Observations from Rio de Janeiro (Part 3)

[@mannyz2496]

I literally didn't want to come back the first time I went there. My mother and best friend had to talk to me about coming back because I was literally ready to start a whole new life there! lol.

[@Aboriginal_American_Hebrew]

Wow awesome

[@ericpowell4350]

Leaving America will do that. You don't realize how much they shit on you until you go overseas and are just a human being.

[@usa_kenyan]

Excellent advice! You are clearly in your element in Brazil. Your love for the place is clearly visible and is very infectious. In fact, if I succeed in finally getting there, you will have played a very important part. My advice to you: save your notes on the computer if they are not already there. And consider writing a travel guide in stages (whenever the mood hits). I think a lot of people will find your feedback very interesting. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

[@djeanpierre]

Good idea. Thanks!

[@A.Anthology]

Yeah, Man, get that 'Travel Guide' as below usa-kenyan commented, you throwing down some cold advice, gotta listen to the other parts you compiled, a must, truly informative, very important, very helpful.

[@Xal1234]

Binge watching your content when I have time. Great content 🙏🏽.

[@globalgogetter4469]

The "magic" is DEFINITELY real. I swear I saw a flying fish one day jump out the water while I was on the beach. It damn near seemed like it jumped out and winked at me (REAL TALK) And its damn sure true about burnout. Its damn near over stimulating the vibe is so great and beautiful . And dont go during carnival. Yo neck and eyes will LITERALLY be hurting. Trust me, you gone quit before they do. They party like NOTHING we have in the states.

[@Jazzmarcel]

My bro’ I hit that like button on your videos even before I watch!.......good content!

[@LyrradSenoj]

I was debating on which country to travel to first. Brazil 🇧🇷 or Colombia 🇨🇴. After watching this 3 part series, I decided that Brazil is the winner. Thank you, Brother.

[@mimib6253]

Been hearing good things about Brazil being better with this lockdown bs oppressing so many other countries recently, aside from the climate I am really loving your channel you lovely lovely man, such fantastic heinz57 style travel type info

[@Mr.freedom_]

Another great one my brother good details thank you keep them coming🤙🏾🤟🏾👏🏾👍🏿

[@squirel_boi715]

Great video. I’m heading to ipanema for a few months for their “winter”, looking to experience the culture and carioca life. Thanks for the tips !

[@ELREYTV]

😂😂😂👍👍 Everything on point. Enjoy this video quite a bit because you were right I did learn a couple of things out of here. But everything else I am part I’ll be there February 20 for three weeks.

[@Thatmandeelyte]

another great video man, i need to get out there asap, these videos are key for a solo traveller like myself!!! keep up with the bangers brotha🔥

[@DelaineIsaacplus]

Back with a banger! I am looking forward to new ground being covered in Brazil.

[@ojjamrock5541]

Enjoy the journey brother. You have put Brazil #1 on my to do list.

[@greglee725]

Thanks for the videos ! Will be there for 2 weeks starting October 29 the info you shared is much appreciated. Would love to buy you a drink

[@f3nomeleven434]

I like how your Br. Português has progressed. Good job bro!!

[@sharky9493]

I cannot thank you enough for the detailed information! The best on yt! I had the same experience in Thailand Pattaya and Malaysia,( I lived there for years) ,mostly had the room to some streets, and even in the 30th floor the noise crawling up, and you here motorcycles, bar music, every where construction, even they work in the nighttime....loud noise aircon, you got consant humming aso! Also fucking hard matrasses! I slept with earplugs for month...got sick, because to less sleep and the noise makes you sick!! This is one of my biggest fears, if I travel to brazil!

[@jaypaladin-havesmartswilll5508]

Blackmen Travel perspective is important because it comes from a person who visits there several times a year and not live there. A lot of us, who are watching your video will only visit Brazil for a week or two and not live there.

[@shadowwalker9203]

Came across your channel a few days ago. Got a new subscriber.

[@djeanpierre]

Welcome

[@jw4111]

Good advice - I’ll put it to use!

[@seasonedswag5702]

Dennis good Vlog, highly informative....

[@cuprentisferguson1105]

Another excellent video. I was talking to a brasileiro on Tandem, and I used the word "rapariga." In my book, it says it means woman. The Brazilian told me not to use it. I asked a brasileira and she said it means "bitch" and started laughing.

[@globalgogetter4469]

Ouch! Good tip.

[@djeanpierre]

Never heard that one...lol

[@laurakrignaaraujo8998]

Rapariga comes from the Portuguese of Portugal, there means a young woman, a teenager. Here because of the rivalry Brazil versus Portugal she became a "bitch".

[@cuprentisferguson1105]

@@laurakrignaaraujo8998 Thanks for the insight. The young mentioned that it was a word in Portugal.

[@Shan_bf]

Loving the video Bro. Wishing I was there it's snowing here in Delaware When will you return to Rio I'll link up next time

[@djeanpierre]

Will be back mid March and again December. I might come back in August if I’m feeling it.

[@patriotallen9717]

Wow that was great. I took careful notes.

[@walterjohnson7050]

Obrigado Dennis once again bro on point observation. I can't wait to get get back. I'm Hype lol

[@bigmitch9487]

Fantastic video...Yes the mangoes that is a community within a community, if you do some freaky shit, they will tell the community about it...lol, lol....so I always be nice to them because I understand their economic situation, it's a tight network.....Keep doing these videos.

[@INTERNATIONALZOE]

Right on Dennis keep going

[@christophertaylor5286]

Great video bro

[@djeanpierre]

Thank you sir

[@Cicero82]

@38:18 That’s my ultimate goal. Either that, a Paulista or a Northeastern Brazilian accent. I want the equivalent of a NYC accent.

[@tomjohnson7115]

What about the internet connections, power or electrical sources .or technology support?

