Foreigners Reveal BIGGEST Culture Shocks in Brazil (Rio)

View Comments

• Hey everyone - I couldn't unfortunately get myself to Rio, so I had my assistant and now co-host Leah take on the interviewee role.
  What did you think about the video? Is Rio de Janeiro for you?

  • Amazing❤

  • Love it and everything is true

  • the tall finish girl is racist

  • We'll done ❤

  • I like the girl who's holding the microphone ❤🎉

• I am married to a German .He loves Brazil and knows the differences that we have over here; all our states;accents, culture,the way of living. The problem is that the video was all about Rio and foreigners living there.I truly like Rio but comparing to Germany (my second home) Rio is the Koln , Frankfurt is São Paulo and Munich is Belo Horizonte. We have more than one state here,so don’t generalize a Country just by one state.

  • Mano, sobre qual aspecto Belo Horizonte seria equivalente a Munique? kk

    E São Paulo parece mais uma mistura de Berlin com Frankfurt, pra ser preciso.

  • ​@@jvctr5977Brazilian living in Germany here. "Sobre qual aspecto Munique seria equivalente a BH?" My thoughts exactly 😅 Also I think they made really clear that they are talking about Rio. South Zone to be more specific, where most expats live.

  • Actually, I'd say São Paulo is Berlin

  • rio its amazing but i weill nevwer go there i live in Joinville SC i prefer São Paulo but brazil its all amazing just have to have money to lknow al the places

  • @@jvctr5977 Vc entendeu o que ela quis dizer não se faça de louco

• The finnish lady with the black dress said that brazilians date multiple people at the same time it's quite strange to me... i've lived in Scandinavia and especially in the capitals like Copenhagen or Stockholm young people and young adults date multiple people so much more than brazil.

  • What she said was a bit exaggerated... There are people who do this in Brazil, but generally not everyone

  • That's very true so I laughed derisively when she mentioned that and I live in Stockholm. It was complete BS.

  • She defined Brazil based on slutty Brazilian women and womanizing Brazilian men.

  • If she is in Rio, the problem is the liberal people. If she moved to inner Middle-West cowboy culture or South Brazil, the problem would be that people are too much traditional and conservative 🤨

  • ​@@luisamaria3068In Rio there are also conservative and traditional people. And in the south there are also womanizers and sluts.

• You should interview people in other places than Rio.

  • but thats the most likely place she will find foreigners for her foreigner culture shock videos. other places are not as touristy.

  • ​@@gliboperuta9213There are several other places that have a lot of foreigners Sao Paulo, Northeast, South

  • Definitely no! There are lots of gringos in Santa Catarina and in states of Northeast.@@gliboperuta9213

  • Yes Acre and Amapá

  • i never heard about these places. everyone in the world knows rio and the world famous copacabana beach and christ the redeemer. so naturally all tourists who wish to travel to brazil go to the most famous tourist place of brazil because rio is the postcard of brazil and people love that place the most. second most known place for tourists is sao paolo but its not as touristy as rio. other then these 2 places people in the world dont know much else of brazil, they think everything else is just jungle of amazon forrest. i know brazilian people are probably little bit frustrated because they have more beautiful places that they want to show to people but its just how things are in the world. i also live in a country that has only 2 famous places people visit when they in my country and other places which are in my opinion even more beautiful dont exist on their radar. its how people are, they heard or read about how cool some location is from other people and they go there just to say they been there too because its cool location. but safety is also important so these places with lots of tourism are safer then others because governments make sure to not lose tourism revenue from people flocking in to safe cool famous destinations.

• Giys!!! This is just Rio!! Brazil is verrry diverse

  • Rio just one of the most criminalized cities in the world where if you want to stay alive you need to walk in a group and not go beyond the tourist area. I will go there only when I get tired of living, just like in India

  • ​@@botlfpxfonte?

  • Favelas everywhere

  • ​@@botlfpx😂😂

  • ​​@@botlfpx I've heard many stupid hateful opinions about Rio before but your opinion is the most stupid of all. If you don't know something don't say anything. Stay with your hate where you are.

