Hello guys. How's it going welcome to Vitoria in Brazil where I am at the moment
This is my other home my brazilian home, and I want to talk more about it
Now you guys will remember the other day that I started that brand new series on my channel called
Scottish stories where I talk about my home in scotland about everything I know about my culture all that kind of stuff
Well, I also want to do this other series about brazil because brazil makes up a huge part of my life as well
so on today's video
I want to talk about
Something quite simplistic quite basic to get started a lot of people in brazil ask me as a foreigner as a gringo
Why I like Brazil while of brazil is a very common question
so this video kind of explains that in a very simplistic basic sense the five things that
Foreigners in Brazil love about Brazil in Reverse order fifth place this will sound very cliche
But the beaches people who come to brazil come and they love the beaches
Why because actually in Europe and in North America and everywhere else in the world where foreigners come from Australia?
We have got some amazing beaches as well
But here's the thing in brazil the beach culture is different from everywhere else
So of course when foreigners come they get completely enticed induced by the Brazilian Beach culture. It's so different
It's so unique it is so amazing so for example on the beaches in Brazil
It's a culture where people come together as families as groups of friends
It's a big social event now for me when I think about the beach in the uk for example
I go there as a kind of way to escape to get into nature to get into the
natural environment and breathe some fresh air and
Get away from everything and that's what a lot of people new kids think about beaches is not as much of a social event is
More of a calming experience
But in brazil it's the opposite people come to the beach to socialize
To have fun with their friends and family to eat good food to have a drink
To swim in the Ocean, and it's just such an incredible experience
I
personally love the beaches in Brazil because of the social Element
So that is why it has to be included in part of this list for the weather
now another cliche thing but very
Important because a lot of us gringo's come from countries where it's not very hot and sunny
I for example come from scotland as you know scotland is a country where
Our summer, maximum temperatures about 20 to 23 degrees Celsius not very hot now you could argue other places like America
Americans come to brazil and it's very very hot there in the summer as well
I think in brazil it's different Brazilian weather is tropical
It's like a constant humid heat even though in the middle of winter
It is very very warm and you can actually still go and enjoy the beach and outdoors this than a year
but one thing on the weather that I must touch on brazil actually does get cold a lot of people do not realize this but
Particularly on the south of Brazil in the middle of winter. It's actually right at this very moment in time and july
It's - temperatures, I just looked at Santa Catarina (state, south of Brazil) and then in those places
and they're getting like frost on the ground is like so just be prepared guys if you are a
Foreigner coming to brazil for the first time check the weather out where you're going in Brazil
It's a huge country in North to South so in the north
It's obviously more tropical where I am in the middle is tropical in the south is more of a temperate climate
even Sao Paulo The Big Massive City Gets pretty chilly at this of year
Nature nature and Brazil is unique, and I personally this is something. I personally feel one of the reasons
Why I love brazil because of the nature from here in Vitoria
You can just drive like an hour in either direction, and you can be in some amazing beautiful nature one story
I wanted to could drive from here in Vitoria, (Espirito Santo state) up to my mother and father in Law's house and the countryside
It's four hour drive away, and only drive guys. This is one of the most incredible experiences of my life on the drive
We came across a sloth crossing the road and took some photos and video of it
It was ups one of just one of those moments in my life that I'll never forget also if you go into the boris around
The City you'll see monkeys
You'll see all kinds of amazing beautiful birds - toucans for example like brazil this has such rich nature
I'll just love brazil because of that ok in second place
And this is actually something that could well be the first place and Paulo should be first place
but for the specific purposes of the video
I'm about to do it's not first place, but the people in Brazil Brazilians Brazilians Brazilians are
probably the best thing about brazil for me like
They're so warm and friendly I came to brazil for the first time and I did not know anybody
It was a country that took me under his wings showed me everything about the culture welcomed me into the homes
It was just incredible
I just enjoyed the experience of being around Brazilian so much
So much so that I am married a brazilian brazilian people are one of the reasons. Why I love brazil so much
And whether it is like just warm, or Is there good sense of humor
it's just so fun to be around Brazilians. It's just one of the main reasons
Why I like being here
You always have a lot of good fun here. Put it that way, okay
So in the first place for this specific video and the reasons of what you'll find out why in a minute?
I want to talk about Brazilian food
I love the food here in brazil when I leave brazil is one of the things that I miss so
So much brazilian food is incredible. It is amazing. It's so diverse and also depending on where you are in Brazil
It's so different for example every city has its speciality here in Victoria
moqueca capixaba
Which is a seafood dish is one of the big specialities and allies probably one of my favorite foods in the whole world
I actually
Adore it so much however one thing that really gets me every single time and I talked about this with all my friends and
Europe when I go away is churrasco
churrasco
basically means
Barbecue and in brazil they do barbecues a little bit differently from how we do it back in the uk none of these hamburgers on
a bun
That's not how to do barbecues out here
Here is about a slab of meat like this size with some incredibly good brazilian beef cuts on the barbecue
