Behind the scene

Well, it’s been several months that we have been telling you how Brazil is awesome, shiny, how we love it up are coming the hours of reality check. There is no such place as paradise on earth. For a traveller it could look like it most of the time but if you really want to know a country you have to understand what’s happening around you, otherwise you choose to stay in a f***ing touristic place where people will mainly see you as a credit card or/and a good night party.

Brazil is not “awesome” mainly Brazilian would say. “Brazil is fucked”, they might even say and they would not necessarily be wrong. 

Long story short, the climate is as following nowadays in Brazil: a scandal of corruption implicates the actual government and a semi-public Brazilian multinational  energy corporation Petrobras. Brazil is facing a huge energy crisis due to the lack of water. Many floods have terribly damaged a part of Sao Paulo. Every day, murders of young black people by policemen are denunciated... and I guess this is just the tip of the iceberg. 

-i had an awesome picture to put here, but well you know, technology...-

Honestly, when I hear all that I understand that what makes differences between two countries (except of course all the history and cultural stuff) is also the way it is fucked. Clearly we don’t have the same kind of problems in France, surely we do have some. Not saying one is better than the other, hard to opine between plague & cholera.

France would be a proud spoiled child that keeps ignoring lessons of the past -lessons that inspired a lot of other countries, while Brazil would be a fresh released teenager full of hope and disillusionment. 

Brazil, France and hopefully many more countries have a lot of people fighting for them and this since hundreds years. It could not stop now especially when we have to face people whose ideas are dramatically opposite to ours and most of the time to the principles of respecting each other.

Minas Gerais, food, culture and waterfalls

State of Minas Gerais is 588 383 km² big and counts more than 20 595 000 citizens. Its name and history comes from the great amount of precious stones such as gold, diamond and emerald. Sadly, what goes with the quest of these precious stones and marked history of Brasil and especially Minas Gerais is slavery. Long & sad story short, the result of hundreds years of slavery are a great diversity in the population and colonial cities that seems stuck in history such as Ouro Preto which was admitted in the UNESCO historical patrimony.

& then we split

Brasil is too big, we had to share the work. One can only leave Boipeba with great planned ahead. Maëlle decided to go north through Savaldor and reach Ceara Coast: Jericoacoara. Ewane decided to go south discovering more of the baianese coast before taking a plane in Vitoria, Espirito Santo for other adventures. You’ll read soon how we failed and enjoyed our times!
