Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
I’ve lived in both Los Angeles and Switzerland and this is almost word for word this same experience as me (Los Angeles = Rio, Switzerland = Finland)
Yes I live in Los Angeles coming from Michigan and I see the same pattern
Rio is BR’s LA for sure
Sounds like Los Scandalous Shitfornia to Me…..
I live in Finland!😊
and yes, in here it’s rude to be late and if u plan something you always go on time there or if u cant make it re-schedule it in good time. 😁
For better or worse, Atlanta in a lot like Rio. That’s why I’m moving to Europe.
I feel so bad for you, but hey, good luck in europoor land!
We say what we mean and mean what we say 🤷 You’re much welcomed bro! 🙏🇸🇪
@@Muahaha651we have the richest gdp per capita and you all pay for ambulances 🤡🤡 wa wa
Don’t go anywhere near Spain, then
No. Don,t come to europe , go to australia or canada
I love our eastern europe (finnish too) straighttotgepointness
also in east Germany☝️
@@Jean-Jaures East Germans are better at irony
Finland is not east. It’s North. Northern Europe have their own culture apart from the east.
@@Wenixiit’s similar to Lithuanian culture
@@IbrahimAlwarthan ok reading the comments maybe it is eastern thing 😁 and Finland is part of that culture. As Lithuania.
“come to my house” but don’t come to my house 😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️ stupidity
It’s Mexican language…😅😅
@@ivajloberberov1732We don’t speak mexican in Brazil
In the UK people say “let’s keep in touch…”
They never have any intention of keeping in fkng touch
@@ivajloberberov1732 it’s also in Mexico like this? 🤦♂️
@@caio5987 so why they say it? Can’t say goodbye only?
I actually loathe the type of people she described. No concern for your time and will deceive you to your face and think they are being nice by doing it.
It depends. I have been late very often, when i say i am coming at 5pm, i will be there 100% but might be like 5:30.
It’s called the ‘jeitinho brasileiro’ or ‘the little Brazilian way’.
Rio is
Awful
Black people time. (That’s the nice way to put it, that won’t get deleted)
It’s her perception. There could be more to the story. For example if she refuses to learn Portuguese, people will not be able to communicate well with you.
She is cool!
I agree people respect time in Scandinavian countries totally different. You have to be patient the thinking is quite different or the culture I might say.
Beautiful English skills.
All Nordic countries start studying English from 3rd grade. It’s part of the curriculum and a major part of our education program. If you don’t pass English, math and whatever the national language you have (depending on what country we are in) you can not advance your education to high school or university level
@@kingdt903We are also exposed to movies, TV shows, music and video games in English without dubbing from a very early age so most kids already have a fairly good understanding of English or at least basic skills when starting 3rd grade. Which is a huge advantage when learning the language
@@joseantoniogalante897
Most of the people in the World do not speak English.
@@kingdt903 Actually it was changed to start foreig language at 1st grade. Most choose english.
She is totally right. We(Brazilians) don’t like to be rude, so we try to be nice as much as we can, even tho its a small talk.
Doctors(Specially paid ones)are pain in the butt.
It’s not being nice it’s being bull 💩
Makes sense kinda. In Finland, and at least in Nothern Europe we show respect by not giving false promises, and being on time. Probably in middle Europe and east too. South Europe is a chaos lol.
Try to be nice…. Try ?
Either your are nice or you a have false personality 😂 your choice 😂
@@munteza9262 you’re wrong, sometimes the best we can do is not enough to other people, human being is not math
@@ThiagoMnab not enough.. or do not make a effort for it…
I don’t understand how she can’t say a single strictly positive thing about the place yet she lived there for 18 years
Peoples live where they find more suitable for themselves. The fact that she lives 18 years in rio, that said a lot she prefers it rather than finland. May be the weather is her biggest concern.
She didn’t say the things were good or bad. Just that she had to get used to them.
Most likely married with kids now, can’t leave
it is a short dude, no time
She was asked what was difficult to get used to. You usually don’t have difficulty to get used to things because they’re just too good.
That “nice small talk” is a way of showing respect even in some asian countries and you can figure out which ones really mean come to my house after some time. If your culture doesn’t have it doesn’t mean u can disrespect it. Like i didnt disrespect German’s piercing my heart with their way of talking when i went there. Its just about culture diffrences.
piercing your heart? how?
@@pinkunicorn7426Germans don’t care for anybody lol
One thing that almost everyone does is to think a country and a city/region is the same thing. Rio is too slow and late even for me. Other regions are not Scandinavia but are much more punctual. People in São Paulo and Minas are pretty decently on time.
I went to a dentist in Ipanema and he was on time and made an excellent job.
I hope people don’t take the lack of genuineness in Rio as an example for the rest of the country, where it is the exact opposite. I feel as if this is mostly true in all the big metropolises in the world though.
I know both Finnish and Brazilian people. They’re kind of opposites 😀
“I don’t actually have to mean what i say here” 😂 Everyone just talking sh!t 😂
She just described Ireland
I worked in Ireland for a while. The answer was always “ah sure, look… It’ll be grand”. I loved this outside of the work place… As a yank, it killed me in the office 😂
@@urban_coyotethose where probily Dubs you where dealing with😅the are full of sh1t
She totally nailed it! As a Brit living here 🇧🇷, those are the two worst things.
People pretend to be your friend when you first meet. Then you never hear from them again. 😢😢😢😮
My time in Brazil was the same. You have to add a couple of hours on to your appointment… It’s mind numbing. But I still love the country and people ❤
Thanks😍😍❤️❤️.
@@sabrynatenorio no need to thank me 😊 thank you
@@davidyasss3484In anything.
