Brazil, my favorite European country
That's funny, but to be fair the video is stereotypes that Europeans are too afraid to ask; it's not necessarily about Europeans.
🤭🤭🤭🤭
🤣🤣🤣
@@jlpack62 But Brazil is literally in Europe
Brazil has a province called Portugal that speaks brazilian that borders Spain
Brazil: Mythical place of european legend (Hy-Brazil)
France has the largest border with Brazil (google it)
Brazil is also neighbour of the british isles (the falklands)
Rio was the first european capital out of Europe (1810-1821)
Rio is literally the Atlantis, is located in the Atlantic and also has a mountain like that paintings of the Fall of Rome (corcovado).
So yeah, Brazil is Europe 🇧🇷=🇪🇺

I'm from Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state in Brazil, and I'm 4,500 km away from the Amazon. It's the same driving distance from Paris to Jerusalem. It's not really a weekend trip.
@@LEUSINHO May I ask if you are from the Brazilian state of Cisplatina?
@@NinjaSnow There is no Brazilian state of Cisplatina. The old Cisplatina is now the country called Uruguay.
@@mbarros3078 I see you didn't get to read the comment I've replied. I know, about Uruguai, I am from the southern region of Brazil

Even for those who live in the Amazon region in Brazil, the Amazon is not a daily part of people's lives. I'm from a city in the Amazon and I don't see people worrying about that.😅
There's an English saying "What the eye doesn't see. The heart doesn't grieve over". In one Brazilian state 400sq Mile's has been cleared to grow Soy in last 10 yrs. 80% for cattle ranching. Illegal fires are started to clear forest. Estimated by 2060s Rain forest will be gone.
I think for ribeirinhos maybe it might be, but yeah, not in big cities lol.
@@roddbroward9876 I think the ribeirinhos are more concerned about catching their fish and their food. Amazon rainforest is more a government stuff. People in the Amazon use instagram, Netflix, they like to go to the movies... just like everywhere else...

@@emotionalIntelligence2078 what?
Oh my God 😂 Every time someone sees a Brazilian, they come up with this question about whether we see wild animals in the Amazon rainforest... No, Brazil is not just the Amazon rainforest. Here the country has such a huge territory that it covers all climates: hot, cold, temperate and so on. Even in winter, some parts of the south of the country tend to have snow, not like in other countries but we still have snow and frost too...
Mesmo assim a Amazônia se expande por quase 60% do território nacional (mto tbm em razão do próprio Estado do Amazonas que é realmente gigante). Então sendo o Brasil um país enorme e essa floresta ocupando mais da metade dele, eu não posso condenar os gringos por suporem isso. Por outro lado eu tbm posso imaginar que a maioria da população do BR sequer pisou na Amazônia ou no Amazonas em si, que é o Estado mais famoso por onde essa floresta passa. 🤔
@@spettacolososognatore3909 isso é, eu mesma nunca fui pra lá embora tenha duas amigas que moram lá

