Wonderful, happy people and beautiful beaches. We know about the violence, poverty, and other problems there too. Some of us who are lucky enough to visit Brazil can look beyond the bad and see there is a lot of good in Brazil too.

I'm British:

Brazil is my favourite country in the world , I have returned there seven times .
Why : The Brazilians are extremely friendly , and I have been on long bus rides and complete strangers have insited in paying my drinks.
Your music is great:

Samba is the Brazilian style of music that everybody knows. It is famous throughout the world. Bossa Nova is well-known among jazz enthusiasts. Nevertheless, the Brazilian music does not get the international attention to which it is entitled. Who learns more about Brazilian music, discovers a new world of sounds, styles and rhythms varying from classical music to hiphop-like styles.

Famous Brazilian styles of music are:

Axé
Bossa Nova
Capoeira music
Choro
Música Popular Brasileira or MPB
Pagode
Samba
Tropicália

Food in Brazil is excellent and Cheap.
The potions are large .
The food is different in the various regions of Brazil>
It a fusion of my many styles.
The Brazilians blended ingredients and recipes from various continents long before Europeans and North-Americans spoke about fusion kitchen
It's a mixture of European, and African and Japanese.

In cities the kilos restaurant where the restaurants serve a buffet style food and you pay by the weight .This has replaced the American fast food places.

In the North you have the Amazon , which is the world's greatest rainforest.

Brazil has so many great beaches , they are too many to list.

Also you have many cities that are protected by UNESCO, because of the beautiful historical buildings :

Salvador, Paraty, Olinda, Sao Luis and the gold cities in Minas Gerais

Also Brazil has the greatest football team (soccer team) in the world.

Brazil has some of greatest Artists in the World and
cities like Rio are unique..

It depends. I have lived in Brazil, so I am not a typical American with regards to this question, but I do know what a lot of people say to me:

1) It's Dangerous
2) It's Poor
3) Beautiful Beaches
4) They mistake the local language for Spanish sometimes, but much less than you hear people making it out to be. I'd say only 20% say Spanish. Most will say Portuguese or "I don't think it's Spanish, what do they speak there?"
5) Pele and soccer
6)Amazon

They know little about the history, the society, food or culture. They don't realize it had a dictatorship 20 years ago or don't realize they have a democracy today. They think the food is spicy like Mexican. They don't realize that the South is full of German and Italian immigrants. They know Rio and what it looks like but not Sao Paulo.
