The Beauty of Brazil

After visiting Brazil I learned many things about the intriguing country. One of the first differences in the culture I saw between the U.S as well as many other countries is their love for soccer. On the first night, I and my family went to eat traditionally Brazilian food and in the front of the restaurant, a big screen was displaying the soccer game that was going on. People were screaming in excitement and sadness constantly, and I noticed that most restaurants we went to displayed soccer on their television screens. What really brought their love for soccer to my attention was when I visited a soccer game, Flamengo vs Fluminense. At first, I did not know what to expect but when I arrived there was a huge crowd. People stood the whole game chanting in unity and excitement bringing me to the conclusion that soccer is in the heart of many in Brazil. I also noticed Brazil is a poor country though hard workers surround the country. Something odd I noticed was people ran red lights in Brazil all the time. I then did research and discovered that it is tolerated for drivers to not stop at a red light in big cities.

The picture to the left is a statue called Christ the Redeemer. It is located on the summit of Mount Corcovado showcasing a breathtaking view of the city of Rio de Janeiro. This statue is included in the Seven Wonders of the world. When I visited the statue it was very crowded full of people coming from different backgrounds.

One of the most magnificent places I visited in Brazil was the Iguana Falls. Iguana falls is located in Brazil and Argentina though I visited the Brazil side of it. The photo does not depict it very much but in person, the water has a brown look to it. You may think the water is dirty because of that though the water actually contains sediments and minerals that are washed up from plants and soil.