The Brazilian waxing was created in 1987 in New York by 7 sisters from Brazil, it was made by Brazilians, but not in Brazil
cap
Yes!
I guess common everyday things here don’t get a name until it is popularized in the US, so they feel they are invented elsewhere, it kind of becomes a brand when it gets there like: Brazilian Blowout, Brazilian Butt Lift and Brazilian Wax.
Here people would only describe these things in broader term like
Vou alisar o cabelo/fazer progressiva, vou por bunda, me depilar.
That's the kind of information I pay my internet bill every month. Thank you.
Algo que eu descobri recentemente é que a Limonada Suíça na verdade é brasileira, e os gringos tão fazendo tiktoks de como fazer a "brazilian lemonade" que na verdade aqui é a limonada suíça XD
@@FallenLight0 É que o Brasileiro é vira lata, então alguém teve a ideia de por o nome de outros países nas comidas e bebidas pro povo comprar, existe diversas coisas aqui assim.
Assuming every Brazilian lives close to the Amazon is like saying every American live close to Alaska or every Australian lives on the Outback. No, a small portion of the population lives close to the Amazon, most people live very far away from it on the coastline.
I am gobsmacked that we have come to the point that curry has become a national dish of UK.
Serbian and Brazilian girl were the best
Yep. No more Steak and Kidney pie, Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, Cornish pasty, Shepard's pie ...
I’m Polish and I’m such a Draga stan it’s unreal. I loved her personality and "to the point" attitude.
brazilian waxing was invented in Brazil during the 70s, due the micro bikinis that bazilian women like to use, in the 80s, a brazilian woman named Janea Padilha, with her 6 sisters started a salon in New York offering this kind of waxing, and americans named the procedure "brazilian waxing" but in Brazil pepole know as "hair removal by hot wax"
@@xohyuu i never ever seen anyone doing this, but you can try...
Amazon rainforest for brazilians it's like Siberia for russians, too far and exotic. Just like Laponic/suomi region in Sweden/Finland or maybe Highlands of Scotland for brits. Most brazilians (more than 80%) live in the coastline or nearby.
It was an 800 pound gorilla in s room, kind of question😁 Yeah,Amazon it larger than life, it's rainforest supplies our planet with more than 30% of oxygen but Brazilians don't want to talk about it. Just because it's alligator and piranhas infested, and you can't wear your Brazilian micro bikini or even get there early.
@@waldemarusmc3191 the Amazon rainforest only collaborates with 1% of the planet's oxygen. It consumes 99% of what it produces.
@@waldemarusmc3191 The funny thing about the Amazon that people tend to ignore is that while it does produce a huge chunk of the oxygen in the planet, it also consumes it in basically the same proportion, so it's pretty much a net zero contribution overall. It's still very important for various other reasons though.
@@roddbroward9876
Exactly.
We still need to preserve it from illegal logging in order to keep its biological diversity. But they should not use the oxygen process speech recklessly - moreover, considering seaweeds contribute a lot more to our production of oxygen than the rainforest.
@@waldemarusmc3191 Brazilians don't want to talk about it?? There is no one more interested in the Amazon than Brazilians. We are much more interested in the Amazon than foreigners who think they know eveything about it because they read two or three headines.
Just love the difference in stereotypes:
For European countries it's all "oh, do you have a bit of a temper? Are all people blonde with blue eyes? Is your language like this other language"
For Brasil it's like: "HEY! ARE YOU A JUNGLE PERSON FROM THE FOREST? ARE YOUR PETS WILD ANIMALS? DO YOU USE ANIMALS AS INFRA-STRUCTURE LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE?"
Colonialism at its finenest...
Well, during my exchange in the US I was asked if in Poland we: have electricity, cars, SHOPS (my fav one), speak Russian, have ice (for drinks lol) and so on
And ofc stereotypes that we are racist, job stealers, gangsters etc

Dude , Im from Sweden , they ask the same thing , of course we respond "yeah we get our pet icebears at 15" its not related to kolonialism
"Coloniasm at it's finest"... hrmm, what is meant by this. Are you inferring that without coloniasm these people would literally be riding monkeys instead of cars or what? Because that's semi-true.

Most part of the Amazon is in the North of the country, and a bit on Center-west and a small proportion in Northeast. And in most places there are developed cities, though in North the weather is umid, hot and even rainy in some seasons. Brazil has 6 biomes. Amazônia (North and like I said, part of Center-west and Northeast), Caatinga (Northeast) that is semi-arid, Pampa (part of South) , Mata Atlântica (Southeast and east coast of Northeast) and Cerrado (part of South). Some hills in South and Southeast in Brazil may snow in winter. In Northeastern hills we may have some fog in winter. In São paulo you can have the 4 seasons in a day. Our country is huge and so our diversity in culture and nature. Not even Carnaval is the only way you are used to know/see.
Cerrado is present is most of the center-west region. It's the main biome in the capital and a big chunk of Goias and Minas.
idk, man our fog isn't restricted to winter. Generally early in the mornings (like 4-5am) you can barely see the buildings. It depends on altitude and temperature.
Anna’s accent is simply perfect!

Difference between Vodka and Slivovitz is that u use Slivovitz not only as drink but also as medicine 😀
In Poland we also have Slivovitz. Or Śliwowica, this is how we call it. Most famous, Łącka Śliwowica, is known from quality, despite fact is techcaly illigal 😉
@@Bzhydack so u from Poland call Slivovitz same as us Serbs haha we call it Šljivovica, different writing but same word.

Not sure how not offering food to guests have anything to do with being poor or rich…Most south and south east European (Balkan) countries where and still are poor yet they will always feed you!
yes but most swedes i think were a bit thrown by "the scandal" so no one knows why that has been and may be the way still in some homes. But you should check out some comments above.
Yeah, it's mostly the other way around. People didn't wanna show that they were poor and didn't wanna seem like they couldn't feed their own children by letting them get food somewhere else. But when I grew up I never experienced that you would be left in a room while your friend had dinner because we all had dinner with our families around the same time, so if we were at a friends and it was dinner-time we all went home and had dinner with our own family. Of course if it was a longer planned stay over at a friend's we got fed but for spontaneous going over to a friend's house we just went home when it was time for food.

@@assim2213 Yes, I was surprised to hear that only 2% of people have greeen and 8% blue eyes, globally. If you google it actually the more North "Western" that you go in Europe, wheremore exotic colours are the case, not the centre, or eastern side of Northern Europe. Not necessarily blonde hair, but certainly Predomiinantly green, or blue eyes in UK, Icelandic and Irish natives; 86% apparently😮 . A much smaller percentage of brown eyes there.

