK.

Boa sorte (good luck) my friend.

PS: I've been in AUS for couple of years. No offense intended but Latin culture is so much more exciting and aphrodisiac. Chaotic though ;)

De nada meu amigo e muito prazer por seu cumprimento. Eu vi na web Goi芒nia e eu acho que seu cidade aparece muito lindo especialmente na noite! Um grande abra莽o pra voce tambem! Valeu! Report It

Pele.and others great football player

Brazil is a big country, full of beautiful girls and friendly people, great beaches and lot of sun.

Quite a bit - having lived there for several months. I picked up the language, I love the music (from MPB to samba to rock), the food (from rice and beans to churrascarias), the futebol (ah, the beautiful game), the people are amazing (I have friends who I consider family), the scenery (Iguacu to Rio to the Pantanal to the beaches), the art and architecture. Brasil is an amazing place and I look forward to returning.
