Preface
Brazil is the largest country in South America, with abundant natural resources, mountains, seas and rainforests, and the people here are warm and vibrant, and if you are lucky enough to meet a Brazilian, it will be a big and enthusiastic carnival.
My colleague loved the cultural atmosphere, the people were free, the streets were full of laughter, so she set out on a journey to Brazil to experience the cultural differences between it and China!
Humanistic customs
The festival that best embodies the warm and cheerful character of Brazilians is the Brazilian Carnival, which is known as one of the greatest performances in the world.
When the carnival comes, the local people will wear brightly colored costumes and experience this festival with the thousands of people who are also holding high the banner of freedom and peace.
At this time, people took off their shackles and danced freely to the dynamic music, the graffiti people on the side of the city walls, the colorful costumes, and the passionate beating notes all expressed the enthusiasm and momentum of Brazilians for life.
My colleague had the privilege of attending such a grand and intoxicating carnival, and at first she was a little inhibited, but when she saw the indulgence of the Brazilians around her, she quickly blended in and forgot about her life's troubles for a while.
My colleague recalls that from the moment she first set foot on the land, she felt the hospitality of the local people, from passers-by to shopkeepers, who always had a friendly smile on their faces.
In a prosperous neighborhood or in the countryside, there is a certain income gap, and they will not hesitate to show their kindness even in the face of strangers.
People here are full of energy, and after school Xi or work, they will come to the brightly lit community or square, a group of like-minded people get together, singing and dancing, playing games, and doing sports, such a casual atmosphere makes many people who go to travel feel unprecedented warmth and release.
Brazil, as a country that has won the championship on the stage of Miss World selection, can be described as a country full of beautiful women, and there are many men who go to travel or work to develop and want to marry a Brazilian beauty back home.
Most Brazilian women pursue a bumpy figure, often go to the gym to exercise, pay great attention to their appearance and temperament, and are the kind of beauty that is unforgettable at a glance.
Most of them have deep eyes, high nose bridges, full and sexy lips, and their side faces are still "resistant" with three-dimensional facial features, exuding a youthful and beautiful temperament without losing feminine charm.
Even if they have peerless looks and slender figures, most of them are not material women, but have no complaints about housework, and they are hardworking and capable, not only have the beauty of a mature woman, but also have the virtue of a man who wants to marry home.
And in the process of falling in love with a Brazilian woman, you don't have to feel inferior because of the big difference between the appearance or family background of the two parties, they are more likely to look at whether a man can have a strong physique, whether he is self-motivated and responsible.
But can you accept Brazil's marriage laws if you follow China's monogamous system? Brazil is a diverse country that is open enough to think that they can be together as long as they love each other.
Although monogamy is still written in the mainstream of Brazilian society, there are still many people who choose to live in polygamy, believing that having multiple partners can increase their happiness in life.
According to statistics, women can have an average of up to 15 partners in their lifetime, and nearly 20,000 men have more than two or more wives.
Xi of life
Brazil is a laid-back country, where people yearn for a free, "vacation-like" life, so Brazilians don't have a clear sense of time.
They don't care if they will be late for the agreed time, and even think that being late is a sign of politeness, because it will make the other party think that you are not urging him to do something, but have the same concept of wanting to enjoy life.
If you travel to Brazil and make an appointment with a friend, and you arrive at the meeting point and ask the other person, the other party says that they will be there soon, then you must take it with a grain of salt, do not believe it easily, maybe the other party will need a certain amount of time to arrive.
Brazilians have an attitude towards life at this point, and they don't feel ashamed or anxious about being late for the agreed time.
Compared with Chinese people, they attach great importance to the importance of the concept of time, whether in school or in the workplace, all kinds of meetings in life should be on time as much as possible.
If the other person is a senior or you have a request for someone, the best way is to arrive early, be prepared to speak when you meet, and show up early on some formal occasions to make people feel your respect and politeness.
Brazil has a special law that allows prisoners in prison to have their sentences reduced by four days, up to a maximum of almost 50 days a year, by reading a book and writing a report.
This law is obviously intended to enable prisoners to improve their cultural literacy by reading books in prison, cultivate happiness in the ocean of knowledge, and then change their thinking and way of dealing with the world.
This law is well-known around the world, and most people praise it as not only guiding prisoners to cultivate their minds, but also reducing the pressure on prison staff and prison expenses.
Brazil's pension system is also very friendly, with men and women retiring at the age of 65 and 60 respectively with a full pension on the basis of 15 years of contributions.
Moreover, as long as the contribution period of men reaches 30 years and women reach 25 years, they can retire early at the legal age respectively and enjoy the fun of old-age pension.
As one of the strongest football teams in the world, Brazilian football also has a glorious history, and the wonderful performance in the World Cup has made many locals crazy.
Gastronomic beauty
Brazilian barbecue is one of the world's most popular dishes, and they cut a variety of pork, beef and other ingredients into large pieces and spread various marinades before they are still roasted.
In the process of skewering meat, in order to relieve the greasy, some vegetables or fruits are added to it, and it is also necessary to pay great attention to the heat when grilling.
When roasting beef, like most countries, they don't cook the beef very well, maybe it is about 7 medium rare or there is still blood, but they all think that the meat will have a rich taste at this time.
In addition to the delicious barbecue, Brazilians also like to grill a variety of fruits, fish, etc., and the aroma is hot and chewy, which is very much in line with the Brazilian personality.
Brazil is also one of the world's largest coffee countries, and Brazilian coffee is loved by locals and people everywhere for its smooth taste and aroma.
Most of the coffee beans in Brazil are of high quality, rich and mellow in taste, and are often used in the sun-drying or semi-washing method, for Brazilians, coffee is not just an ordinary drink, but also a way for people to enjoy life.
On the contrary, Chinese people prefer milk tea and various drinks, and some older people prefer to taste various teas after meals and talk about what to drink when they get together.
Coconut milk prawns are also one of the most common dishes served in various local food and beverage outlets, where coconut milk and prawns are combined to make a thick soup.
After that, it can be served with rice, and it can be eaten with a variety of greasy and pleasing side dishes such as ham and lemon according to your dietary preferences, or as a snack on its own.