After a couple snoozers, World Friends comes back with an actually interesting video. Liked it very much!
Of course we serve guests food. Where this whole "meme" started with was children visiting their friends. Then you were expected to go home and have dinner at your own place, since your parents would have planned for cooking for a certain number of people, and equally so at the friend's place. So it's about respecting both of those house holds, especially when times were rougher.
I'm from Brazil and I read the whole book (the Paradise sexual democrat) Janer Cristaldo, says that the Swedes are useless, you only have money to exchange. the author lived for years in Sweden.
Yes! Thank you. As a Swede, I found those headlines so disturbing. Like, you only get half the story without any context. At least for me when I grew up, we usually were a bunch of kids from the same neighbourhood playing outdoors if the weather was nice. If it got cold or started raining, we went in to someones house and played Nintendo instead. Were their parents supposed to all of a sudden have dinner ready for nine people instead of four? No, of course not. Everyone just went home at six to eat with their own family. If it was planned and someone from out of town were there, then of course they were invited to the table. But 95% of the time, it was spontaneous with no parental involvement. And besides that, I remember a thousand times when the parents asked if we wanted fika. But yeah, I don't think I ever had dinner in the house across the street where my friend lived.
Yep! I think people just don't understand that because in other cultures you show respect by feeding people, when in Sweden you show respect by NOT feeding your kids' friends and basically ruining their parents' dinner for them. It's just a different food culture. If you're invited over for a sleepover obviously you'll get fed, though. It's the unplanned visits that don't necessarily include food.
@@thespankmyfrank Yep. We'll never let a child go hungry, but they'll usually have dinner with their family. In my house we always asked if our friends wanted to eat with us, but they usually ate at home.
Yea we use to be told by the friends parent to call home first and ask if it is ok to eat at their house. But still my friends did almost always get food at my home.(with the consent from their parents). But I where often not even asked at my friends home. So you had to be hungry until you finally did get home. I always thought it was so weird that they did not even asked. Or told you that you need to go home and eat(like some did). Some of my friends used even to eat in turns. First like the friend at his place and then took the bikes over to my place. So we did not have to go hungry all day. 😅
6:13 - Ah, Shopen... The famous polish composer.
Fryderyk Chopin. Not that famous like 50 cent or Katy Perry but still.
@@spotlight3465 The difference is celebrities like 50 cent and Katy Perry will be forgotten, Fryderyk Szopen "Funeral march" or Nocturne op.9 No.2 are timeless masterpieces. Not to mention other great composers that created many masterpieces.
@@spotlight3465 They were commenting on the spelling. Chopin is VERY famous, idk who Shopen is though.
My favorite Polish singer of all time was Basia famous for her Bossa Nova inspired jazz pop music. I've listened to her music while growing up and discovered later on that she had also lived in Chicago at one point.
she sings really well, thanks for making me know her
This is so nice to read, she was raised in the city where I was born, she used to be my mother's neighbour. :)
Since I'm from Brazil and like Bossa Nova, I'll definitely give her music a try
As something interesting: Basia is a diminutive of Barbara, she user the firt name only because her last name is Trzetrzelewska : D probably not pronounceable for foreigners : D
Her profile was elevated in the UK in the 80's when she joined the band Matt Bianco. They had a few hits on the singles charts, then went on to have a slight success as a solo artists.
Other countries: get various questions about culture etc
Sweden: *MEATBALLS*
The Swedish food thing was that there was no mobile and most children was expected to be home to dinner.
Most time the parents did not know where their children was but they know that they would be home for dinner.
As a parent you know that the guest child's parents have planned and maybe even started with the family dinner so it would have been rude to not respect that.
Offcorse in the cases the parents know eachother the common thing was to ask the child, " you can eat with us but you have to call your parents first ".
Come to India and make sure with an empty stomach cos bro they’re gonna feed the hell out of you.. and it’d be considered rude not to accept the food.. I have a very low appetite so I make myself hungry avoiding food for hours if I’m going to anyone’s house 😀
It sounds weird to Americans, because American schools tend to serve lunch pretty early (typically, around 11), so by the time school lets out (around 2:30 or 3), the kids are too hungry to wait for supper. Consequently, the after-school snack is pretty much universal in America. So inviting a friend over to your house after school and then *not* giving them anything to eat, sort of feels like you're implicitly expecting them to skip a meal in order to spend time with you.
