oh you fellow travelers mark here with
Walter's world today we're in Mariana
Brazil for the 10 things they're gonna
shock you about visiting Brazil and I
bet you didn't think you'd see churches
like this in Brazil you thought it was
all just you know beaches and bikinis no
there's so much more to shock you about
Brazil but anyway let's get started with
our list of the 10 things are gonna
shock you okay oh wait here's the first
thing that's gonna shock you and come to
Brazil given the okay sign might get you
punched in the face because the okay
sign here in Brazil is worse than the
middle finger so do not use it I
remember the first time I came to Brazil
and somebody let us go through it go
thanks okay and my friend reached across
the car said what are you doing we're
going to get beat up like when I said
it's okay no no Brazil this is not okay
Brazil you always give the thumbs up
alright so that's the first things gonna
shock you you get punched in the face
for giving the okay simple now the
second thing that might shock you about
Brazil is that's what it this way you
don't mean to bring your modesty when
you come here you will see more skin
here in Brazil than you ever thought you
would when you go to the beach because
it's all about having the smallest
bikini to show the most amount of skin
and there's no fat shaming here that's
why I love this place it is my favorite
country to go to by the way people ask
me Brazil's my favorite and you can't
there's there's no modesty here people
will talk about anything
they'll make jokes about anything you
might say oh that's not political
credenza no they're pretty hilarious
here with all these things but the thing
is the modesty you're gonna see a lot of
skin here and that's one way you can
tell the tourists at the beach tourists
have more stuff covered Brazilians have
less stuff covered at the beach okay I
won't show any pictures of me at the
beach because ninguém at a State no one
deserves that okay but that's the snake
thing that's gonna shock you it's all
the skin you're gonna see and no need to
bring the modesty in your suitcase
alright now the third thing is gonna
shock you when you come here is kind of
the laid-back attitude here look nothing
happens quickly in Brazil you want the
bill hey I need to build quickly this
yeah yeah it's coming yeah it's coming
take your time okay you're gonna get a
bus ticket or a train ticket or
something like that look I think they
actually cut down a whole tree for each
set of train tickets and bus tickets
they print out for you it takes a long
time getting the bill getting to places
on time well on time means I say nine
o'clock
it means ten o'clock and no one's upset
about that so make sure you come here
and realize you're gonna have to chill
out okay and it does shock tourists when
they come here because they expect hey
things are happen quickly now it's all
about the laid-back nature here right
Caleb yes okay so even Caleb knows now
the fourth thing that shocks you this
actually shocked me is if your beer
isn't cold you can send it back in
Brazil you drink you're being Bane
gelato well chilled or beige Eugenia
really really really chilled and if the
beer isn't super cold you can actually
send it back this isn't like in Europe
where it's like a little bit cold or the
US was a kind of cold here you'll see in
the refrigerators where they sell the
beer it'll have the temperature on there
and seriously you might have a little
ice crystal here and there but if it
isn't cold enough you can send it back
okay that kind of shocks people hey my
beers in beige yellow genius send it
back and they're totally okay with that
because I know it's got to be really
cold now the fifth thing they'll shock
you to come here are the mosquitoes look
we're here in the winter of Brazil I
mean obviously obviously winter I'm and
t-shirts and stuff like that and we
haven't a toonie mosquito problems but
I've been in Brazil during mosquito
season and I had my bracelet with the
with the anti mosquito stuff Oh miss
mosquito spray notice the boys are all
covered up from mosquitoes just in case
spray like that and literally I remember
in the Pantanal I would see where might
where my spray stopped working because
there was like a shield of mosquitoes
there so the mosquitoes can be really
really bad especially so when you're
coming in the summer make sure you bring
your deep you know what your bug spray
with DEET and your your wristbands that
fight off bug stuff because you really
need that here even the Brazilians to
tell you the penny long juice that's
mosquitoes can't get you and there's
ones that are a hell of a lot tougher
than they have in the US and Europe that
I'll really get you so you will be
shocked about how crazy mosquitoes can
be when you come here in the summer
okay now the sixth thing that might
literally shock you are the electric
showers here in Brazil you might be
going to like a Posada kinda like a
bed-and-breakfast smaller hotel kind of
thing or staying at someone's house and
using while they're there their showers
or maybe you're in the Pantanal or
Amazonas and you'll be taking a shower
and you'll look up
and you'll see on your metal showerhead
or something like that there's some
wires electrical wires going into the
wall or better yet going into a plug
you're thinking wait I'm gonna turn the
water on why it's connected electricity
yes they have electric showers here is
it everywhere probably if you're at a
hotel you won't see it so much but
you're gonna do some of that adventure
tourism getting out and seeing the
beauty of Brazil you will see some of
those electric showers you will be okay
it's just sometimes you're like I don't
know but I feel safe doing this it does
kind of shock people you won't get
shocked but it can be shocking one word
of advice if you are gonna use those
electric showers turn the water on just
a little bit because if you put the
water on too much it can't heat the
water as much so the hot shower won't be
as hot so just turn a little bit of
water on so when the water comes through
it can heat all that there okay now the
