Culture Shocks from Living in Brazil? (Rio)

I'm from Poland and I love Brazil very much, I've been there several times and it's a unique country in the world, I really like Curitiba, Rio de Janeiro and regions like Goiás and Minas Gerais. They are cool and beautiful places, I found the interview with the woman from England and Finland very interesting. It's very impressive that a person from England complains about the way they dress, since in England many girls go out into the street almost naked in the cold 😂, well, it seems that the woman from Finland doesn't know her country to talk about nature, it was It's very funny that she said not to trust Latinos and her 2 children, hers are Latino, it's a bit hypocritical I think 😂, I've been to Colombia and the way women dress isn't very different, not to mention that in Colombia women offer sex on the street out of nowhere. I think the country is much more conservative than Colombia, this interview for me was just prejudice and hypocrisy from the interviewees, Brazil is a unique country and rich in many things and for me the real country is not Rio de Janeiro nor the big capitals more yes, the countryside and the cities where you see the true culture and friendliness of the people and security and I have been to many countries in South and North America on the continent there are only two countries that have the capacity to be powers, the United States and Brazil I recommend countries to get to know the real Brazil but not Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo, a hug to all Brazilians🙂🇵🇱❤

⁠@@sabrynatenorioPerhaps there are a significant number of conservative people in the city of Rio, but that is not the reputation the city has simply because there are very large numbers of people in the city of Rio who are not conservative and those numbers are very evident to anyone who visits the city or spends any considerable amount of time in the city. No one is saying all Cariocas are one way or another but for any one to say that Rio is generally known as a conservative city overall would not be honest with themselves. Every city on Earth has a general reputation for a reason. Generalizations are not 100% true, but they arise from general impressions and experiences, so if nothing else, they can partially true, while leaving space for individual truths and lifestyles as well.

Most of the comments were pretty lighthearted and fun/true, but I guess one of the finnish women does not realize how xenophobic her relative sounded while saying latinos can't be trusted. Even when you say it as a meme you should be extra careful, but I'm pretty sure that older generations trust that for a fact based on stereotypes and prejudice

[@jaskatpon1]

Maybe she meant it as a joke due to certain old stereotypes of Latino people among the older generation of people.

[@raphaelfp]

@@jaskatpon1 it's racist anyway. Every latino knows how it feels to be treated in such a condescending way

[@davidelliott1594]

@raphaelfp If I may ask, what was racist about her comment exactly? First, Latino is not a "race," it is more about culture and regional descent and a Latino can be of any "race." Also, xenophobia is a fear of foreigners. I didn’t get that vibe from her. In the video, I believe she said her mother told her, "you can't trust Latinos" and that she herself finds that to be "sometimes" true, and she gave specific cultural examples in her experience where she lives as to why she made the comment. And if we are being completely honest, I have personally known people from various Latin American countries who say the same thing about their own cultures, and whether true or false, it is something people occasionally experience everywhere. It is not uncommon to hear some people criticize elements of their own culture. And she was specifically asked what she did not like about Brazil, she simply didn't sugar coat her answer. A person shouldn't ask that question if they don't want someone to tell the truth. She didn't overgeneralize by saying ALL Latinos cannot be trusted, she said sometimes she finds it to be true based on her experiences of 18 years living in the city of Rio de Janeiro. She simply answered the question in an honest manner. But her response definitely could have been worded better, but I wouldn't chalk it up to racism per se, just a different cultural perspective on what is considered honest.

[@raphaelfp]

@@davidelliott1594 when you stick to a stereotype of a whole culture/race (and bear in mind that latinos can be found anywhere from Mexico until Chile) and uses this as a metric to define these people in a derogatory way, you're being racist. You say she's based on her almost 20 years here in Brazil. Well, I'm 41 and I'm brazilian. Been to more than 20 countries and even though I've been well treated in most of them, it's easy to notice when someone (especially from Europe) tend to see us as savages like it's just a "quirky trait". It's a stupid thing to assume about anyone else, doesn't matter if it's latinos, asians, black people or any other ethnicity. The ones who believe in concepts like that should be less self absorbed and get to know for a fact what goes on around the world. Watching Geography Now on youtube is a good start

[@Mariet31]

I mean, I am latina... you can't trust latinos. You can leave a wallet or stuff in Germany without getting robbed. For us, that's a mind blowing concept. It's the truth and if you get offended, you are delusional.

[@CerridwenAwel]

Seems like that Finnish lady is simply unable to operate outside the strict enforcement of rules. I'd assume she's very machine-like for being unable to glimpse civilization outside the binder she's used to. Brazil has been through so many crises and the system failing so much that the people developed the ability to negotiate rules and have matters flowing on-the-go. So the Finnish lady is like a cog, whereas brazilians are rebuilding the system everyday, adapting to every new problem, and having an entire continental country running quite peacefully for the amount of issues going on. When a people builds their "civilization" everyday, with enormous flexibility and adaptability to unforeseen and foressen issues, instead of having "civilization" imposed in the form of rules for them to blindly follow, I dunno, it looks to me that the one who knows how to make civilization from scratch, accomodating an enormous range of issues and still keep stuff going, is more civilised, as opposed to a trained monkey. But alas, the blinder...