@@jonadabtheunsightly In Sweden most children stay at school until at least 4, that means among the younger children you would most likely have you afternoon snack at "fritids" (after school childcare) where most kids would be between school ended around 2 until their parents finished working and they could come pick the children up. Then when we got older we went home directly after school ended around 4 and the parents would come home and start dinner around 5-6. That's the time most parents expected their kids to be home to eat with the family and then do homework.
Yes and an additional point is that during the majority of the year it becomes dark after 16:00-17:00 so your parents doesn’t want you to walk home in the dark. You also need to do your homework.
However as a swede I’ve never experienced or heard from anyone I know to not be offered food if staying a bit later. For us that would be consider very rude and uncaring.
Also I don’t like how the girl in the video compare it to economy, because this is more an indication of an individuals display of greediness. Some who doesn’t have much still share and this has always happened in Sweden, but maybe northerners (in comparison to southern Swedes in bigger cities) are more hospitable against their friends and have deeply rooted values. Don’t know. But this sounds very strange and I would not stay friends with a family who doesn’t care for their surroundings.
@@emelie5515 As a Swede from an urban, south-ish big city, it has never happened to me either. I agree that it seems very rude and uncaring. The idea of not serving food to visiting children felt completely foreign to me when I first heard about it online in recent years. I'm still surprised this happens somehwhere in Sweden, but I have never spoken to anyone this has happened to.
I’m half Swedish, and I would say it’s very contextual. Having dinner with someone’s family is usually something that would be planned, or they would at least want to know it’s ok with your parents. A lot of families plan what and how much to cook depending on the number/preferences/allergies etc. I typically wouldn’t have even considered staying for dinner unless it was pre-planned. But that was the same in England. We would book in dinners at our friends houses like two weeks in advance. But if I went round someone’s place after school BEFORE dinner, which I did very often, I would definitely get drinks and snacks. A lot of kids in Sweden eat what’s called “mellis” or “mellanmål” - it literally means “between meals”. Depending on the place and the friend this could have been anything from tea and biscuits or fruit to cereal or pot noodles. The main controversy on the internet though was stories about Swedish kids like waiting in someone’s room while their friend’s family had dinner. I have NEVER done that and I don’t actually know any Swedes who have. You would just go home and have dinner at home. I’m sure this happens somewhere but I’d say it was blown way out of proportion.
det är för att det inte alla existerar i samma utsträckning idag. Detta var en stor grej på 90-talet. Och som du säger har det med middagsplanering att göra. Jag har både upplevt att det hänt men där barnet fått som du också nämner mellanmål eller glass eller vad som helst. Sen det väl i Sveriges identitet att inte trampa någon på tårna, väldigt försiktig och inte ta så mycket plats. En del av Jantelagen helt enkelt.
I've done that and it wasn't that uncommon around my friends, it was great. My friend went to eat and I got to play the game by myself instead of waiting for my turn. To me it's also a trust thing, they have no problem leaving me alone in their room. This usually happened when families eat at different times. So if my friends family eat dinner at 5:30pm and my family eat dinner at 7pm. Instead of going home when my friend eat I just stay alone in his room while he eat for like 10-15 minutes and then we continue playing until I had to go home and eat. This happened on weekdays when you just randomly go home to a friend after school without either family's parents knowing about it.
As a Swede, of course you know that many other countries have meatballs, but why exactly Swedish meatballs are so popular, I don't know why :) I think it's delicious but I don't eat it all the time haha :)
😀Then the thing about not giving food. Doesn't suit my family anyway. As Cajsa said, it must be planned. But it's not directly in my family. Even though we didn't have much money, the friend always got something to eat. Been there myself a time or two that you had to wait or that you went home to eat before going back. Because if it is not planned, it can happen. But I'm mostly used to people getting something and them getting food at my place. So it does not apply to all Swedes back home. Best that was also when my mother made homemade Cinnamon/Vanilla buns with a glass of milk.
Learn about interaction between Ottoman empire and swede history, you will find the answer
@@ibrahimmohammedibrahim9273 Actually not true, our meatballs were probably influenced more by France, Italy or other European countries. What makes it special is the sauce and lingonberry which are honestly very Swedish. What we do have from the Ottomans is for example kåldolmar, which is part of Swedish traditional cuisine... and it's literally cabbage dolma with the same brown sauce we use for meatballs lol.
In the US meatballs are usually related to italian-american cuisine (which is not the same as italian btw). I think Italy has something equivalent called polpette or polpette di carne (smaller in size compared to the american ones).
I just love the way you all get on together Obviously you're not politicians - the world would be so much better if people like you were politicians. Notice that I don't say if politicians were like you- I just don't think that's possible.

