24 HOURS IN PARATY (A Tourist's Bucket List Destination)

[@joenandamalie]

Alright, come down, guys, we have changed the title! It obviously wasn't meant to defame Portugal. We thought the title was humorous since Brazil DIDN'T EVEN EXIST back then. That means Portugal was stealing from Portugal, but that doesn't make any sense, right? Anyone who has been following us for more than 5 seconds would know that we have been doing more than 300 videos PRAISING everything-Portugal. This was just a light-hearted title with no bad intentions! UPDATE: We were just told that there's recently been a debate in the media between Brazil and Portugal about this topic, which of course is even more unfortunate. Again, we apologize, but understand that we didn't make it to offend the Portuguese people. Why would we willingly dig our own grave? Please also note that in the video, we don't say ANYTHING about Portugal stealing from Brazil, simply because we KNOW that wasn't the case. If we truly believed that Portugal stole from Brazil, we would have talked about it in the actual video. Hope to see you in the next video! :-)

Possibility nr. 1 then..... 😄

[@TheLexy131313]

And you know Portuguese are very VERY sensitive on this subject. I took it differently because I'm used to Dutch humour.... possibly somewhat similar to Danish humour.

[@joenandamalie]

We didn't know that Portuguese were very sensitive on this subject. In fact, we thought Portuguese were proud of their former empire and all the things they accomplished, which is why we put the title on edge.

[@emanuelmarques1568]

sorry, but "steal" is a serious word, not a joke you should understand that no one likes their ancestors to be called thieves... so, at the very least it's an unfortunate choice of words.

[@joenandamalie]

I guess coming from the Vikings ourselves, we don’t really see any issue with word stealing. Ofc we would never had used that word if we thought it would come across as offensive or hurtful.

[@khyel]

As a Brazilian viewer I can assure that the narrative "The Portuguese stole from Brazil" is deeply rooted here owing to a huge and consistent bashing campaign which has been in place since the coup that established republic over monarchy in 1889. It´s been systematically and conveniently used as an all-purpose excuse to blame colonial past for every single problem the country faces till these days. Moreover, the Portuguese element was and somehow is still defamed as a form to cut off the historical and emotional memory from Brazilians and prevent any chance of reestablishing monarchy. Brazilian Republic started from a lie, expelled the Brazilian Royal Family in one of the most shameful episodes of our history and keeps on being a fake propaganda engine. It´s not surprising that the Portuguese people get so outrageous about being called thieves. Well, nowadays it´s difficult to make content without generating discontentment at a certain level but you´d better be more cautious about certain jokes or dark humor since excessive polarization and politicization seem to be a plague spreading all the way. Hope people understand that you didn´t mean to do any harm and enjoy the content itself. Big hugs.

[@greven182]

Fabio, what a great comment. I did put a comment on the pinned topic saying mostly that, that what triggers me is when some Brazilian people, specially politicians use the Portuguese legacy as a way to white wash the current state of affairs in Brazil. Of course Portugal as a colonizer did awful things, of course in our past we did things that seem terrible (and it was) using today's standards, but that's now how one should look at the past, the past is the past and it should not be judged using the present, nor should I be held responsible for what some Men did that lived 500 years prior to me in the same land I was born. I hope all the best to Brazil, just makes me sad that consistent bashing and the need to cut ties with the Portuguese past. We share the same language and have loads of cultural overlap, both our countries and people should be proud of our heritage even if one needs to recognize that the past is not all roses. It was even a Portuguese prince that loved Brazil so much that started the Independence process from his own country! What's not to love about that? And there is a statue of him in one of the main squares in Lisbon! :)

great post.

[@joenandamalie]

Thanks for your comment! And yes, you would definitely know coming from Brazil, so as we have said so many times here jn the commentary we realize we were trying to be entertaining on a topic that is very sore. We simply didn’t realize this was a thing. It seems crazy to still be fighting about stuff from an era so long ago, which is why we thought no one had a problem with the title. We were wrong!! 😳

Brazilians love to travel overseas, but because of the currency it's too expensive for us to travel overseas. The reason Brazil receives so few tourists is not only due to the bad publicity on the media, but also because Brazil is far away from Europe and the US, the transportation inside the country is quite complicated compared to Europe and very few ppl here speak English. The disadvantage is less money from the tourists. The advantage is tons of empty paradises.

