Brazil, a mixed of cultures



Brazil is the most multicultural country in Latin America, and probably one of the most in the world. In Brazil, you can find German, Japanese, African, Spanish, Portuguese, Jewish descendents and others. Everything started with the Portuguese colonization of Brazil, and with the independence, the need of people to cover and protect the all territory, made easier the migration of millions of people from all around the world.

Now, Brazil has the biggest number of Japanese descendents outside Japan. The number of Japanese descendents in Brazil is bigger than countries like U.S.A. The Japanese culture makes its presence in the Brazilian way of living. Food, sports, companies, values, art and even neighbourhoods are examples of the Japanese traditions in Brazil. " Liberdade" the Japanese neighbourhood in Sao Paulo, is the place where the most of Japanese live, but there are also some other Asian as Korean or Chinese. There you can find a market where a big number of Asian products are available.

  2. I think that Brazil is a good example of how is possible to live in peace and in harmony, without it differs from culture, race, or religion affects the relations.
    They teach us that the tolerance and the respect are a good tool for a coexistence of which all can benefit.
