Brazil. Well, where should I start...

Bad things: we're known as the "most hated people on the Internet", the "Land of Hue Monkeys and all that s***", "Operation Car Wash", corruption and scandals everywhere, absurdly high taxes (in specific areas already recognized publicly as the most abusive in the whole world), we're in plain 2017 and some people still think we speak Spanish. Brazilians just don't know how to think in long terms, they just want everything working ASAP, be it through the usual "jeitinho brasileiro" or by - pardon my French - f***ing everything up even more. We're at a really, really bad moral crisis here, which is also causing the economic crisis and, to some extent, all the other crisis we're having right now, all because most of us just don't let go of our "laid-back, uneducated, completely amateur culture". Pardon my French again, but we're just f***ing cavemen compared to most of the civilized world. It's a cultural thing, unfortunately, and it'll take generations for it to vanquish, if at all.

"Meh" things: in the eyes of a tourist we have "beautiful beaches, beautiful women, beautiful landscapes, beautiful everything". I pity for them though, that's completely subjective. We're known to be a pretty hot country (on all sides), which I particularly am neutral to this but I just prefer cold climates. We also don't have snow, but we have lots of rain, especially in the North and some specific states such as mine (São Paulo, it really rains a lot here, no wonder our nickname is "Drizzling Land" - "Terra da Garoa").

Apparently good things: we created the damn airplane and USA loves to not recognize that, even though the whole world recognizes that. Their reaction at the Rio Olympics was just priceless. Santos Dumont ftw. We are also (I still hope this is true) the biggest orange juice exporter, and USA depends a lot on us for their sugar supplies, so if they f*** up with us, I think they're also f***ed, win-win. We're also advancing a lot in medicine, things such as the "soon-to-be cure for cancer" - phosphoethanolamine - we've discovered that and what makes me even more proud of that, even though I'm not patriotic in any way whatsoever, is that we did it even when the government just don't even raise a finger to help us, just like we do pretty much everything here. We're on our own.

Biased things: no, Brazil is not only "samba, carnaval and Rio de Janeiro".

Spicy : You pretty much put my thoughts into a post XD
We're pretty infamous now because of our weeds and Amsterdam's red light district, but luckily we're also known for our bicycles and stroopwafels, and of course living under sea level, so I don't mind being known for the drugs and prostitutes as well.

Right now,how did Trump ever become president and his immigration procedures. And of course the wall.

Belgium's known for its beer and its waffles.

Our national monument is some pissing kid, and we're the host of the EU. We also hold (or held, idk if it's been passed) the record for longest amount of time without a government. 


That's about it?

I get the feeling we are known for being "a very behind the curve" country.

mastergame : It's raining tacos

I think peoples around the world known my country, Indonesia for it's one and only Bali Island, which is where i live currently. I think Bali is one of the most visited tourism places all around the world. 10/10 would recommend to visit this place, i guarantee you'll enjoy every second you spend here.

Frodlex : United States?