• Very true. As a Brazilian it also pisses me off how people are late to stuff. It's so disrespectful. Regarding the idea of not making real friends it's misunderstood. It's just that we are nice to people we don't know. It doesn't mean we are BFFs. We are just happy people who enjoy other people's companies and sharing experiences. That doesn't mean we developed some deep friendship. It simply means we are not a cold dismissive people. The true friendship will develop as time goes on and bonds strengthen. But we won't give you the cold treatment just because we just met. I think people are too used to that in Europe. Same thing with men who think Brazilian women fancy them when in reality we are just friendlier and more open. More open doesn't mean open legs. That being said, the region of Brazil also affects the experience. People in Rio are quite extreme when it comes to what is said in the video for sure. In fact, when people from Rio come to my state (Espírito Santo) they think we are cold and unfriendly.

  • It is not normal to be late in Brazil. It is wrong to be late in Brazil

  • We do not consider it disrespectful, so if you are in another culture it is up to you to adapt.

  • Eu acho o capixaba um povo muito simpático e legal

  • @NightOwl_30 I have to agree. Punctuality is about valuing other people’s time. To value other people’s time and schedule and the fact they have other things to do in their day is a universal sign of respect. If people agree to meet at a specific time, unless something unforeseen happens, that is the time they should meet, because one never knows what else that person needs to do in their day.

  • @@davidelliott1594 In Brazil, it's only nowadays that people are understanding the value of people's time.

    TRUE STORY: my mom had an appointment for a surgery. The doctor (who barely smiled and acted very cold) told her to be at the hospital at 7:00 AM. The guy arrived at 7:30 AM. My mom even joked to break the ice: "hey doctor, you kinda missed the time didn't you!" He DID NOT apologize; he scolded her saying "EXCUSE ME! I am a human being! I needed to eat a proper breakfast before a hard day's work. So a few minutes late is not bad! BE CONSIDERATE!"

• I've failed as a Brazilian. I'm an introvert who doesn't know how to dance nor playing soccer.

  • Same here 😅. I can't stand samba, hate the heat, Carnival and beer. I can also live without the beach.

  • Congrats on reproducing stereotypes!

  • @@louiseleite3866 The foreigners does not can imagine that the biggest part of brazil does not has beaches

  • ​@@luisamaria3068True.

  • hahahahah

• Finland more nature than Brazil 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  • AMAZON

  • It’s true. You’re just ignorant

  • 😂😂😂😂

  • Brazil is the only country that has every biome in the world in just one country and she said that bs 🤣🤣🤣

  • @@Atheonnz Her Brazilian boyfriend cheated on her and she got mad at the country. Only explanation

• I'm from Poland and I love Brazil very much, I've been there several times and it's a unique country in the world, I really like Curitiba, Rio de Janeiro and regions like Goiás and Minas Gerais. They are cool and beautiful places, I found the interview with the woman from England and Finland very interesting. It's very impressive that a person from England complains about the way they dress, since in England many girls go out into the street almost naked in the cold 😂, well, it seems that the woman from Finland doesn't know her country to talk about nature, it was It's very funny that she said not to trust Latinos and her 2 children, hers are Latino, it's a bit hypocritical I think 😂, I've been to Colombia and the way women dress isn't very different, not to mention that in Colombia women offer sex on the street out of nowhere. I think the country is much more conservative than Colombia, this interview for me was just prejudice and hypocrisy from the interviewees, Brazil is a unique country and rich in many things and for me the real country is not Rio de Janeiro nor the big capitals more yes, the countryside and the cities where you see the true culture and friendliness of the people and security and I have been to many countries in South and North America on the continent there are only two countries that have the capacity to be powers, the United States and Brazil I recommend countries to get to know the real Brazil but not Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo, a hug to all Brazilians🙂🇵🇱❤

  • A hug my friend, long live Brazil and Poland 🇧🇷❤🇵🇱

  • Welcome to Brazil.

  • @@V1CTOR07 Thank you you have a beautiful country ☺️❤️

  • @@sabrynatenorio thanks☺️❤️

  • ​@@LudwigFrederickTetzlaff In anything😍😍❤️❤️.

• The lady from Finland said that there's more nature in Finland than in Brasil. Seriously?

  • Yes... what a stupid statement. She's really ignorant

  • And the Colombian woman talking about bikinis? hahah

  • Essa mulher esculachou o Brasil. Não sei pq vive aqui.
    Reclamou dos horários, da confiabilidade dos brasileiros, disse que a praia é muito cheia, suja, e que as florestas não são seguras de frequentar.

  • @@marcosantos4395 mas no sério, ela mentiu em algo? Sou brasileiro e confirmo tudo, apesar de não gostar de gringos falando mal daqui.