In Brasil, "brazilian waxing" is just "waxing". Also, "Brazil nuts" is just "nut". And "Brazilian jiu-jitsu" is just "jiu jitsu". But the most commonly consummed bread we call "French bread", and rollecoster we call "russian mountain" kkk
Brazil nuts não é só castanha aqui🤦♀️ brazil nuts é a castanha do Pará, tipo bem específico de castanha
Yes, but Hélio Gracie has developed his own Jui Jitsu style with his brother Carlos. And their descendants have also introduced it to the development of the UFC in the world. If you delve a little more into the matter, you can already see clear differences to the trad. Jui Jitsu.
But I see what you meant. French fries, ....
Acho que isso tem a ver com os primeiros habitantes deste local que não usavam roupas quando os Europeus chegaram. Acho que a carta de Pero Vaz de Caminha fala sobre isso, ele notou que era diferente das mulheres europeias. Tudo me leva a crer que é mais um costume herdado dos indígenas.
Montaña rusa in Mexico too, probably a trademark, company or something of the 1st rollercoasters being built in those countries, like some people would call Coca-cola any type of soda?
The thing that my American friends asked me was 'Are all Serbs 🇷🇸really tall?'
It's a stereotype that's correct. Of course, not all Serbs are tall, but majority are. Serbs, along with Scandinavians and Dutch, are among the highest/tallest nations on average in Europe.
@@amarillorose7810i found the germans to be tall in northernwestern saxon regions, as tall as the dutch, the czechs too and among the scandinavians the danes are very tall (181+) the rest are average.
Judging by the title, Brazil is apparently in Europe now.
Lol didn't even catch that
Brazil is not only in Europe but in the whole world. 😄 My roommate in Spain was a Lebanese-Brazilian. I also know a few Japanese-Brazilians who you wouldn't think were actually from Brazil.
Europeans have a right to ask about countries outside of Europe. Hope this helps.
Yep Portugal is an Brazilian territory in Europe
But Brazil is literally in Europe
Brazil have a province called Portugal that speaks brazilian that borders Spain
Brazil: Mythical place of european legend (Hy-Brazil)
France has the largest border with Brazil (google it)
Brazil is also neighbour of the british isles (the falklands)
Rio was the first european capital out of Europe
Rio is literally the Atlantis, is located in the Atlantic and also has a mountain like that paintings of the Fall of Rome (corcovado).
So yeah, Brazil is Europe 🇧🇷=🇪🇺