next thing it's gonna shock you is that
tada you don't throw the toilet paper
down the toilet the toilet paper is for
that trash can next to the toilet look
the pipes in Brazil maybe not the best
ones out there maybe not big enough I
don't know the true reason behind it
maybe it just can't handle it but you
have to realize you might be shocked if
you do throw your used toilet paper in
the trash can next you and I've seen it
at airports at bars at restaurants you
do throw it in there because the pipes
can't take it and that can be a bit
shocking for some people going wait I
put my toilet paper in there so when you
go to your hotel you might ask them hey
do I do I use the toilet do I put my
toilet paper in the toilet or do I put
it in the trash can by the toilet so
that can be kind of shocking especially
for Americans they come here going wait
what's that it's not everywhere but it
can be a bit um interesting now that
anything that might shock you you come
here is yes the Brazilians are just as
crazy and just as fun and just as
awesome as you've heard about on TV
radio music all this kind of stuff
Brazilians are awesome they will show
you their country they will show you
around they'll tell you what to eat
they'll tell you you shouldn't be doing
that you should be eating this they'll
yell at you your beer is not cold enough
throw that away
they are crazy insane fun especially you
can come at carnival when they really go
nuts Carnival is fantastic and you'll be
shocked but how much skin how much music
how much loudness all this kind of stuff
you have here in Brazil it all comes
together there but it really comes from
the people because they love their music
the music here is awesome
and the vibe of the people is just so
crazy you'll be shocked just wow these
people really are super nice no they
probably won't speak much English but
you'll still be able to communicate with
them okay because they are so friendly
and so helpful that you will be alright
alright now the knife thing that'll
probably shock you to death when you
come to Brazil is driving look driving
Brazil I don't recommend it take the bus
fly with cool do whatever take a taxi
don't drive on your own because it can
be white-knuckle oh my god as semi
swerve like this on the highways and
people are running across the highways
and stuff like that and it can be really
really like heart-attack inducing when
you when you're driving here also when
you earn the bigger cities like são
Paulo Rio you may think oh I found a
parking spot
oh no no there'll be a guy there say no
no come this way come this way you know
say well I say this part this parking
spot for you free my buddy and you got a
tip the guy a couple reals I mean the
nicer places the more you tip them
otherwise something bad might happen to
your car but seriously the drive in
Brazil will give you a heart attack okay
the tenth thing that's gonna shock you
to come to Brazil is you can literally
swim with Jacques a day I eat alligators
and piranhas
if you're going to Ponton ah one of my
favorite experiences is just floating on
in it's you've done the Pantanal and my
friend Fernando tells me Marc look
behind you and I look behind me and
there's a Shaka day
the alligators head is like here for me
to the camera okay and I'm like I just
kind of moved over he's like I know
they're kind of docile here remember
everything's kind of laid-back even the
alligators a bit chilled out here okay
but we're just kind of like oh my god
you can actually swim with these guys
and you can go with the piranhas they
won't eat you you can fish for piranhas
actually tastes pretty good so that's
kind of crazy
now of course you know I'm really bad at
math you know my PhDs in banking so you
have fuzzy math works for me sort of ten
shocks I'm gonna give you a couple extra
ones the eleven thing that will shock
you here is one of the things that will
kind of like open your eyes is the
inequality in Brazil you will see the
favelas the shantytowns here you see wow
there is a lot of poverty here in Brazil
you like wow there's so much powder
there's so much potential there's so
much stuff here that this is kind of
shocking and when you're in Rio
you really see the the favelas going up
the hills other places like South Paulo
you don't see it so much it's on the
outskirts but when you travel around the
country you do see that inequality so if
you can't help people out do help people
out okay
and the twelfth thing let's stop well
then we'll finish with something happy
the twelfth thing that's gonna shock you
to come here's how much weight you're
gonna put on when you're here because
voice if you like the food here yeah the
boys would like the food here quite a
bit here come here Liam so the boys have
liked a few Turek quite a bit so Liam
he's been indolent we say which is the
sausage what all the snow that you like
you guys been here yeah the ice cream
here filed the case you he's been eating
up so much I think he's gotten like
gained like 10 pounds while he's here I
think I've gained ten pounds there's so
much great food when you're here from
the meat picanha you gotta have a little
bit of the other steak with a little bit
it's so good see Kayla can hardly carry
Liam now the food the fruit the meat
there's food here you've never even
heard of Pao de queijo cheese bread all
we have that it Pizza Hut now how the
Kjus is special kind of bread they make
with cheese it is fantastic the fruits
here did you know cashew nuts actually
are on a fruit and it's on the top of
the fruit and they make juices out of
that there's so much great food here a
miniature ice for me it's the best food
out there with beads at Rice and I guess
you'll be shot how many beans and rice
you will eat here
there's so many great things and all the
regions around Brazil have different
food and you're buying a have a cottage
a this bean paste fried thing with dried
shrimp inside of I got it so good but

how much you two will fall in love with
Brazil when you are here because I'll be
honest the people the food everything

scared about Zika or or yes there are
there is crime or you got to be careful
