Besides the World Cup, what other interesting trivia do you know about Brazil?

When it comes to Brazil, besides the World Cup, what else do you think of? Today, let’s find out what strange facts there are about Brazil, a large Portuguese-speaking South American country. 01 Rio de Janeiro is not the capital

When it comes to Brazil, the first city that many people think of is nothing more than the host place of the 2016 Olympic Games - Rio de Janeiro Rio de Janeiro Rio de Janeiro should be the most famous big city in Brazil, with Monte Cristo, Toast Bread Mountain has a carnival, a lot of tourist attractions, and the Olympic Games, so many people think it is the capital of Brazil. This misunderstanding is not only ours, but also occurs all over the world. But the capital of Brazil is actually another place - Brasilia.

Brasilia is a professionally planned city that serves as an administrative service center. The core function of the entire city is to work for the government. Therefore, it is much boring compared to cities such as the Rio Olympics and Sao Paulo. Naturally, it is Not famous. The legendary Brasilia is a city that really makes a "day trip", because there really isn't much to see, and you see, I didn't even bother to post a picture.

Most people have heard of Rio de Janeiro, which is arguably the most famous city in Brazil. Rio de Janeiro has Copacabana seaside (known as the most famous beach in the world), Carnival, favelas, and of course the statue of Jesus the Redeemer. But, surprisingly, Rio de Janeiro is not the capital of Brazil.

Brasilia is the current capital of Brazil. It is the third city in Brazil to become the capital since its independence. Brasilia was declared the capital of Brazil on April 21, 1960. It is a city that was planned first and then built. In 1987, it was recognized as a "history and historical and cultural heritage of mankind" by the World Tourism Organization. 02 Rich in supermodels

If you say "people from which country are good-looking", it seems like blind worship. But Brazil is really a country that produces supermodels. The most famous one should be Gisele Bündchen, known as "Girl Empress". It’s the “Brazilian National Treasure Supermodel” who walked the catwalk at the Rio Olympics, earning $450,000 per step.

Looking at the younger generation, of course we have to talk about Alessandra Ambrosio, the "little AA" on the Victoria's Secret catwalk. She is also famous in the Victoria's Secret catwalk, and her design style is completely different. The same Adriana Lima, she has a more typical black skin color in Brazil. Speaking of famous male models among young supermodels, the most popular one at the moment should be Marlon Teixeira, who was born in 1991. 03 The second home of the Japanese

Brazil can be regarded as a country relatively far from Japan on the earth, because it is at the front door of the earth, but the magic is that Brazil has a very large Japanese population. The largest number in the world except Japan.

About 1.6 million people of Japanese descent live here. Most of them came to Brazil between 1926 and 1941, but the earliest Japanese immigrants came to Brazil in 1907. Before that, the Japanese and Brazilian governments signed a convention.

The most famous among Japanese-Mexicans is probably the singer Lisa Ono. (Her current nationality is Japanese) She is known as the "Japanese bossa nova goddess". (Bossa Nova is a music style that combines Brazilian samba music with jazz music) 04 Strange concept of time: Being late is considered polite

Brazil is a leisurely country. Some people say that this The entire country lives a "leisure vacation" life. I heard that if a Mexican tells you "I'll be there soon", then they may still be 5 minutes away, or they may be half an hour away.

In addition, when attending a party or something, arriving on time is considered impolite in my opinion. It will appear that you have been urging the host to do things. Being late is a polite behavior in the eyes of Mexicans. Because of this laid-back culture, outsiders often think Mexicans are slow and prone to accidents. 05 Barbeque Fanatics

The Brazilian Barbecue that was once so popular in our country is definitely a major feature of Brazil. Mexicans love barbecue very much and consider themselves to be the best in South America (although Croatia next to them also says that they are the best). most). Barbecue is an important part of Brazilian life. They not only grill barbecue over charcoal, but also grill fruits, vegetables, and in my opinion snacks such as cheese sticks.

In addition, in fact, there is no very special region in terms of technology or condiments for Brazilian barbecue. The fundamental reason for the deliciousness of Brazilian charcoal barbecue is that the raw materials are good, and its breeding industry is both large and high-quality. Very good, the world's largest beef and mutton producer and exporter is Brazil.

Both Brazil and Argentina claim to be the South American barbecue champions. In Brazil, prime cuts of meat (the most popular is the picanha) are seasoned without a lot of salt and grilled over charcoal to a perfect pale pink (if you're using the old-fashioned style from the south). Baking method, wood baking can also be used).

At family barbecues, you’ll find bratwurst, crunchy cheese sticks (queijocoalho), and grilled chicken hearts, while barbecue-style steakhouses (churrascarias) serve pork, beef, wild boar, and more. There are various kinds of skewers, and the waiter can cut all kinds of meat and put them on your plate. 06 The Amazon rainforest is not all in Brazil

Because the Amazon rainforest is often mentioned together with Brazil, and it occupies almost half of Brazil’s territory, many people think that the entire tropical rainforest is in Brazil. Actually no, it covers 9 countries at a time, but 60% of them are in Brazil. That tropical rainforest is indeed big enough. It is almost as large as the continental United States. Speaking of which, the relationship between Brazil and the Amazon rainforest is really close. The green on the Brazilian flag refers to the Amazon rainforest.

On Brazil’s latest five-star red flag, the green area represents Brazil’s forests, the yellow prisms represent Brazil’s mineral resources, and the blue circles and stars depict November 15, 1889. The sky over Rio de Janeiro on the morning of that day, when Brazil declared independence. 07 There are still many prehistoric tribes

The Amazon rainforest has not been completely explored by humans. There are still many corners that are unknown to everyone. Many ancient times that were isolated from the world still lived in these corners. According to reports in 2007, there were still 67 tribes in Brazil at that time that had never had contact with contemporary humans. It’s also a great place to shoot documentaries. 08 Sao Paulo, the largest city in the southern hemisphere with the worst GDP and world-class transportation.

When it comes to Brazil’s economy, we have to talk about the “Shanghai of Brazil”—S?o Paulo, this city. Its GDP accounts for 20% of Brazil's overall GDP. It is the strongest in Brazil and the strongest in South America. According to the 2016 data of the Brookings Institution, it ranks 11th among the world's cities.

Based on the city’s GDP, S?o Paulo is the largest economic power in the Southern Hemisphere (ranked 11th overall). If you want to appreciate the best view of this metropolis of skyscrapers, you can go to the upper floors of the Edificio Italia, the tallest building in the city. This business building has 46 floors.

Despite the good economic development, sometimes it is really tiring to live here because transportation is such a problem. S?o Paulo has the worst traffic congestion in the world. The local road traffic organization "Traffic Engineering Company" stated that the city of Sao Paulo set a congestion record on November 15, 2013. During the evening peak period, the city's congestion distance was nearly 309 kilometers (192 kilometers). 09 Duplicate names are the most serious

The most common girls’ name in Brazil is Maria, and the boy’s name is Jose. Thousands of people have the same name. Ma Dongmei Kelly? Okay, not the same kind of Maria (P.S. Bullfighting is not Mexican), Maria and José are the most common names in Brazil. More than 11 million Brazilian women are named Maria, and more than 5 million Brazilian men are named Joseph. The second most common names are Leah and Jo?o. The most common surname in Brazil is Adriano. 10 The world's largest coffee producing country

Another major specialty product of Brazil is coffee. The total production is the highest in the world. 17 of Brazil's 21 states produce coffee. For the past 150 years, Brazil has been the largest coffee producer. Coffee is produced in many countries around the world, but no country's coffee production can compare with the coffee production in Brazil's coffee-growing areas.
