You can also visit Monte Verde, in the state of Minas Gerais, which was founded by Latvians. You can also visit Helvétia in the state of São Paulo where a third of the inhabitants are Swiss. The city of Áurea in the state of Rio Grande do Sul where 90% of the inhabitants are of Polish origin. Santa Maria de Jetibá, the most Pomeranian city in Brazil. In this city there is also a village where the inhabitants came from Zeeland, southern Holland in the 19th century
Well I mean they also have a favela with I suppose some of its own problems but that’s still also mostly normal people. Idk man I’ll have to go there some day Finland. You always hear that Finland is the happiest country or one of the happiest countries but I also heard from a guy once in a documentary he was a priest or something that all the sad people must’ve outed themselves worth the high suicide rate. It was kind of funny how he delivered it but it’s a sad situation
@LewisWirth happiness is far from Finland, they just have a high level of satisfaction with their own nation, these surveys that say (the happiest countries in the world) are totally wrong, as for the issue of suicide, each one says something different the Nordic countries in general they have a high suicide rate and unfortunately this is far from over! in Norway our cold culture ends up making the situation worse ,One thing dont understand is that the richer a people are, the more cases of anxiety and depression appear, here in Norway it's no different.
@ can’t disagree with that. But on the thing about anxiety and depression that’s not directly related to wealth it’s more secondary factors some of which also helped them get rich. Like the work culture Japan and Korea are very extreme in this but I think the main reason is the breaking up and weakening of the traditional family structures that used to hold these countries together. You can see time and time again that people with anxiety and depression tend to have family problems and from my personal experience I must say I see plenty of this in “poor” countries as well
I've never been there but I've always heard about it, so thank you for this! The elderly Finnish lady is so lovely, how amazing that she still prepares all of that stuff for her shop! By the way, I always give the due thumbs-up and share the vids!
Eu já vi muitas colônias de diversas nacionalidades no Brasil, agora uma finlandesa, um país nórdico, me surpreendeu. Vídeo sensacional, agradeço por mostrar está bellissima cidade.
I am Brazilian and I never imagined the existence of a Finnish colony in the country. Taking advantage of the opportunity, you should visit Prudentopolis and other cities in the state of Paraná, where we have Ukrainians, Poles, Germans and Volga Germans.
@LewisWirth Verdade, desculpe, eu assiti o vídeo a algumas semanas e acabei esquecendo. De qualquer forma no Paraná há dezenas de colonias de imigrantes europeus, e alguns asiaticos, principalmente japoneses. Na região da cidade de Ponta Grossa tem a colônia menonita Witmarsum, vale a visita.
Oh yeah with the older lady I did translate it but the way she said it I just wrote it phonetically. The older lady also named a specific Finnish pastry I found it made more sense not to translate that because it’s a name l. Either way I did write it wrong. It just sounds like one word bolugar 😂
I still have a few videos coming up that I filmed earlier but it should get better after that. This one is actually the second most recent one I filmed
Tem a cidade de Carambeí no Paraná também, colônia holandesa. Só falam em Holambra e esquecem dessa cidade, acho que por ser bem pequena. Passava por lá na infância e havia conterrâneos seus morando lá, não sei como está hoje.
@andrevieiradelima aqui em SP temos muito preconceito com o RJ, temos medo da criminalidade. Já recusei emprego no RJ, pois não quero levar uma bala perdida.
@cachaça_baby Penedo é no interior do RJ, praticamente não há violência. Aliás, discurso xenofóbico típico de paulista, pois São Paulo é extremamente violenta comparada com outros centros do Brasil. Eu nunca fui assaltado no Rio e já fui assaltado nos Estados Unidos ;)
@@rafaelsantoszzz6642 moro no Rio e já trabalhei em Penedo. A capital é um problema, mas Penedo é um lugar tranquilo. Ele não tem razão, o comentário é xenofóbico. São Paulo também é perigosa.
There's not really that much resemblance to Finland here, but there is, apparently, still an element of influence of the ancestors of the people who founded Penedo a hundred years ago. I first learned about this place in 2001 at the Maracana when a giant of a man approached, telling me he'd seen me arrive and told his missus immediately that I must be from Finland as I totally resembled the people with Finnish ancestry in Penedo where he was from.
Yeah I must agree there. It’s a common theme in Brazil but some places are more authentic than others. This one was very small it’s due to tourism that it’s still alive at all. Especially with how small it is. Apparently the settlement was made up of 26 or 27 families that’s what I’d been told
Você tem que visitar Áurea no Rio Grande do Sul, a cidade é conhecida como a capital polonesa dos Brasileiros! Meus antepassados poloneses foram um dos primeiros moradores da cidade quando vieram da Europa em 1895, quando a Polônia estava dividida entre a Prússia, Austria e a Rússia.
@@annabaumann7348 At public pools with an adjacent sauna it is usually expressly forbidden to wear any clothing in the showers - and especially in the sauna.
Went there in 2021. There was a beautiful tapestry shop ran by an old dude who was married to a finnish woman, lived among the finns and learned to make some traditional finnish tapestry. The place was so pretty, was a shame I couldn't buy any rugs cause they were beautiful. Wonder if the shop is still there
Ooops, you're in my state now. If you end up visiting Petrópolis or Rio, I'd be more than glad to be of help, if you need any. There's also Nova Friburgo, a town known as the Brazilian Switzerland, founded by colonists from Fribourg.
@LewisWirth Ok. Na região serrana do Rio chegou a ir a Petrópolis cidade do Dom Pedro II? Cidade também conhecida pela colonização alemã e de Santos Dumont.
It is very sad to see a colony become a tourist city, which kills the culture of that colony. The same thing is happening in Holambra, where a few decades ago everyone was Dutch, and today the city is divided between Dutch and Quattrocentões.
I know what you mean. But some die of their own accord. I don’t think Penedo would have survived at all without tourism it was just too small families would have left. Children would have gone to the big cities. Other cities like Pomerode are kept alive by tourism. And cities like Sao bento do sul which I also visited are much more in decay because of their lack of tourism despite third many historical buildings
I know what you mean I also prefer the more authentic places like Registro and Pomerode but all have a level of this if tourism is a big part of their economy

Penedo-RJ is better known than Prudentópolis :)

Poland was finally divided in 1795. I know it because I'm from Vinnitsya- our city is located in Central Ukraine and has big polish heritage.

"Beluga?"
"Bolo húngaro"
"Boluga, ok"
Yeah something like that 😂

There is a city of German settlers in Rio de Janeiro called Petrópolis, I recommend a visit, the city is very beautiful

Looks like a village from a rpg game
I guess that’s a somewhat reasonable comparison
verdade kkkk parece mesmo
Você esta ainda no Brasil?
Nao, agora nao

Foi a comida brasileira mais xoxa q já vi 😮😮
Qual parte?
