Hello. My name is Thiago Florindo. I am from Rio de Janeiro and there is a tourist spot that is little explored by foreign tourists that I suggest you visit: Madureira Park. It is the perfect place for those who enjoy Samba, alternative culture such as hip-hop, gothic culture, Rastafarianism and others. In addition, there is a lot of drinking and skateboarding. For those who love skateboarding, this place has 2 huge skateparks, a downhill slope, and a wooden half-pipe donated by Bob Burnquist. Tony Hawk visited the place in 2012.

@@ashleykourtney4098 North, Northeast, Central-West, Southeast and South. People doing vlogs only stays in the Southeast region (where Rio and São Paulo are located), but every region has something to offer.

Brazil is very diverse indeed, we have people of all colours. And the best thing is that we don't separate ourselves into groups like the USA does. We don't say "I'm German Brazilian", "I'm African Brazilian", or "I'm Japanese Brazilian", etc... we are all just Brazilians.

Caraca que mentiroso, mentindo na cara dura, quem não fica se rebaixando a esse nível são os brasileiros de primeira geração que é formado por Mulatos, Cafusos, Caboclos, Mamelucos e Pardos. O Caucasiano faz questão de dizer que é descendente de europeu e de certo modo essas pessoas odeiam o Brasil, principalmente descendente de alemão, os asiáticos também se denominam de nipo brasileiro, é só perguntar deles, e o outro é o seguinte, tem um monte de a Negro que se denominam descendente de africano sabendo que essa pessoas são só americanos igual a todos nós, agora obviamente separo a ideia de resgatar a cultura africana no Brasil do que ficar de denominando de um lugar a qual você não faz parte.

@@ashleykourtney4098 It was every bit as great as it is now, but a bit rough around the edges. Even though we had the internet, it wasn't quite what it is now. Thus, we arrived knowing very little about the place, which kept it interesting. There were no message boards or Facebook to ask questions or Google Streetview to check out places beforehand. Everything we saw, we saw for the first time. The good thing about Brazil is, there's so much more to see and experience than you think. You'll never be prepared for it all. How long are you staying?