[@GABIdotGABI]

I am Brazilian and I work with Estonians. Basically, they want everything to be planned in advance and create a series of rules for all processes. This is good because it makes work organized and efficient. On the other hand, an excess of rules limits creativity and sometimes makes processes too slow. The Brazilian team knows how to deal much better with unforeseen events and can find a way out even in the most complicated situations and when there are not enough resources available. Rules are important but creativity and resilience are too.

The stereotype of Brazil in foreigners mind is the stereotype from Rio. Brazil has a continental dimension, more than 200 milion people of different origins. The rest of Brazil is quite different from Rio, the accents, people, customs, the way of life, many differences. If someone wants to know Brazil, it is necessary to visit different regions. If you think Brazil is Rio so you do not know Brazil. For example; São Paulo city is a metropolis, no beaches, not so hot and it rains a lot in the summer, people are always in a hurry and they are more serious. You can find people of other parts from Brazil and from other countries in São Paulo. If you go more to the south of the country things change, if you go to midwest is another thing, northwest another completely different...

Even Rio de Janeiro is stereotyped in this video.

i never heard about these places. everyone in the world knows rio and the world famous copacabana beach and christ the redeemer. so naturally all tourists who wish to travel to brazil go to the most famous tourist place of brazil because rio is the postcard of brazil and people love that place the most. second most known place for tourists is sao paolo but its not as touristy as rio. other then these 2 places people in the world dont know much else of brazil, they think everything else is just jungle of amazon forrest. i know brazilian people are probably little bit frustrated because they have more beautiful places that they want to show to people but its just how things are in the world. i also live in a country that has only 2 famous places people visit when they in my country and other places which are in my opinion even more beautiful dont exist on their radar. its how people are, they heard or read about how cool some location is from other people and they go there just to say they been there too because its cool location. but safety is also important so these places with lots of tourism are safer then others because governments make sure to not lose tourism revenue from people flocking in to safe cool famous destinations.

[@TheMarihifenanna]

As a Carioca who left Rio 13 years ago, it shocks me that so many people tend to generalize based on the behaviors of those living in the (richer) south quarters of Rio and Barra da Tijuca. The suburbs of Brazil are extremely conservative compared to these areas full of tourists. It makes me feel the most non-typical Carioca ever. We are a lot more "open" and outgoing, yes, definitely more musical, but never have I or any of my girlfriends or women working with me drunk alcohol so easily, used drugs (such a taboo topic for us) or had sex on first dates compared to the way I see the youth doing here in Europe. This sounds super awkward. We wear bikinis at the beach, but we're not willing to be naked everywhere the way I see here, where saunas and fitting rooms are mixed, people go topless every chance they get, gym showers are usually open and kids go to school wearing shorts so short you could almost see their brains. I think this open friendliness we have, which tends to be kind of superficial, is somewhat seen as "an invitation to sex", which for most part is not going to be. People might kiss you when having fun at parties, but most are not interested in sleeping with you. Trust me. But I agree with everything said about corruption and our lack of seriousness concerning our environment. I believe that, because we have so many natural resources and such diversified biomes, people think they'll be there forever and they won't have to do anything to preserve them.

[@sabrynatenorio]

There are many serious brazilians also.

Very true. As a Brazilian it also pisses me off how people are late to stuff. It's so disrespectful. Regarding the idea of not making real friends it's misunderstood. It's just that we are nice to people we don't know. It doesn't mean we are BFFs. We are just happy people who enjoy other people's companies and sharing experiences. That doesn't mean we developed some deep friendship. It simply means we are not a cold dismissive people. The true friendship will develop as time goes on and bonds strengthen. But we won't give you the cold treatment just because we just met. I think people are too used to that in Europe. Same thing with men who think Brazilian women fancy them when in reality we are just friendlier and more open. More open doesn't mean open legs. That being said, the region of Brazil also affects the experience. People in Rio are quite extreme when it comes to what is said in the video for sure. In fact, when people from Rio come to my state (Espírito Santo) they think we are cold and unfriendly.

