    Edwardo 2nd time

    December 31, 2015 in Brazil ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C

    I went to spend some time with Edwardo again who shared his amazing stories while the sun baked outside.

    For 3 hours we chatted and he shared more insights of Rio the country. Some notes :
    - calling black people creole or monkeys is highly offensive. He used to get into fights over this.
    - the people from North are from Danish colonies. Strong sturdy due to the land they grow in is stark and dry, they are very timid as people which annoys him a lot.
    - Bahia is all black, black women are great lovers and not fragile to try things.
    - down south there is a large rivalry between sao Paolo and Rio. Rio natives are call cariones and mean the house of the white man. Sao Paolo are paoloites and although cultured a lot don't have the natural beauty of Rio.
    - são Paolo access to is gentler, further south are colonies of Italy and separately Spain and separately Poland
    - Edwardo was married to a women whom he had 5 kids. During military leave he was in a relationship where he has a black daughter.
    - his son in law is Pakistani muslim
    - his Comraderie with his friends is beautiful. The poke and tease each other, call each other gay and stealing his plants. Really close friends.

    This is a taste of some of our chats.