[@JacquesdeBeaufort]

great videos

[@duanemichaelwehrer6905]

Hey bro, love your posts. Do you think I could get an English teaching job in Rio? Keep up the good work

[@djeanpierre]

Yes, if your Portuguese ability is good enough.

[@sharky9493]

They are quite places in Rio, that you can sleep well?

[@royfigueroa9210]

Racism? Believe it or not...I experienced racism in Baton Rouge, at at an italian-Cajun restaurant. 1 table busy, nobody in the restaurant, 3 waitresses just talking...waited for 20 minutes, No service. I left.

[@mitch8131]

Nice videos I've watched a lot of them. Going for a month starting mid November. You mentioned facebook groups for black american brothers but what about us white guys lol. Do you know of any groups? I'm planning to meet like minded guys on the ground and probably some hostels (will probably get a room but not stay there since it's only $10/night). But it'd be great to know of a group I can use to meet people all of races.

[@RandomNPC001]

You know the PBDS that people talk about a lot, that’s what I would translate as “saudade/s”.

[@kalositalos]

God Bless you....!!!

[@ELREYTV]

Denis, I forgot to ask you a question I’ve been there yes a number of times. But do you use a VPN for your computer? Or cell phone? Or do you rent a roaming man device? I purchased one the other year it worked out kind of good and I still had my regular phone. But I don’t want to go through a Lotta switch them a ruse are making phone calls and that and I do use WhatsApp all the time. So do you use that or the other? Does it work out for you? Reynaldo

[@djeanpierre]

I don’t use a VPN. I use WhatsApp to make and receive calls to people that I know here and the few that I talk to regularly in the United States. I contact my cell carrier before I come and let them know I need an international data plan. I try not to complicate things when I come here.

[@cmehustle]

What should I bring out as far as clothes? I’m headed there next month in April.

[@djeanpierre]

Shorts, tanks, T-shirts, flip flops, and gym shoes. 1 Casual shirt, 1 pair of slacks, and casual shoes just in case you need to go somewhere upscale. Jacket and umbrella just in case.

[@cmehustle]

@@djeanpierre rgr bro, thanks for the quick response. So even at night, Im cool with shorts adn a T shirt? And would you recommend not dressing up at all? Im kind of a flashy dude, but I can attempt to dress it down a little.

[@djeanpierre]

@@cmehustle Don’t dress too flashy and don’t rock no jewelry. You don’t want to make yourself a target. I always bring a set of dress clothes just in case but I often end up never wearing them (because of the climate).

[@djeanpierre]

Not many people dress up in Rio when they go out like they do in the States, so you really don’t have to “dress to impress”.

[@cmehustle]

@@djeanpierre rgr that big bro. Much appreciated, and cant wait to get out there and experience the life! Thanks for the vids!

[@TuscanWonder]

Uber driver just went silent on me when I couldn't type into translator fast enough

[@djeanpierre]

😂

[@globalgogetter4469]

Bruh, you ever been to Bangu? If not you should check it out. When I was there scores of people was literally coming to the house of the family that took me in to see and meet me.

[@djeanpierre]

Nah never been there.

[@globalgogetter4469]

​@@djeanpierre Check it out. It's about 45 mins outside of Rio. People so down to earth and chill on another level. I met a Black family from there. In fact they caught the bus from Bangu to come get me from Rio and took me back there. They took me in and the rest was history.

[@mikerob1471]

How long did it take you to learn Portuguese and where did you learn from?

As long as the other person has the app, yes.

[@allanleigh4236]

Do they have health food store like Whole Foods in Rio ?

[@djeanpierre]

I’m not sure

[@acucarkid]

Yes, there are natural foods stores in Rio.

[@allanleigh4236]

@@acucarkid I wanted to know specifically if those stores sell the same herbs and protein powders that are sold in Whole Foods

Do we need a visa how do we get it if so

No visa needed

[@slade1446]

@Dennis, Are you fluent in Portuguese?

No but I'm getting there

[@cjheru9]

Are you going to Bahia? Heaven on Earth is what I experienced there!!!

[@djeanpierre]

Yesssss

[@Cicero82]

@28:23 Gotta change that POV. Sandals aren’t gay at all. Why would Nike, Jordan and Adidas make them? Not gay, but not homophobic at all. We as a people gotta change that mindset. We’re infinity better than that. Other than that, can’t wait to see your travels outside of Rio.

[@mrmar-que6307]

That's a hard no on the flip-flops buddy.lol

How difficult is it to get by if you do not know the language at all?

[@djeanpierre]

You can get by if you stay in the tourist area for short periods of time, but you're limited. Pulling out your phone all the time gets tiresome.

[@djeanpierre]

@@mrrojas12 the White women over in Leblon behave socially like White women in the States, meaning they only associate with Whites or near-Whites. They generally aren’t checking for brothers.

would it be more dangerous for white young blond hair guy in Brazil. I really wanna get myself a Brazilian chick but im worrying about safety.

[@djeanpierre]

Just stay in the upscale areas and out of the favelas and you’ll be fine. Brazilian women love blond hair and blue eyes.

[@wilsonvieiramatiasmatias9945]

o seu pais , Estados Unidos , na America do Norte , tambem tem os seus problemas social e de segurança, porem a insegurança esta em todos os lugares do Mundo , e cada um tem as suas dificuldades ok ((your coutry the United States, in North America, also has its social and security problems, but insecurity is everywhere in the world, and everyone has their difficulties ),ok

Of course, that goes without saying, but people who are new to Brazil need to know certain things.

[@rahkeemthegreat360]

💯

[@royceteaches]

Racism is surely in Brazil. Consider the poor customer service you receive as a sign of it. It’s a resentment of seeing someone Black with resources. Some don’t like that.