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

​@@wildman958I think she was trying to say that Finland is more forested on a percentage level than Brazil. Brazil has the largest rainforest (the Amazon jungle) and largest wetland (the Pantanal) in the world, but it is not the most forested country per capita, nor actually the one with the most forested land. Those titles actually belong to neighboring Suriname, which is like 90.2% forest, and Russia, which has 12 million sq. km of forested land, mostly from the Siberian taiga forests. Finland also ranks 10 when it comes to the most forested countries, at 72%, while Brazil ranks 22, at 64%. Also, she might have meant the better infrastructure in Finalnd makes access to nature a lot easier than in Brazil, hence, why it is less dangerous or more tourist friendly. Brazil has large concrete jungle cities like Sao Paolo, which Europe has no equivalent of, so one can really get lost in just pure concrete, before seeing a touch of nature (not so much for coastal cities like Rio de Janeiro though). Also, I think when she said Brazil's nature is more dangerous, it could be because of the different types of biomes. Brazil has tropical rainforests, where animals like venomous snakes, spiders, frogs, predatory anacondas, jaguars, caimans, and parasitic and disease spreading creatures exist (warm, wet environments are the perfect nesting grounds for mosquitoes and parasitic amoeba). Meanwhile, Finland has a very cold biome of mostly evergreen taiga foests, where bodies of water tend to come from melted glaciers, so the water are crystal clear cold, which prevents microbes from growing, hence it is safe to swim and drink them. You will still find some apex predators like bears, wolves, lynxes, and wolverines, though. Just not the venemous and parasiti creatures.

There is a big difference between people who go to clubs, tourist places, with the intention of having fun with people there, having one night stands, etc., and the serious dating scene. I believe that in most of the world's big capitals what happens in clubs is very different from real day-to-day dating, and it's the same thing in Brazil, the tourists in the video make it seem like you can kiss any Brazilian on the street before even saying hi, which is not normal at all here, if you do that you will be arrested for harassment.

01:19 Sh'es so proud of being Scandinavian, but as far as I know, Finland is only a Nordic country, not being part of Scandinavia at all. Scandinavia is made up of Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

If you only spend time in Rio and São Paulo you May have a different experience from the rest of the country… Minas Gerais is the best!!!!

[@renanalencar2369]

[@marcosantos4395]

this thing abt being more calm is just in rio bc in sp we are very fast paced in terms of appointments and life in general

[@luisfernandoalves2748]

Like many people in the comments have pointed out, Rio is a different place altogether. Due to its complex history and vibrant culture, it lives within its own reality. In many ways, it looks a lot like a failed state, if you wander outside the safe parts of the city (where tourists and rich people hang out). In other interesting ways, it's the best we brazilians have to offer to the world, and where the roots of our culture come from. Anyway, the rest of Brazil is MUCH MUCH different.

The beaches are not really polluted, also, this girl seems to only know Copacabana and Ipanema, but there are 86 km of beaches in the city alone

I'm Brazilian, and I may say that what the English woman said about cheating culture in Brazil is kindaaaa true... I'm not saying that EVERYBODY is a f@cking b@stard who will have sex with the first b@tch he comes across regardless of being dating, engaged with someone, or married, but some people should definitely rethink their behaviors about this topic Every person is different, and we should not blame an entire group just for some bad individuals. Personally, I'm not a fan of people who dare to cheat on their partners. It's quite irresponsible, selfish, and egotistical

[@sabrynatenorio]

There is no culture of cheating in Brazil, what exists are people who cheat, but not everyone does it.

[@sabrynatenorio]

True.

[@paulapalhao9034]

Mas Gabriel o Brasil definitivamente não inventou a traição! E existem pessoas ruins e que traem em qualquer lugar, isso não é algo cultural isso é do caráter da pessoa.

From a Brazilian guy point of view, born and raised in São Paulo, i think they were all pretty honest. That thing about commitments and appointments, getting late it's a Brazilian thing, but more so in Rio. Sometimes i think I belong somewhere else cause that can be frustrating. I hate being late, i take relationships seriously, i can't stand when people don't answer a professional e-mail, or when they change their minds about meeting you and just don't let you know in advance. I'm Brazilian and I'm just as bothered by this as they are.

[@sabrynatenorio]

Not even the people of Rio are like that.

[@ramsesgomes545]

Também me sinto desconfortável com essas situações relatadas!

Im from south africa 🇿🇦 i love ❤️ brazil 🇧🇷 ♥️

[@MrPaulistano39]

Rio de Janeiro could be called Brazil. Because every foreigner summarizes the culture of the city of Rio de Janeiro with the rest of the country, which is gigantic, with culture and customs that are completely different from the citizens who live in Rio.

[@eugenefritz6669]

She feels that she could be more happy in Finland but have been living in Brazil for 18y why?

[@AlexandreSantos-wm8qv]

Rio is not very representative of the culture and reality of Brazil. Is a huge country with diferent places, culture and life style. If you really want to know what Brazil is, you will have to travel a lot and go to different places. Is like the carnival, tha big party that happens in Rio, only happens in Rio and is made for tourists and tv...go to small cities in São paulo and Minas Gerais to see the real carnival, go to the north of the country to see the forests, to northwest to see the beachs , go south to see the "estancias"... Rio is for tourists