[@TheAdrianaPolari]

@Music Case Todas as passagens que você compra são em dólar. A Turquia por ex. é um país bem barato até pra nós brasileiros, mas o que encarece é o preço da passagem. Meu marido é turco. Só não vamos visitar a família dele mais vezes porque é muito caro a viagem, não estar lá, entendeu? E eu acho maravilhoso viajar pelo Brasil. Tanto que nem me importo tanto de o dólar estar alto, porque o Brasil tem um mundo de possibilidades. Também não é barato, mas ainda é mais barato que viajar pra fora, por causa do dólar alto. Só que eu só comentei isso pra responder a um comentário feito no vídeo, dizendo que os brasileiros não viajam muito pra fora do país, como se não gostássemos, e não é bem assim.

There was no stealing, Brazil was Portuguese territory, its citizens were Portuguese. Since you are in Brazil and talking about gold, go see Brazil’s oldest churches, that’s where the majority of the gold can be found.

[@joenandamalie]

We know it wasn't stealing. This was more meant in a fun way as Brazil today is Brazil and Portugal is Portugal. It was simply to give the title a little spice. Nothing was meant to defame Portugal, obviously. I think we have made enough videos praising Portugal to not be seen in such negative light, no?

[@grandadan]

@@joenandamalie Did you change the title? Why? You shouldn't! LOL

[@joenandamalie]

@@grandadan - If you read the comments, too many people misunderstood our intent with the title. It doesn't make sense to piss off people and that also wasn't our intent.

[@Ma-id1nl]

Brazil wasn't a Portuguese territory. Invading a place, exterminating millions of inhabitants and later calling the land yours, doesn't make it yours, no matter what most history books still say to this day. Let's start there. Also, it is important to clarify that ''its citizens were Portuguese'' is code for ''some white individuals in Brazil at the time, were citizens of Portugal''.

[@SylvaHodracyrda]

@@Ma-id1nl Yes, it was, the borders and infrastructures were created by them, with the help of the locals themselves, who allied with the settlers against the rival tribes - look at the Tupiniquim and the Tupinambá for instance. To say the Indians were all the same would be the equivalent of claiming Europeans were or are all the same. The members of one tribe regarded the members of the opposite ones as foreigners, a common thing in the history of every continent. There was no extermination in Brazil, that's an absurd claim mirrored from the likes of what happened in Peru and Mexico. In fact, the Portuguese Crown forbade such deeds from taking place. The gold that was found wasn't on necklaces, pieces of clothes or buildings, it was on the underground. By royal decree, during the reign of Dom Joam III, middle of the 16th century, everyone born in an overseas territory was, by law, as Portuguese as any other born in the capital itself, so quit the race-baiting, there was no such thing as a focus on white folk, I can show you countless examples of notable non-white figures to show you otherwise, including Portuguese negro knights.

Oh, oh... you guys are into Dark Humor!... :) I don't care anymore, but my friends in Brazil, and in our many chats we had while riding all across the county, every now and then, it appeared the "you guys stole our gold and gave nothin' in return" (like if paying taxes is something that only happened then and there, and no infrastructures were built there at that time), and then we were visiting Universities and lots of other cultural landmarks built during the time that Brazil was part of the Portuguese Empire, that are still the reference in current days. Also stories about how the portuguese exterminated the indigenous people (when the reality was that many married, made love, not war -- they were killing each other more than any battle with the portuguese). And worst, and mostly at the Nordeste (e.g., Olinda and Recife), is the praise for the Dutch and the slam of the portuguese heritage, saying that if the Dutch had won, Brazil would be even better than USA, whatever that means -- when in fact they only wanted to take control of the slavery trade from Africa. And nowadays other communities (Italians, Germans, etc.) do have an important role in that, namely at the south of the country, trying to put a negative connotation to portuguese ancestry. And finally, why all of this? Because that's the oficial narrative in Brazil, that children learn at school, ever since the Republic was established, blame the Monarchy and Portugal for all the bad things happening in Brazil, so that there wouldn't be any temptation to get back to a Monarchy (now 100% brazilian, not portuguese anymore) -- see this article (in Portuguese, sorry), www.publico.pt/2020/08/09/opiniao/noticia/brasil-ve-antilusitanismo-historico-sistema-ensino-1926791 or this book (from Brazil, eduCAPES): educapes.capes.gov.br/bitstream/capes/207142/2/Historia%20da%20educa%C3%A7%C3%A3o.pdf Paraty, Angras dos Reis, Ubatuba: beautiful, beautiful areas (even with a Nucleal Power Plant in the middle) -- been there for an entire week, and would love to return.

