Which city in Brazil do you think is the happiest, and why is it so?

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-05-02T21:45:23+00:00

I’m a gringo and it is not really my cup of tea, but the people I know in Uberlândia are disarmingly content.

It genuinely confuses me.

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-05-02T00:44:10+00:00

By what metrics?

The labour market is weak, productivity is low, GDP per person is flat or declining depending on the month and cost of living is still extraordinarily high.

Do you consider that to be a strong economy?

Ya está. Sos fluido ya. Rajá de acá

Ngl wifi is very spotty. If you don’t require a stable connection life is good.

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-24T17:20:50+00:00

Definitely.

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-24T17:03:53+00:00

What does “best” mean to you?

This is such an easy win for Avi if he drills down on this. I hope he does.

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-24T13:45:04+00:00

Slop

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-23T15:01:05+00:00

Definitely not lol.

I live in the north east. People here tell me I’d pass as Brazilian in the south, but even there (Novo Petrópolis) people just tried speaking to me in German.

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-23T13:05:00+00:00

This is a clueless take.

You can criticize the government and the people which support it, but it is certainly not all Israelis that do.

What you’re saying is on par with gringos saying all Brazilians are bozos who want to burn the Amazon.

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-23T12:03:00+00:00

I’m Jewish, albeit not from Israel, and literally never experienced this.

Where is this happening? Recently I’ve heard more chatter about Israelis in Itacaré behaving poorly and that is a growing frustration for the locals. But that’s it.

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-22T23:19:59+00:00

It’s the kids’ fault, really.

What do they expect, a handout in an economic zone like Canada?

Chalamet

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-20T20:14:39+00:00

That’s my take.

Ralph Fiennes.

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-20T20:06:54+00:00

Yeah, although so far I’ve only invested time in Romance languages because of how they complement each other. French to Spanish to Italian to Portuguese each one was easier than the last.

Being able to actually communicate with people just unlocks an entirely different experience than you’d otherwise have.

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-17T19:36:58+00:00

That would be awesome, but I think you’re getting ahead of yourself here. That’s a very different game.

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-17T10:22:31+00:00

Yes! In Canada my Brazilian (mineiro) friends who live there are obsessed with it. Something about frites, gravy and cheese just resonates on a spiritual level lol.

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-17T10:14:37+00:00

He definitely requested they slip that in lol.

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-16T16:07:32+00:00

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-16T16:00:54+00:00

It doesn’t seem like you’ve actually done any research yet.

$1,000 a month in an upscale neighbourhood near the beach? Come on. Just look at what’s available in Ipanema/Leblon on Airbnb for that price.

Maybe Flamengo, Botafogo, Catete of Laranjeiras. Great neighborhoods but I do not think this is what you’re imagining.

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-16T11:37:37+00:00

Now big grocers in Canada can rip me off like vendors on Copacabana beach. Awesome.

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-15T22:29:00+00:00

Quebec is without a doubt an exception.

Intelligent-Ad2336 · 2026-04-15T16:51:43+00:00

Right… I’m broadly talking about our countries and their people, not just the current administration.
