YOU WON'T FIND THIS BRAZILIAN SNACK IN THE UNITED STATES. 🇺🇸 Vs 🇧🇷

I'm from Brazil and I must say I've never seen a turist youtuber with so much respect for our culture. Nice, sincere and humble way to present a different culture and to make content, man. Respect!

[@BillyGringo]

Thank you brother! What part of Brazil are you from?

[@Hadrioc]

@@BillyGringo You're welcome, man. A more than deserved compliment. I currently live in Uberlândia, a moderately large city in the southwest part of the state of Minas Gerais.

[@JanusXX]

If you can't find it in the US, you can make by making a standard brioche dough and bake it. While baking, you make the topping with sweetened condensed milk, coconut and regular milk.... the amount of milk will determined the amount of sogginess you will get. Some people like it more soggy. When the brioche is almost done you take it off, let it cool, put the topping and bake it again at a really high temperature, just to brown the coconut. It has many steps but it is not that hard. You can also shape it like cinnamonrolls and let the topping sip into the cracks.

[@BillyGringo]

I can’t t remember if f they have it in the US. Thanks for the instructions on how to make it. I can’t get enough of it. Where are you from? Do they make it where you live?

Cartao Alimentacao= "Food Card" can be provided by the government, but they are usually (most of the time) given out by the employer as a way to supplement an employee`s income along with a monthly metro/subway/bus/gas card, just like medical insurance. All of it is negotiable when procuring a job in Brazil.

[@jggouvea]

Truth be told, they only exist because wages are taxed. The amount paid through such cardas isn't, but the company can still deduct the amount paid as salaries. The downside is that the food card amount isn't taken into account for retirement pensions either.

[@RandomNPC001]

@@jggouvea I agree 100%. Brazilian government should be smaller. The Brazilian government is so big that they are the largest single employer in the country.

Man, I'm from Fortaleza and I came across your channel about 2 days ago and I've been binge watching your videos since then. Really cool content and approach, kind of like our confort video in our house lol. It seems you really know your way around Fortaleza, but let me know if there's anything you want to know about in Fortaleza I can help you with. I learned most of my English by talking to people and helping them out while they're here, so it's turned into a favorite sport. Also, your Portuguese sounds really good, congrats.

Salve, Billy! Conheci seu canal a poucos dias atrás e estou maratonando todos os seus vídeos! Estou estudando ingles a alguns anos, e apesar de não conseguir me expressar ainda fluentemente no idioma, ouvindo você já compreendo praticamente tudo. Você está de parabéns! Tem boa dicção e produz um bom conteúdo! E depois de assistir seus videos deu até vontade de visitar Fortaleza. Ja estou até vendo os preços de passagens e apartamentos no airbnb ai próximos da beira mar. Ja estive ai a alguns anos atrás e fiquei em um ap quase em frente ao mercado de peixes. É um lugar muito lindo. E em breve quero ir novamente passar pelo menos uns 15 dias nessa cidade maravilhosa! Sucesso pra voce! Um grande abraço!

Brazilian here. It looks really delicious, but I bet they didn't use condensed milk in that bread because it would make the price way more expensive. Maybe just milk and sugar. 🤣🤣🤣

When foreigners think of Brazil, they often only remember Rio de Janeiro, but Brazil has many cities that are better than Rio de Janeiro in several aspects. For example, this city has beautiful beaches and much more modern buildings compared to Rio de Janeiro. While Rio de Janeiro is surrounded by favelas, which can create a lower sense of security, this city, despite being located in the Northeast (frequently considered the most dangerous region in Brazil), generally offers a greater sense of security. Crime is usually confined to the peripheral areas, which are far from the city center and are not as visible as in Rio de Janeiro, where favelas can be seen everywhere-just look at the hills.

[@JorgeRoberto-o9i]

No ranking da violência urbana, nas capitais, Fortaleza ocupa a 5° posição, enquanto o Rio está em 19°, entre as 27. O Rio é um polo atrativo, como SP, de migrantes, e as favelas, em grande parte, é formada por nordestinos, ou descendentes, seus conterrâneos.

[@CapivaroHemosito]

No norte e centro do país há vários pontos turísticos de tirar o fôlego, mas tão pouco conhecido e explorado pelos visitantes estrangeiros e até mesmo pelos próprios brasileiros das demais regiões.

[@yantheus_]

​@@JorgeRoberto-o9i tá precisando pesquisar melhor, favelas são resquícios da escravatura, e elas existem antes da migração regional, não tem nada a ver com nordestinos ou seus descendentes. E vale lembrar, que sim, na teoria Fortaleza é uma cidade perigosa, mas na prática é completamente diferente. Sabemos que muitos cidades omitem dados de crimes pra não assustarem os visitantes, SP e RJ fazem isso. Importante lembrar também que que a violência que assola o Brasil vêm do tráfico e organizações criminosos vindos do sudeste, principalmente do RJ, que se espalharam feito praga pelo Brasil.

18:00, I (and many Brazilians) enjoy "rediscovering" our country through the lens of a foreigner. Why? Because we have this crappy thing known as "complexo de vira-lata". You probably heard that before. We have a collective lousy image of our own nation because we were considered for too long the "leftovers" from Europe. After the colonial period, wealthy Brazilians would send their kids to study abroad to gain some respect. The end of slavery was also a problem that left some scars, racism, political corruption, etc. So when Brazilians talk about Brazil, they carry this baggage of being chill and fun, and muita zoeira, but also the "third world" feeling from being an underdeveloped country. We know that it is just a matter of propaganda, the US is fucked up, but they say "we number one", and carry on. Brazil should do the same, using nature/lifestyle as a theme. But we keep complaining, on and on, Nowon... Now as a gringo, you don't care about all the crap, and you are actually seeing the beauty, the flavours and colours that we just take for granted. Because it is really granted, as blessed as Brazil is. Also, as I live in Canada, I miss home. I hope you can reach people from elsewhere. Fortaleza is amazing, but I fear you will get flooded with BR comments. Get ready!
