We can dream now

Brazilians are very kind and solicitous, they love those who are interested in their language and culture. They overvalue those who seek to know about Brazil and its culture. If you still don't know, in Brazil we speak Portuguese. If you are studying Portuguese and want to find native speakers of that language, I will leave some suggestions on where to find them in this post.

The safest place to meet real people from Brazil is on social networks, in general Brazilians spend more than 3 hours a day, 134 million Brazilians with internet access. In other words, there are a lot of people speaking Portuguese for you to know.

Safety

Differently from other places in Brazil the Mato Grosso is a state where there is a lot of security, although we have growing up with the violencie in the cities, it is one of the things that has been occurring in recent years, but we have still a lot of security. I have traveled by many cities here and in all the people have a freedom to be able to carry their purse in your hands, to play with cell phone in the street, even in my city there are enough teenagers who walk in the streets with the loud sound in their smartphone. Although violence has grown in recent years, Mato Grosso is still very secure in relation to other states.


Simplicity



In Mato Grosso there are many cities where people are simple and hospitable and hosts their visitors and new residents. Cities such as Sinop, Matupá, Nova Xavantina, and the capital Cuiabá itself have people who are usually prestatives, many of these cities are also receiving people from many other states and places of the world, have made the culture of Mato Grosso be mixed together other cultures.

Tranquility


Mato Grosso have many a small town and full of great tranquilities. Because of a rural economy, small towns also have a cheaper cost of living, enabling them to have their own vegetable garden and animal husbandry.


Adventures 


In several cities of Mato Grosso, the kind of things that are most common, the fishing is the first of them, in the city of Cáceres for example there is a Fisheries Festival ("Festival de Pesca" in portuguese) that is quite known in the State. When I was a child I went to the trail with my colleagues when I lived in Guarantã do Norte. There are also the Motocross, I went see a motocross in my childhood too. There are waterfalls, a city known for its waterfalls is the Chapada dos Guimarães. Older people used to go to hunt, the men who gather and hunt the most, usually eat these animals. These and other adventures that are popularies in Mato Grosso.

Foods

In Mato Grosso we have a mix of several other states. People from all over the Brazil come to live in Mato Grosso because we have foods from other places for exemplo we have Couscous of corn ("Cuscuz de milho" in portuguese), in Cuiabá have the cuiabano cake called in portuguese of "Chá com bolo". Still the "Galinhada" is typical from state of Minhas Gerais and Goiás, we eat here in Mato Grosso. These are some but we have many and many other.

Sertanejo



The sertanejo is listened a lot in almost all the states in Brazil. This is a predominant musical style but in the Mato Grosso we have the "Moda de viola" and the "Sertanejo Universitário" is famous and is very clear the preference of the Matogrossenses by that style. An example is the Bruna Viola, known in the country for its viola fashions. 

These are the advantages of living in Mato Grosso that I have separated, it is clear that opinions may differ from your meeting with other people who live in the State.

Recently I was in travel to the Rio de Janeiro, wonderful city and most famous place international from Brazil. I never had a big fascination for that city but I like a lot of the beauty of that place. It is one of the best cities we have in the Brazil. Today I admire other things there, like your big downton to students and yours Universities but I could has contemplate Copacabana's beach with your incredible sea.
I was in Museums as the National Museum that caught fire in this year, I could not into to because it was closed in reform, they are trying to restore so much works destroyed by the flames. We know have everything back is impossible but what they get restore is advantage to Brazil's history.
I lived other reality in that city. People like me in general think: "I can not go to the Rio de Janeiro because there is dangerous". That's normal because we are in other region from Brazil have so many bad news about this amazing city but in the same time you see a colorful world and also see people need help in the sidewalks like in all big city in Brazil.

The beaches makes people stay in love with Brazil but the tropical Country have things is little explored for your own citizens. Our nature, our sea and our people and also our culture brought our brazilian way and the Rio de Janeiro is the most famous reference to many foreign people about brazilian city, I know it's not the only city from Brazil but many people don't know it. Copacabana's beach is really big and is amazing. If you wanna going to the Brazil I am sure Rio de Janeiro is the first city you will meet <3

Samba is a style of dance from Brazil, it's originally had come from Africa with african slaves in the initial colonization. Samba is rhythm of brazilian carnival (I'll explain in another post about) and a style musical too. 

Many people from another countries know samba or hear about, when they think in Brazil remember of samba with beautiful women dancing with sexy clothers. "Oh Brazil! Beautiful girls dancing samba..." It's very commom comments about this rhythm. We have many artist singing samba and pagode (it's a rhythm similar the samba).
There are places with most popular influency of samba they are Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Maranhão, Pernambuco and São Paulo.  It's commom in that places but it's not limited only there. We can find in other places in Brazil.
Samba is originally black culture in Brazil, that's reason you will find many black women dancing this rhythm. There is also what is called "Escolas de samba" (Samba's schools) where people will there learn how to dance samba and to play this rhythm with musical instruments.
Since decade 30 samba is a national rhythm to publicity in Brazil it was wish of Getúlio Vargas, ex brazilian president, samba spread out in all region of the country.
A thing I need tell for you, it not everybody in Brazil love samba, there is people whom hate it. Especially people are of Churches or more conservatives and not agree with sensual clothes of girls dancing samba or don't like rhythm. Those people don't like samba be a referencial from Brazil around of the world. 
Men from other countries have confused and thinked brazilian girls dancing samba is because she is easier than other places but it's not true. She is just dancing that rhythm and many are dancers profissional and have those dance for hobby.
Some famous artists sing samba are: Alcione, Zeca Pagodinho, Martinho da Villa, Arlindo Cruz, Beth Carvalho, Diogo Nogueira, Raça Negra, Adoniran Barbosa and etc.
