There are many images about it - dangerous, colorful, poor... Brazil has all these faces, after all, it occupies half of the entire South America and is the seventh largest in the world. It is definitely not the same throughout its area, and Lucie Brejšová only confirms this in the podcast. São Paulo is also huge, in which she lived among its 20 million inhabitants. In the podcast, we discussed in detail life in this rough and dirty metropolis, the Brazilian mentality and the optimistic nature that the locals maintain despite the dire situation in the country. The Brazilians themselves are obsessed with danger and have consistently warned Lucia Brejšová about it. According to her, Brazil is not that dangerous, even though it has experienced an armed robbery in broad daylight. You can learn more about Brazilian favelas, the work of a foreign language teacher or a street in São Paulo where only drugs are taken, in the entire podcast.
