Hey guys, It's Benny from Fleuntin3Months, and today I'm with Tim from "Tim Explica"
Whats up guys!
Tim has many followers on his channel
And we wanted to make a video about why we adore Brazilians!
This is because I wrote an article on my blog
The most read article by Brazilians. I read that, very cool
There are subtitles that you can read if you don't understand what we're saying
So, let's do this!
I lived in Brazil for a year, after travelling... after *living* in 24 countries
And having visited other countries
I found Brazilians, were the nicest people in the world
And because sometimes people say this, but they don't have the perspective that you have
As someone that lived in many places
I like Brazil but I haven't been in many countries, but I definitely know that they're very nice, and welcoming
You always feel at home
It's because most of my time travelling in Brazil, it was only me travelling
And everytime I went "Alone"? Yes "alone", thanks!
I need to correct people because it's always me being corrected!
And every time I arrived in a new city, with no friends after a day, I could already go to a party and know everyone
Because sometimes when you travel, you really can feel alone
But it's impossible to feel alone in Brazil, you go out in the street, to any bar... You don't even drink, but you go to bars and you meet up with people
And Brazilians love foreigners They do!
This is really cool if you want to travel to Brazil as a foreigner, it's really easy
Another thing, i think that Brazilians are the healthiest people in the world. Healthiest? Why do you think so?
Because there's a gym on every corner, Brazilians are always there
They eat very well, I love Brazilian food!
But there's one dish over there that made me put on weight; Coxinha!
On top of this, Brazilians are very hygienic This is actually true, they brush their teeth 4 times a day at least!
After eating, they go to the bathroom and brush their teeth
In Ireland, this isn't that common?
In Ireland, people are hygienic too No, I'm saying that here (in the US) it's not common, so I'm just asking
I think many times during the day, they want to have a shower
I remember, I went to someone's house, one of the first questions was Hey, do you want to have a shower?
It's funny, it's not "Hey, would you like some water?" It's, "Hey, do you want to have a shower?"
And it's very hot over there But I've been to many other hot countries were people weren't that hygienic
Brazilians are also very optimistic
I think sometimes, the economic situation is not that good, but generally they have a positive attitude
It's a problem, but you've got to make the most from your day
Even though there are problems in the country, people are going to make the most out of it and be friendly
In other countries, people get stressed much quicker This is a problem
Even me, I feel more stressed now than the many months I spent in Brazil
When I go out in New York, I keep screaming at people Hey, what are you doing!
In Brazil, it's easy-going, no worries!
And in Brazil, no one has a watch; it's not necessary
I also think that Brazilians are very open
For example, in other countries, there's more distance between people
If I'm talking to a Brazilian, he would want me to look at his eyes when talking to him
It's different in other places, there's more distance
You can't simply say that someone is a friend
This happens really quickly, if someone is fond of you Hey mate, let's go to another party, let's go to my beach house
I've known you for 5 minutes!
They always kiss on the cheeks, here it's not common You have to also say bye to every single person
Here, you just wave goodbye to the entire group
Or in English the "Irish goodbye". I don't like this!
What do you call this in Ireland Ah you're right, it's just... leave!
And their lifestyle too, they dance
This is really cool, everyone knows how to dance to a certain extent Americans dance like robots!
But I went to your country, you guys know how to dance That's true, in Ireland we know how to dance using just our legs, like this!
The river dance? That's it!
I think Brazilians are very relaxed. It's great
And arriving at "Brazilian time" as I thought of it. So, we're very punctual people
But maybe way too punctual It's like our watches are another religion
You need to pay attention to the timing, if I say, "I'll arrive at 2 pm"
And I arrive at 2:01 , I might say "I'm so sorry, my apologies! "
But in Brazil, they're more relaxed They have the famous saying "I'm almost there!, I'm almost there! "
But I like it, this way there's more time to do things in the moment
If you're talking to a friend, you're genuinely talking to them
But I think in other countries, if someone calls you, maybe you prioritize them instead of whoever is actually with you
I think that this will make the moment more appreciated, I think Brazilians make the most of it
Brazilians are also very proud I agree
For example, in the south, in Porto Alegre....
I'm going to Porto Alegre in a few weeks You're going to love it! I'm actually going to Brazil tomorrow, I still have to pack!
But when i was in Porto Alegre, I went to a Gremistas (local team) game
I think that Brazilian cities are very proud of their teams It's great, it's good to be proud of where you come from
Very interesting because people they are proud of the cities they come from, of the region, of Brazil
They can speak badly of Brazil, but if a foreigner speaks badly They would say, "That annoying foreigner was insensitive"
You've got to be careful, if my intention isn't bad, if I said something that might be perceived in a bad way, I've got to be wary
People from Sao Paulo are proud of being from there, so are the people from Rio, everyone's like that, it's really cool
Is there anything else that you like about Brazil?
The food! He says that you guys are healthy, but I don't know how so because I ate so much fried stuff over there, I think I got fat a bit over there
I love coxinha, pastel frango com catupiry
Rice and beans? Rice and beans are good, I think I also drank some beers and you didn't
I love Brazil, everything about Brazil, I'm going to the Amazon too, I want to see the entire country
I've seen a lot of Brazil, Potro Alegre, Curitiba, São Paulo, Rio, Salvador da Bahia, Natal, Brasília, Minas Gerais...
I'm going to say something, don't kill me, Minas has the best food in Brazil
Yeah... I really miss BH! (Belo Horizonte)
After all that, I can say that Brazil is my favourite country!
