Chapter 297: Samba, You Know!

Leave Argentina, target Brazil, two fatalistic enemies. Let Song Qiao arrange a local model, called Sejir, unfortunately the Chinese is not very good, but the figure is definitely hot.

The wheat-coloured skin here is beautiful, radiant and delicate, far more seductive than Argentina's.

When I came to Rio de Janeiro, I didn't expect that it is surrounded by mountains and seas, not only with the unique beauty of mountains and seas, but also with beautiful light and shadow in the early morning, just like an ink painting.

From the 360-degree observation deck of the famous Monte Cristo, you can see Sugarloaf Mountain, Guanabara Bay, Botafogo Beach, the Maracanã Stadium, where the World Cup final was held, and the Nitroi Bridge, where the Fast and Furious was filmed, with white yachts and sailboats moored in the azure sea.

The coastline stretches for more than 100 kilometers, and there are more than 70 beaches of all sizes, which penetrate into all aspects of social life. As long as you are on the waterfront road, hotels, high-end apartments, shops, and restaurants are lined up, and you can see bikini beauties and surfboard teenagers everywhere.

According to Segil, it has become a common practice that different social classes will choose different beaches to gather. When locals feel that something is not to their taste, they will spread their hands and say: This is not my beach.

In the morning, it is relatively quiet, but unfortunately there are not many people, and in the evening, the popularity is the most vigorous, handsome guys and beautiful eyebrows go out together, surfing, playing sand volleyball, or drinking drinks and chatting in groups, showing a beautiful figure and strong sports cells.

At that time, the beach is crowded with people rushing to jump into the waves, and the vendors who rent out sun umbrellas, grilled shrimp and green coconuts are also a must-see.

Take the cable car directly up to Bread Mountain, which is made up of two mountains, the towering one is P?o de A?úcar and the lower one is El Morro de Urca, both with a 360-degree viewing platform.

The Indians called it Pau-nh-acuqua, which originally meant a tall and straight independent mountain, and its pronunciation was similar to the sugar bread in Portuguese.

What made Johnson feel kind was the monkey juggling and stealing watches on the mountain, this is a marmoset, very small, almost the size of a palm, monkey spirit, sneaking in the grove and being attacked if you are not careful.

The view of Christ, the city centre and the mountains in the distance from the Bread Hill is a bit foggy but also unique.

A lot of gliding in the sky, which turned out to be a featured item, glides down Sao Conrado Mountain and lands at Cucumber Beach below. When I first arrived at the foot of the mountain, I saw many glider companies offering to solicit business, with prices ranging from R$350 to R$500, and expensive ones that could be accompanied by photos and videos.

Since you are here, just try it, you are also a veteran player who has been on the battlefield for a long time, choose the most expensive one, the coach took everyone to the office to sign the contract, fill out the passport, buy insurance, and drive the car all the way up the mountain.

A 10-minute drive into the entrance of the national park, which has a dedicated parking lot for gliding instructors. The instructor and assistant parked the car, unloaded the gear, and walked to the small platform, where several gliders were lining up for takeoff due to the wind direction not quite right.

Begin to explain some movement essentials, how to run, how to put your hands and feet when taking off, and what to do when you land......

The most important thing is not to be afraid to run, to keep a pace with the coach, and at the same time put one hand on the coach's shoulder. The moment you fly off the cliff, you will have a slight feeling of weightlessness, and the feeling of weightlessness will disappear quickly, and with it, the feeling of flying!

Parachute on your back, shout, and rush down the mountain, like a big bird soaring above the sky.

Unfortunately, it only took less than eight minutes to land on Cucumber Beach. After playing with Canopy and paragliding, I finally realized that only the gliding wing is the closest to the feeling of flying, probably because of the lightness that can only be experienced by diving.

Back at the hotel, I experienced the comfort of practicing samba for myself, and I was really motivated!

The next morning, there was a commotion outside the window, and it turned out to be a street parade, crowded with people who looked like they were holding a cosplay contest, and the locals were all dressed in festive costumes, wigs, and painted with gold dust and oil paint on their faces.

The streets were crowded to the brim, as if the whole city was mobilized, everyone was singing, and the men were beating all kinds of musical instruments to the rhythm, and the sound was deafening.

I've heard for a long time that Brazilians are enthusiastic, so what are you waiting for?

The coastal promenade was already packed, and a float with a loud horn was on board with singers and musicians performing hard. I don't know why there is only one song in the whole process, and I sing it over and over again, which is very brainwashing.

Dancers perform samba and the carnival crowd sings and dances along with the floats. All kinds of three-point beauties, all kinds of skin tones, I used to hear that there are more than fifty different races in this country, and now I finally believe it!

It is worthy of being called the largest carnival in the world, the greatest show on the planet, and I have seen the parades of many countries, if those are just folk entertainment, then the carnival of Samba Avenue is a professional competition between samba schools.

Since the 70s of the 20th century, Rio has built a samba dance arena directly in the city, about 700 meters long, flanked by high stands on both sides of the samba boulevard. 60,000 builders worked together and completed it all in just 117 days.

Listening to Segir's words, the best viewing areas are 6, 7, 8, and 9, and if you have money, you must buy a ticket for District 6, go directly to scalpers, throw money and leave.

The procession starts in the second and third districts and ends in the 13th arrondissement, which are the worst places because the actors have not yet entered or have already passed the state of performance. Zone 6 is the judges' seat, and the actors will perform exceptionally hard.

After several rounds of fireworks displays, the atmosphere in the venue was already very enthusiastic, and the six districts were full. With the cheers of the audience, the first team entered and the performance officially began.

The parade is divided into two sessions, each with six teams, and each team performs for about an hour, plus the time for fireworks displays, waiting, and cleaning the scene, basically from 9 o'clock in the evening of the first day to 5 o'clock in the morning of the next day, which is a great test of physical strength.

Each team chooses a different theme to interpret, and while maintaining tradition, the key factor in determining whether the performers can stand out is to be eclectic and innovative.

As the gorgeous floats appeared, SC Johnson saw different themes from Rio, Disney cartoons, movies, the Amazon jungle and more. I've heard that the school spends a year designing themes, rehearsing dances, and making costumes, and every performer is the star of a carnival night!

I've only seen the Brazilian Carnival on TV and news pictures before, and it's a shocking performance that blends the visual and auditory senses and makes it extremely impactful.

The performance poured with passion seems to have a magical power, which can ignite the passion factor in the blood of each visitor, forming a resonance between the performer and the visitor.

All kinds of samba long legs and no money are everywhere, full of vitality, hot and dynamic, it is simply a heavenly visual enjoyment.
