My first 24 hours in BRAZIL was insane!!!

[@BlooDMF]

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.

[@dce3190]

And did you notice that Ashley had nothing to say about that?

O problema do brasileiro é que é um povo analfabeto e vota em ladrão cachaceiro e condenado

[@felipejose4579]

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.

As a Brazilian who also lived abroad for 25yrs and came back to Brazil, I say please stay there. Visit your family and friends, but please do not move back. I understand nostalgia, but the country is not fixable. The same problems are just getting worse on a daily basis! Brazil never misses a chance to miss a chance to grow and move forwards!

The match that was taking place at the time was between Flamengo and Atlético-MG and it was the final of the Copa do Brasil ("Brazil Cup"), so it has a lot of local importance.

[@ashleykourtney4098]

@@samil5601 I wonder how it was 22 years ago

[@samil5601]

@@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?

[@ashleykourtney4098]

@ that’s so cool omg! Did you speak Portuguese? Because a lot of people in Brazil do not speak English, I am lucky enough to have google translate and duo lingo haha. I am staying for 4 months, so I’ll be here for new years and carnival! 🇧🇷

[@fishgui]

I'm from Belo Horizonte (a must visit city here in Brazil) and every time I was in Rio and in Books Hostel I made a friend! Enjoy your travel in Brazil and, if it's possible, try to visit all the five main regions that we have.

[@ashleykourtney4098]

What are the 5 main regions ? 🌸

[@fishgui]

@@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. I know Brazil it's huge and it's hard to visit all these places, but perhaps on future trips you might consider going to these other regions as well. Love your video, btw.

[@ashleykourtney4098]

@@Yoits1992 Hey, I really appreciate this perspective. As a first-time visitor-and as someone from Kenya, where I’ve seen my share of hardships-I understand that life here in Rio is complex, with real struggles alongside the beauty. I’m sharing my initial experiences from a fresh perspective, and while I know there’s so much more beneath the surface, I’m genuinely drawn to the energy and beauty of this place. Thanks for helping to keep the conversation real

[@nsanmia]

That´s not the real Brazil. That´s the reality of the World we live in. 89% of all Brazilian Cities and counties don´t have one single Favela. Just because you´ve been to Rio doesn´t mean you know anything about Brazil.
