Images of Brazil


The aim of this report is to present what is popular in Brazil. Via E-mail, we interviewed Maxi´s uncle, who is actually living in Brazil. The questions concerned food, free time activities, sports and music.



Findings:

Food:

The most tipical food in Brazil is a dish called "Arroz com feijao", which means "Rice and Beans". It´s present in every meal at every home, and also in most of the restaurants you can see it in the menu during lunch time... It´s serve during lunch because it´s a very caloric dish and it´s not advisable to serve at dinner time.

Another classic dish there is what it´s called "feijoada", which is basically a mixture of beans, rice and some differents parts of the pork...

For brazilians, the "feijoada" is like the stew for the argentinians.



Free Time:

Of course, football is the preferred hobby or sport in Brazil, but it depends on what part of the country you are considering. You can find some other popular hobby or sports, like surfing, in cities like Rio De Janeiro or Florianopolis. In the case of Maxi´s uncle, his favourite hobby is playing tennis. When he has some free time you can find him playing tennis at the "Esporte Clube Pinheiros" in Sao Paulo.



Sport:

As I wrote in the previous paragraph,the most popular sport in Brazil is football...and you can find it in many different versions:the classical mode,the futsal mode or the beach football mode.



Music:

Brazil has a very big variety of music. Amond the most popular music styles you can find MPB(Musica Popular Brasileira)

You can find also other music styles like Samba, especially in Rio and Sao Paulo during carnival festivities, and axe in the north east of the country.



Conclusion:
The most surprising aspect of the report is that you can have a million of friends in Brazil but friendship is more superficial there.
