TEXT I
What was the opinion of tourists
(popularly called 'gringos') about Brazil
during the World Cup 2014 ?

The Rio will host the Olympics in two

years and nobody talks English - shops,
restaurants, nothing. I thought that in
addition to Sao Paulo , Rio was also a
metropolis
. But
Rio
is
not
a
metropolis. It is organized as a
metropolis. Have you been to Christ
the Redeemer ? What do you think? It
is very disorganized!
Jane (Croatian) said :
We're loving ! Brazil is a wonderful
country ! Had no problem, the stadium
is good, the organization is good. We
are a large party, we do not want to
come home.
Jan Menke (German) said :

The BBC Brazil spent its time

listening some foreigners who passed
through the World Cup host cities to
find out what were their impressions
about the organization of the country
to receive the World, the infrastructure,
the hospitality of the Brazilians and all
that shuns stereotypes known "country
of football, samba and carnival."
Comments :
Dutch, Croatian, Chinese, Uruguayan,
British, Chilean, Mexican, German,
Korean, Belgian, Canadian, American,
everyone, without exception, cites
"people" as the best in Brazil . They
said :
"People here are amazing" ! ( about
the hospitality of the Brazilian people)
Sangnin ( South Korean) said :
The stadiums are not ready. They are
working but are not ready .

Siegfried (Dutchman ) said :

We're getting better understand why

people were complaining about this
Cup,
why
the
protests
and
everything. Here in Brazil , I have
heard about corruption accusations,
popular protests, deficits and crises.
Tickets are very expensive. Talking to
people everywhere, we start to get a
better sense of what happens in the
country. I believe that in the past,
Brazil did not invest enough. Now, this
country must adjust everything at once
to avoid a worse crisis.
Sam and Adam ( British) said :
We were very surprised, all Brazilians
are great with people, very supportive,
anywhere we go they ask
'Can I help you?', for now there was no
problem.
