Final Journal Entry #4
Recording in 5,4,3,2,1, action! Here I am Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and I am going to dicuss Brazil's culture. Being controlled by the Portuguese for a long time, Portugal has made a big influence on Brazilian culture. Due to Brazil's interesting history, many people come from different or mixed ancestry's. Today they are Europeans, Asians, African Americans, and Native Americans. Most of those people speak a Brazilian form of Portuguese and practice roman Catholicism with some African religions. In terms of sports Brazilians enjoy soccer or as it's called here Futbol. Many cities have stadiums in them and is a common sport in Brazil. I am here to talk to you about not only their culture but Carnival. Carnival is a festival that is celebrated before Lent which is the christian holy season before Easter. Carnival is the most famous holiday in Brazil. For almost a whole week parades and festivals rage on throughout the day and night. These celebrations include Brazilian music and lots of parades. The biggest Carnival was here in Rio De Janeiro. Rio De Janeiro's Carnival drew in 4.9 million people. Carnival means removing meat. This is the end of My Travel journal.