"But not for those that are by the coast" she is really confirming that she has no idea what Brazil is like
Amazon is far from the coast... What are you talking about?
@@NerdChannelBrasil yeah but São Paulo is not on the coast.
@@kateFGMP it is “by” the coast. She is not saying it is a “beach” city.
It's about perspective, my city is about the same distance (50 km each way) from the coast and the mountains, but we think of it being by the coast because most activities are about going to the beach on long weekends or holidays. I guess Sao Paulo has the same perspective, for them having some free time or any tourist visiting around will go to the beach rather than the Amazon as it is much nearer and the rainforest is rather far away.
:O OH SWEET!!!! SHE SAID YOU ALL!!!! ha ha ha And i though it was something more local to our area. NICE! and good video. thank you for the meal :D
I really really like this group!!! More of them please 😊
As far as the question about Polish music is concerned: Poland is rich in culture since it has been part of the Western civilization for over 1000 years and Polish music is an integral part of this . Starting from medieval times with my favorite Gregorian chant: "Gaude Mater Polonia" or ""Rejoice, oh Mother Poland"" composed for Polish kings by an unknown composer. Next, we have music of the Polish Renaissance with great composers such as Bartlomiej Pekiel and Waclaw from Szamotuly. After Renaissance period , there is Polish Baroque with Mikołaj Dylecki, Marcin Mielczewski, Kaspar Foerster, and Tomasz Szewerowski. Next, we have romantic era represented by world-renowned Fryderyk Chopin, more modern composers Henryk Wieniawski (violin concertos), Stanisław Kościuszko (opera), Henryk Górecki ( modern classical) . Furthermore, Poles created some of the best music tracks for movies, for example: Krzysztof Komeda - ( music for 'Rosemary's Baby'), Krzysztof Penderecki - music for 'The Shining' ), Wojciech Kilar - '( music for The Ninth Gate' ). and Poland produced some of the best jazz musicians including Tomasz Stańko, Basia Trzetrzelewska, and Ewa Bem.
A little correction: Bartłomiej Pękiel was an early Baroque composer, not a Renaissance one(he was actually contemporary to Marcin Mielczewski and Kacper Förster). And "Stanisław Kościuszko" was actually named Moniuszko(btw, he and Wieniawski were Romantic composers, just like Chopin; Polish Modernism in music starts with Paderewski).

