Brazil is a combination of countries packed in one massive
land. Also, Brazil is the only Latin America country that do not speak Spanish
but Portuguese. It is remarkably interesting diverse country that I stayed for

entire year – go to North.
2.
If you want four seasons – go to South!
3.

or New Year
4.

the only problem is some people like robber and killer or with guns
8.

10.
People will clap their hands when the sun is
rising and setting, literally they are waiting mostly in the seashore to
witness the day starts and ends which is incredibly match to how I live life
The rest amazing facts, you can do in your own research through google 😊
