The Landscape is much better than in the US. All kinds of traditions can be kept in a really good condition. The weather is more gentle. It’s really nice to see little old Dutch, German towns in Brazil. Big cities, blocks and Autobahns are just soo boring to look at it. People are more likely to talk about how to improve living standards, new technology but rarely think about how to preserve old traditions. Old traditions don’t necessarily mean slums. It’s rich in cultures and heritages, European heritages and cultures, things may disappear in the coming decades due to modernisation. A kind of make-over and standardised just like fast fashion, low quality clothing and being swept away so quickly. The cost of environment and natural resources are HUGE! Externalities are too high.
Unfortunately we had a dictator called Getúlio Vargas who chased immigrants and prohibited them to maintain their cultures. My grandma lives in a small village in Santa Catarina and in the past they only used to speak in an Italian dialect called “bergamasco”. If Getúlio Vargas would have killed himself earlier in his life, probably today these languages and dialects would be alive.
Hey, you have to visit the city of Santa Maria do Jetibá, the majority of the population speaks German, a German colony in the state of Espírito Santo.
There are many other colonies in brazil of many different european countries, like Nova Petrópolis (German), Garibaldi (Italian), Antônio Prado (also Italian) and the ones I mentioned are in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, there are many more in other states!
The dutch arrived on our shores in Southern Africa and brought with them evil that would last 400 years. They caused death, sickness, starvation, impoverishment, loss of identity and many other atrocities to our People. They kidnapped and trafficked and enslaved Indonesian, Malaysian, Indian, Chinese, West African and East African People and brought them to our shores. Our People are still dealing with trauma and poverty to this day, because the descendants of these dutch settlers, oppressed and formed the racist apartheid state of south africa. We "people of colour", do not hold the dutch in high regard.
Uma pena que tu não foi no "Zeskamp" que acontece sempre no mês de julho que é a Olimpíada Intercolonial das Comunidades Holandesas, um evento esportivo de interação entre as seis principais colônias de imigração holandesa no Brasil que são Holambra e Campos de Holambra em São Paulo, Castrolanda, Carambeí e Arapoti no Paraná e Não-me-Toque no Rio Grande do Sul. Esses videos mostram como é. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDRwxZWi9aE&t=133s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tvR11VSRxk&t=37s
Fun fact: the reason there were indonesians in Carambeí is because most of settlers who came to Paraná were from Dutch Indonesia and arrived shortly after Netherlands lost Indonesia. If you go to that same restaurant in Carambeí on weekends you can even find some traditional indonesian dishes.
Also, Batavo and Frisia are huge dairy companies in Brazil, so most of the descendents of the dutch settlers are now filthy rich.
If you wanna check out other colonies near by go to Witmarsum in Palmeira, it's menonite russian/volga german colony. They speak a dialect of german that is very similar to dutch actually and the museum there has an excelent guide. Food is great too, although it's more turisty and less authentic.
How lovely! I didn't know Paraná state had two cities of the Dutch diaspora. Frisian and Twents are my favorite minority languages of the Netherlands and of course I also like Dutch. In fact, when I studied German for a few years in my adolescence (and later for two years at the University), I did it because German was the closest language to Dutch I could get to learn back then (in the 70's and early eighties it was hard to find material teaching Dutch here)😇 Dankje wel for one more interesting video. I always give the thumbs-up and share, by the way.
6:35 Nossa, aqui realmente parece a Holanda… Uma curiosidade é que um dos deputados federais que atualmente é um dos mais atuante no Brasil é descendente de holandeses: Marcel Van Hattem.
Só estou esperando o momento em que os europeus tentarão mais um Euromaidan no Brasil ou o financiamento de revoluções separatistas a fim de nos fragmentar ou enfraquecer pra africanizar. Nas revoltas separatistas liberais não conseguiram.
Não sei o porquê desse suposto interesse repentino desses serviços de inteligência e propaganda da Europa no Brasil agora. O país que tanto humilharam. Só porque estamos indo para os BRICS e deixando de ser colônia que nem os países do Sahel.
Very interesting places, I only knew about Holambra beforehand, but knew there were other cities "colonized" by the dutch.
This is old footage and you aren't in Brazil anymore, right? When you come back, please visit Petrópolis and Nova Friburgo in Rio de Janeiro. Very nice historical places you might enjoy
A fact that few Brazilians know is that a large part of Brazilians are descendants of the Dutch. In my case, I discovered that I am a descendant of a man from Doesburg named Gerhard Bentinck, who came to Brazil during the Dutch occupation, and another named Willem van der Haegen. My neighbor is Dutch, from The Hague, and she keeps a butterfly frame.
I didn’t know you were dutch! because I saw you speaking also german, english and portuguese correctly 😅 I’m brazilian and I also speak german, english but instead of dutch I can only speak swedish 😅
Bom dia. "Carambehy" era como se escravia antigamente no Brasil. Outra curiosidade: o português brasileiro, de tempos em tempos, vem mudando ao ponto de alguns linguístas já o considerem um subgrupo linguístico do português lusitano. Esse lugar aí é o Parque Histórico de Carambeí onde é retratada as primeiras construções dos imigrantes holandeses e dos indonésios trazidos por eles para esse local. Aquele prédio onde tem escrito "Carambehy" é uma réplica da estação de trem daquela época. Abraços e bom passeio.
Hey Lewis, You should make a video of some city’s Kerbfest (Traditional german festivity that marks the founding of the first church in a locality) if you have the opportunity, it is more common in the north of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina and there is at least one going on in every month. Just go to the more traditional ones, because some have just become an excuse for drinking and have lost the traditional part. You can look it up on the internet where and the date they happen in each municipality.
Sadly, the ironic tone in some parts of the video is arrogant and not very respectful. The lady at the reception desk was clearly holding back because she knew her Dutch isn't good and probably other arrogant tourists were sarcastic against her because of that, and even shamed her on the Internet. But she's a humble person, who probably doesn't have the resources to study more, doing the best she can at her position.
And stating things like "that's just a bunch of random stuff" ignores the fact that Castro is a big Japanese colony that was very close to Castrolanda. Obviously there would be some cultural exchange between the neighbors, and the Dutch would be keen to purchase Japanese ornaments. While this is a Dutch colony, it wasn't an isolated island, so don't expect it to be identical to the Netherlands.
I love all of these videos that you are doing of small towns representing other European countries, but located in Brazil! So fun!

Europe will go bankrupt again and they will flee to Brazil again
Visit Arapoti , another Dutch colony.

AND Holambra in são Paulo????
Exageradu.
its sad that back in 1930-1945 immigrants where not allowed to speak other languages due to the dictatorship that happened
I’m 5% Dutch cause of Dutch Brazil, my family is from the interior of northern Bahia.

Hey man, if you are in Parana yet, come to Campo Largo .Here we have a park called Ouro fino which is very nice park.

Why did you cut the parts where you speak with people in Dutch?
Very interesting places, I only knew about Holambra beforehand, but knew there were other cities "colonized" by the dutch.

Hi, the name of the town is CASTRO, with a C. In the title it´s Gastro, with a G.

I didn't know these places, but wow, they are very beautiful and organized
Wow amazing.
Love these videos man! As a swede in sao paulo I love to see all of these european cultures around here <3 Welcome to Sao Paulo