*A PARATY HISTÓRICA* Paraty é mesmo incrível, linda e majestosa na sua simplicidade arquitetônica. Nosso maravilhoso centro histórico guarda histórias maravilhosas. Sua simplicidade encanta o passante, que mesmo desavisado ainda assim consegue se aperceber que aqui muita história se fez. Nosso centro, apesar de algumas descaracterizações sofridas ao longo do tempo, conseguiu manter uma "quase homogeneidade" de estilo. Pois, apesar de algumas mudanças sofridas pelo passar do tempo, conseguiu guardar a maior parte no estilo primário, o colonial brasileiro. Nosso centro sofreu a influência dos tempos e estilos de cada época, passando pelo colonial, depois a integração de elementos de outros estilos por sobre o colonial. Passamos pelo neoclássico tardio, tendo nesse estilo apenas um elemento na rua do Comércio.Também passamos pelo ecletismo, restando nesse estilo apenas a casa do Sr. Cadete, também na rua do Comércio. Essa casa é espetacular, guardando todos os elementos de arquitetura dessa época, porém, também trata-se de um ecletismo tardio, construída pelo construtor Oscar Lopes nos idos dos anos 30, acredito no ano de 1935. Várias casas foram construídas nesse estilo ou tendo seu colonial modificado para o eclético pelo Sr. Oscar Lopes e seus seguidores. Exemplos disso são a casa da família Conti, na rua da praia e as circunvizinhas, o sobrado da rua da cadeia em frente a praça da Matriz. Uma outra construção desse período restou no centro. Trata-se da Casa da Atriz Maria de La Costa, onde hoje funciona o Restaurante Dona Ondina. Apesar dela ser totalmente diferente, assemelhando-se mais a uma casa de hacienda, típica de áreas rurais.

The white is proper to prepare a caipirinha while the brownish get their color from the wooden vats where they are left aging (like whiskey) and are supposed to be consumed pure. Keep up the good work!

[@MariaJose-qf5gv]

The title of this video? .... Im not sure. Just saying.

[@joenandamalie]

You shouldn't be sure about the title. That's why we picked it. We know Portugal was Portugal before it became Brazil. That's why we thought it was a fun title.

Guys... you just missed the sunny weather by a week on your Costa Verde trip. Definitely come back. There are endless beaches, islands, waterfalls and destilaries to explore. And yes... it only gets better when the sun shines. I love that you found that Mongolian tree house restaurant. Have you tried the crazy dish ingredients... like shark? And yes... the street vendor is not Brazilian for sure, lol. Anyway... great video on my beloved Paraty.

[@joaobessa4632]

Que ignorância. Quando Portugal chegou ao Brasil há 500 anos, já explorava ouro no seu território Português há mais de 1000 Anos e maioritariamente esse ouro do Brasil ficou no Brasil e foi usado para infraestruturar o Brasil. Hoje há milhares de Monumentos Históricos no Brasil que foram financiados pelo Ouro. Passado 500 Anos hoje no Brasil é explorado toneladas de Ouro de forma Ilegal na Amazônia e enviado para o estrangeiro para enriquecer garimpeiros BRASILEIROS. Uma vergonha

[@serramcs]

The title was inappropriate because brazilians (not all, fortunately) are not polite to the portuguese people; they don't know how to separate the past from the present time. Portugal has an historic past that it is proud of. A small country with adventurous people that discovered so many places where no European had yet been, from Madeira to Japan (and Australia). In that past period the European maritime countries (Spain, France, England, Holland) were the sovereigns of the world. That time has passed, long ago. It is not possible to discuss what happened four centuries or more ago and blame the people of today.Only the no cult people have this idea. If they knew about history, they would realize that the gold that the Portuguese discovered in Brazil, much of it stayed in the churches that were built there. The Portuguese built and left hundreds of cities in the country, which even today give them wealth, thanks to their architectural beauty, which attract thousands of tourists. This fact, alone far exceeds the economic value of the gold found. At that time, all the discovering countries were looking for gold and precious stones. A lot of silver came out from Argentina (the name of the country means silver). The Portuguese people have an attitude of brotherhood towards the the other peoples. Just look at what is currently happening with so many foreign citizens living in Portugal, including many brazilians, who do not fit into the xenophobic group. Brazil could be a great nation if it had another mentality. PS. Brazilian people should look at the treatment given to the indigenous, who are disappearing. These are the real owners of the country.

Adoro Paraty!!! Também gosto muito da atmosfera da cidade. Li que os paralelepípedos eram uma estratégia no caso de possíveis invasões.

[@nickdreique]

[@renan4797]

Boa tarde Dri, Não são paralelepípedos, são pedras irregulares e o nome do calcamento é pé de moleque. A estratégia não é o calçamento, mas, sim, o traçado curvo das ruas , que transforma a cidade em labirinto.