@@panekpankiewicz8691 Thank you very much Sir. I appreciate your concern!
On the other hand, some Brazilian people like to mock Portugal and say we stole the language, so now they speak portuguese brazilian, instead of us speaking brazilian portuguese
They are a Spanish province that speaks Brazilian
@@Mill_Jr Never heard of that....Portugal was speaking portuguese way before Brazil was even discovered right?
@@sasukebyak Yes, that was just a joke
Sorry bro, but in Portugal we DON'T consider your language as Portuguese. For us, you all speak brasileiro.
@@alexvaznogueira2817 What YOU portugueses think is irrelevant. And you should be smarter, if Brazil changes its language officially to Brasileiro, something that I and many Brazilians would fully support, YOU would be the ones to lose. Portuguese would lose 220 million speakers and would become completely irrelevant. 🤩
"...but in my case, I don't like fight." That was really cute how she said it 🥺
for the Swedish girl i just wanna say that money has nothing to do with hospitability the poorest country are usually the most hospitable so yeah
So true. And you might offend them by saying no thank you.
@@anndeecosita3586 yeah exactly
yeah this argument sounded so weird among people from much poorer countries
Ah okay so the were supposed to run down to the store and buy more food because the meal they had planned for their family according to the minimal budget many households had during our grandparents generation wasn't enough for a guest who's parents had most likely started preparing the meal for their family that would go to waist?
@@Fanniiiy I'm not saying it must look like this, but it DOES look like this in many much much poorer countries. When a guest comes, he is always offered food. The family then eats a bit less than it was planned or the cook makes some additional dish to share. So I just don't get the argument that it's due to money. It may be due to pragmatics or some other social norms. But not money.
When it comes to the Swedish food thing, as someone from Sweden I think it’s just culture. A part of our culture is minding our own business for example talking or saying hi to strangers is often seen as weird. It’s the same concept of keeping to yourself and minding your own business with food if it’s a play date the person will get food for certain, if they didn’t it would be seen as very rude. But if it isn’t planed they might not get food or the family will ask the other family if they should give you food. It doesn’t mean that swedes doesn’t have hospitality it just means that in our culture the way to show hospitality is to show respect by keeping to yourself. I know this sounds very strange but in practice it makes more sense and it works for us:] it’s the dream country for introverts lol
Actually kinda crazy to me how it is somehow okay to just shit on our culture when we are constantly told to be so respectful of other countries. Really starting to get fed up with these xenophobic cultures that can't understand others have different values.
No, not every brazilian live in the amazon omggg! 😂
But yeah, we have a lot of diversity in our nature ❤ I love it
Na verdade a amazonia é o lugar menos habitado do Brasil
Polish girl seems a nice person
I agree, next to Spanish girl most likable. Swedish girl not very open minded.
@@waldemarusmc3191 She's just Swedish lol. We're often shy, and I think you're reading that as closemindedness. She's just trying to explain her thoughts and gets interrupted by the others, it's honestly kinda annoying, but being a Swede, she lets them speak over her.
Lmao I see why you would think that considering your channel name 🤣🤣
@@generalping999 yeah,i have a softconer on her 😋♥️
I live in Amazon Forest and it's very nice in here.
The thing about Amazon in Brazil annoys me so much lol. It’s such a big country. It’s like the US in that sense. We have all types of places and the biggest city in South America which is São Paulo that it’s much like New York is to the United States. I’m from São Paulo and is crazy that people think Brazilians in general use boats and stuff to go to places.
São Paulo alone has 12.3 million people, comparing to 8.8 of NYC. NYC with adjacencies has a little more than 18 million and SP with its adjacent cities has more than 22 million people. I mean… we are going to need a lot of boats hahaha
Polish music isn't bad. Sure: there is bad polish music, but you can find bad music in any country. We might not be known for our musicians, as it is hard to be worldwide famous when you came from relatively poor country (polish złoty is a lot weaker then euro, dolar or british pound), so it is hard to promote abroad.
As Ania said we do have great composers, though. Chopin being most known, but we also have many movie composers: Jan A.P. Kaczmarek being most famous (Academy Award for "Finding Neverland"), but also Krzysztof Penderecki (who's music was used in movies like The shining, Children of Men or Player One), Wojciech Kilar (The Ninth Gate, The Pianist, Dracula) and many more.
Most known polish band is probably Metal Band 'Behemoth'.
Besides Behemoth, you could also name Vader, Decapitated, Acid Drinkers, Riverside and many, many more. Polish metal scene is quite strong actually but you have to be a metalhead to know these bands. I have no idea where the stereotype about Poland not having good music came from. Of course, as Ania said, we have disco polo but other countries have similar kind of music as well. I am not a pop music fan but judging by what is played on the radio, the quality of it is usually on par with the western music. We also have great jazz musicians like Leszek Możdżer or Tomasz Stańko.
@@tuomollo I didn't thought about other metal bands as I am not listening to that genre of music. I have heard of bands you have mention but I didn't knew they are famous abroad. Behemoth is so famous even I, who is not listening to metal, know about them xD
I agree that probably most countries have music for masses like Korean trot or German music for October fest (Schlager?) and Disco polo isn't unusual.
One of the reasons that people abroad think we don't have good music might be the fact that our most popular artists don't make it outside our country. I know that Edyta Gòrniak or Brodka tried with west markets and failed. For polish artist it is expensive to promote in west europe as polish zloty is weak.
And it is also hard to go big with polish language songs - it doesn't have as much recognition as for example Korean music.
We also had a few bad acts in Eurovision which probably doesn't help either
@@MaraMara89 Vader is really popular as well (especially in Japan). I guess we are recognized abroad when it comes to non-mainstream music.
It is true that the Eurovision does not help but to be honest, I don't remember liking any of the Eurovision finalists so winning Eurovision doesn't necessarily mean it's good music.
@@tuomollo I like Maneskin from recent ones. And they made quite a career.
This year Blanka is strongly at last position from all the propositions xD to be honest I can't even remember most of the polish entries, except Gòrniak, Ich Troje with Kaine Grenzen, Donatan and Michał Szpak. I know that young Ochman was not bad but can't remember the song :/
Eurovision is good opportunity for artist to show themselves to European/global audience but with music chosen by "jury" we have nothing to show...
@@MaraMara89 Polish entry with Margaret could do better but she underperformed compared to the music video. It lacked the enegry. From what I can remember, she was sick during the contest.
next time bring a russian girl too!! Russia is very interesting and has a lot of stereotypes about them. it would be cool to watch.
Ana Paula is beautiful and represents our country very well! 🇧🇷❤️

