Brazil
is a country with continental sizes. It's bigger
than Europe and it occupies an area superior to
8 million square kilometers. Our capital is Brasilia
and it's a planned city constructed in the early
60s.We are the 5th largest country in the world
with one of the top 5 bigest cities, Sao Paulo with
over 18 million people.
Rio de Janeiro is one of the most famous postcards-cities
around the world and has one of the most famous
music ever "Girl of Ipanema". Brazil is
the country of Carnival, of beautiful beaches, of
the Amazon Forests, of happiness. I live in the
third largest city of Brazil called Belo Horizonte
with over 2 million people. It was the first planned
city of Brazil and counts with lot's of green spaces.
It's the meeting place for those who want to discover
the old historical villages of Ouro Preto, Mariana,
Sabará and Diamantina which are located just
a few hours by car from the city centre.
Depending of the place where you go in Brazil, you
will find a different cuisine. In the South it's
influenced by the German colonization and so had
got traces of german food, in thr South East a mixture
of Italian, Japanese, Chinese food but in Minas
Gerais the authentic unique food of the "country"
. In Bahia the influence of African food makes a
delicious and exotic taste.
The climate in Brazil is just perfect. It's warm
all over the year, with hot summers and cool winters.
The temperature is rarely beside 35 and rarely below
5. It rarely snows in the south of Brazil, so Brazil
has lot's of different climates. Our cuisine is
unique, each region of the country you go to, you
can find a different type of culinary and different
types of food. Brazil is a multi racial culture,
there is a mixture of all cultures in a only land:
Europeans, Africans, Americans and Asians. Well,
Brazil is that, be sure it's lot's more than you
think.
In summary, I'm proud of The Natural Beauty, the
people's warmth, the variety of cultures in Brazil.
