My daughter is 13 now and she's having one of those "I wanna be a baby again" phase, so she started hanging out more with her parents these days
We're in the midst of a heatwave, so we stay in the master bedroom, A/C running all the time.
I stay on the desktop, which has two screens. My daughter fell in love with that MasterChef cooking show, so she's watching all the episodes from season 1, on Youtube
She's now on season two and they have a chinese girl.
I usually don't pay much attention, but one thing I noticed was how Brazilians cry and lose their cool and temper so easily.
If they are chosen, they cry. If they lose, they cry. If a competitor uses their advantage and gives another competitor a hard task, they swear vengeance when they have the chance.
The Brazilians are constantly slicing their fingers and committing silly mistakes. They always forget an item or two, they drop the ingredients, they constantly have problems with the appliances because they don't pay attention. And they're ALWAYS complaining about the pressure, about how nervous they are, etc.
But the Chinese girl is on a whole different level. She's always focused, keeps her cool, never brags, keeps a low profile.
I was sure she was going to win, so I checked, she got 2nd place. She lost to Izabel, a girl who fucked up since the beginning. She cut her finger on the first test, then she forgot a small metal circle under a dessert after she served it.
I can imagine the Chinese girl did better, but knowing the retards in Brazil, they would bitch endlessly if she won.
And it's not only her. Other competitors who are foreigners, like an Israeli guy and a Italian also showed to be a lot more in control of their emotions.
Knowing Brazilians all my life, this wasn't a surprise, but seeing how much we lack in terms of self-control, really tells a lot.
So it's not hard to "understand" why we're such a fucked up country, where people kill for nothing and any sort of little problem becomes a huge obstacle to so much.
I've seen some people saying how they like Brazilians because they're a "warm and spontaneous people", but I'm guessing there's two sides to that.
Very interesting Rancidmilko.....I don't know any
Brazilians personally.

Your country has some beautiful women.
I gather Brazil has a collective obsession with looking their very best.....like South Korea.

I liked Brazil, but I didn't have to deal with all the bullshit that you do as a citizen living there.

It seems like a fascinating country to visit..
I like when Rancidmilko talks about Brazil.
My parents lived there for several years. Dad retired young as a steel mill Engineer out of Stelco Steel Hamilton ON ... and went there independently to guide them get into the business long ago .. soon as they had us kids growed up and out of the house
They did live in gated community in Rio and had considerable security. The govt treated them exceedingly well
They brought back some great art. We have 3 oils in our living room now .. beautify country living paintings

It's the same in my country when it comes to 1st Prize winners. They're always choose foreigners.
Blacks and people from Southern Europe are always more animated and lack self control. I used to watch Jerry Springer. :roll:
If you're white, (Especially English) or Japanese, you're in the self controlled contained category at least in public.
I think it is just the whole idea of having a "stiff upper lip," and behaving like the Queen does... Endure everything with a smile on your dial. I was taught to act like the Queen... always be gracious. (Then I got net-ified) :wink:
With Asians, there is this whole Tiger mother thing going on... I haven't bothered to investigate it so I don't have a clue other than, they prepare their children for adulthood and that is a great thing. White people tend to keep their children babies as long as they can and make rods for their own backs if you understand that saying.

Did you visit your parents while they were in Brazil cc?
No. Wish I had, but my life at that time did not allow the time to make it a worthwhile trip .. had young family.

Yes. I wanted to go then and wish I had been able to

I completely understand cc..
I wanted to visit my husband at some places in the world he was sent for short term jobs, but I wasn't able to..
We did live in Kazakhstan for one year.
That must have been an experience

It was a year of amazing experiences and missing things and people from home.
A trip to Brazil is not on my bucket list like a golf trip to Scotland is. But, it's a country I would want to visit.
Scotland you will see VERY different courses. On most you will find semi groomed landing areas with natural rough between
Very sloping greens with turf to perfection ... if you can land and stick on them as many slope away from hole placements

Do you golf cc?
Used to ... Full time as teen & 20s ... Lost interest as courses got crowded and 4some mandatory (not my style)
We did often get to play evenings till dark when working on projects - When it was an existing course, most gave us free cart and play after few were out there .. just the 2 of us alone out there till it was too dark .. We did enjoy that a lot
We never liked to play for score or conventionally .. rather liked alone and could hit several shots into green ... the joy of getting a 7 or 8 iron right, way high in the air, mate had natural draw (right > left) . . would start it maybe 30 ft to right, watch it slowly draw toward pin .. bounce high beyond pin & spin back to pin ... those things we enjoyed. .. a group, crowded course, betting and playing conventionally for score not much.
He has one of those smooth "fluid" natural swings and hit short irons so high one could hardly see it until it headed down and drew toward pin .. I could watch him for hours ..
Seoul knows what I'm sayin
I was OK, just not as "natural fluid swing" like him
Latinos are really romantic people.

I want to see the contrast between Scottish courses and our own.
I've worked in Scotland and Brazil. In the words of my old buddy Gordy Gambino, Brazilian gals are "rootable", Scottish gals aint.