Brasil muito bem representado com a Ana
Chopin, not Shopin :) But yeah, had the same thought. And also they have some awesome punk bands in Poland. Or used to have, I'm old :D
As soon as they mentioned Polish music, I went: Bejbah!
I almost died when I heard that question about Poland having terrible music. Like Ania said Chopin. And there's Polka. I remember a rock band out of Poland called Lady Pank.
And the subtitles say "Shopen" 💀 I almost died because of that lmao. To be fair, I think Poland is up and coming in the music scene, they're just not as famous as other countries' music industries yet.
Chopin, Lipinski, Penderecki, Górecki, Wieniawski, Szymanowski, Panufnik, Petersburski (O, donna Clara:), Komeda (and the whole Polish Jazz), Polish folk music (strict inspiration for Chopin), mazurkas, polonaises, Niemen, Polish black metal Polish rap - all of these are considered first class of the world music. A strange stereotype of this girl, showing a lack of basic refinement
don't forget the greatest band ever: Paulo Sergio
@jimgorycki4013 Polka doesn't originate from Poland, it's a Czech dance
Behemoth
If we talk about music in Poland in currently time I have to say that there are many great bands who play heavy/black metal like Behemoth, Batushka, Mgła or KAT. All of them are popular in the world.
I would add we have and had in last few decades at least few great and well-known composers, mostly of movies' scores. So not only Chopin, but also Kaczmarek, Penderecki, Kilar, Komeda czy Górecki are quite well-known abroad
Edit: for grammar/probably still bad 🙃
Poland also has a fascinating experimental music scene. All the projects involving Kuba Ziołek are quite good.
it is really cool to see a bunch of european people from all over europe
especially brazil
Brazil is in south american😂
Could you guys do a video about hard to pronounce english place names like e.g. Bicester, Teignmouth, Cholmondeley or Leominister? Should be a funny one! :)
i'm sure such a video exist already. I guess Lauen mad one with some other english/amerik. girls.
Ah yes, Shopen, my favorite pianist
I like the 80's song "I like Shopen" by the Italo-disco artist Gazebo. 😃
XDDDD
I like going shopping for Shopen.
Le portugais et l'anglais sont pour moi les langues les plus difficiles à apprendre, mais j'admire vraiment tous ceux qui peuvent le parler !!
Merci!
I don't really speak Français, but I can roughly understand when it's written. Spoken French, however...
Dans mon das c’est le contraire
Anglais? L'anglais n'est pas difficile du tout, le portugais est beaucoup plus difficile à apprendre et pour moi l'anglais est l'une des langues les plus faciles à apprendre au monde.
@@Juliana_Costa. pour moi c'est dur à apprendre, si pour toi c'est facile alors ok, pour moi c'est dur, c'est ce que j'ai dit dans mon commentaire
Le portugais est vraiment difficile, surtout au Brésil, ici dans chaque état il y a un accent différent et des noms différents pour chaque chose, presque comme s'il y avait plusieurs pays en un seul.
For the waxing part: it started in the 70s because of the new bikini cuts at the time. We have a lot of things when it comes to beauty and hygiene that I don't see much here in Europe, or that started 20 to 30 years later (like waxing).
I think people just assume Brazil is all jungle... or poor. But even when you are in the Amazon *region* there's a difference between Amazônia and Amazónas (one is the forest, the other is the region), so that may be where the confusion comes from... but we still get asked questions far more rude sometimes ^^' not sure how we allow that.
Schol ends alot earlier for children than parents leave work in sweden. So often children can go too sombodys home and play for a few hour before the parents get home. Having dinners togheter when my parents got home was really important so they did not want me too eat at my friends house.
Como assim, tem gente que bebe chá com leite no Brasil tbm 😅 eu tomava quando eu era criança. Adorava.
Sorry Lauren but fish and chips is in every way by definition the national dish as you can't get a more popular and destintively british dish than fish and chips. I don't even see the logic of how tikka masala can even count given that fish and chips is more popular (though very fatning and hence not eaten very often for that reason) and besides, as much as I love eating a pre made tikka masala it is not actually a distinctively british dish so logically speaking it doesn't count.
This is why most say fish and chips as the national dish by definition is the most popular as well as the most destinctively natave/british, plus this makes a lot more sence as a whole, especially distinctively. We do love our curries though with Tikka masala definitely being the most popular one. If fish and chips were not so overly fatning we would definitely eat more of them and hence it is a b ig treat to have, especially on a friday afternoon.
The Brazilian European is most impressive to me. How did she do that?
😂😂😂😂
My eyes started to bleed when I saw someone write Shopen! Jesus Christ! Chopin!!!!
Shopee xd...and that annoying song 'baby shark' or something.
@@Nikifor_92 dokładnie 😃
Everyone consider him as a French composer. Poland even didn’t exist during his life. Chopin was born in Russia in Zhelazova Vola in 1810.
😈
@@Maxhartmann2024 Only an ignoramus could say that (or troll). Similar situation is with Sklodowska-Curie, who considered herself as Polish, even when her country was under partition and she spent most of her life in France. But the greatest foolishness is to think that Chopin was from Russia, lol. He was born in Żelazowa Wola, not Zhelasova... Poland always was Polish, even (especially) during partition or occupation.
@@Nikifor_92 of course I know Chopin and Sklodowska-Curie were ethnically Polish notables.
Don’t take it serious, I just wanted sensitive Polish nationalists to get pissed off 😊
10:50 - Can you distinguish Scandinavian people? - What was Kaisa going to reply about Norwegian people before Draga interrupted her? She said Finnish people sometimes have sightly upward noses, Danish people often have rounder faces and Norwegian people often behave ...? What did she say? Charming? Or what? I've never heard all of these before and I really think this is very interesting!! Does anybody from a Scandinavian country know or have an idea?! I would really like to know! Thank you in advance!! :)
Not sure if this is what she were about to say, but Norwegians tend to end sentences with a higher tone, making them sound more positive
I feel like all the girls went for brunch afterwards and stayed in a group chat
Lauren is great. Are their more videos with her?
Actually the tea culture was introduced in the UK by the Portuguese Royal family.
PEOPLE THINK BRAZIL IS LIKE A NON-INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRY, THAT WE LIVE IN NATURE AND WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE INTERNET... WHEN WE ARE THE LARGEST ECONOMY IN LATIN AMERICA (AND ONE OF THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD) AND ONE OF THE MOST INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES TOO... I DON'T UNDERSTAND...
Well, Brazil is very big, but people most likely only know 2 things about Brazil, favelas and carnaval, which are both very different and polar opposite when representing Brazil, but at least that the image that’s sold outside. But again Brazil is massive so it can literally have anything. Brazilians, USAmericans, Russians, Indians and Chinese y’all have a waaaay different view than most of the world, cause most countries are small small small, you guys are the only ones that are THAT big, we, coming from small countries can’t relate
My favorite Brazilian actress is Monica Mattos. 😃
It's probably because most people, when they think of Brazil, picture the Amazon or the favelas.

Yes, of course. Electrolux is a Swedish company. By now, they're selling and manufacturing products all over the world, but they started in Sweden. They're listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange and the headquarters are still in Sweden.
If I remember right, there was a moment when Electrolux tried to sell those with the words "It sucks" in USA at first. That was a misunderstanding in the translation to English from Swedish.
@@janahlfors8192No, it was a pun.
I’m from Sweden and the thing with not serving food to our guests and then I mean kids. Well we have always served and I have always been served food when I come home to a friend of mine. If I stay over dinner i and my friends have always been served dinner. So I guess it is different in different homes. But my dads friend and him self when he was a little kid they didn’t vote food when they were home in some ones else of ther friends home:).
