For example, in the second case, there is strong tourism in Brazil to "cold weather" cities such as Gramado and Campos do Jordão, which attract many Brazilians but not necessarily many people from outside, or to cities with amusement parks in Penha or Vinhedo.

In the first case, there are a number of natural parks and historical cities that are very interesting and attractive, but where you will hardly see anyone speaking anything other than Portuguese.

Hey guys!

I'm desperately trying to find the original song the sample at the beginning of the linked song is from and I was wondering if someone knows if this is a sub-saharan language. It is not german and it is probably not spanish (even though the title is spanish), at least I don't understand a word.

Maybe you have an idea what language it could be or even know where the song is from! I appreciate any clues :) thanks!

Hello, I recently bought some African Licorice Chew Sticks and I have been chewing them daily, but I just learned that licorice roots contain glycyrrhizin which can be poisonous in high doses. I can't figure out how much glycyrrhizin is in a single chew stick, so I don't know if I am consuming too much. I figured the best way to see how much is too much is to ask people who regularly chew these sticks.

Does anybody on here chew licorice sticks? I'd love some simple advice on how often I can chew one or if I should spit out the juice and stuff. Does anyone know of anyone who got sick from one?

Thanks for the help.

Edit: Personally I think it's an opportunity, aid money is one of the reasons Africans had become so complacent. The fact that we can not take care of our people in 2025 despite the enormous resources on the continent is unacceptable for me . We need to do more in terms of governance and accountability if we are ever going to realize the dream of an independent and prosperous Africa.

i am currently making a game that has levels in multiple parts of the world,there are still no levels in africa, i want to know a famous city to know what to include

Would Nigeria be overpopulated or you think otherwise.

Hi everyone, I am looking for great books from Cameroon for our Read the World challenge over at r/bookclub. The book can be any length, and genre, but it must be set or partially set in Cameroon. Preferably the author should be from Cameroon, or at least currently residing in Cameroon or has been a resident of Cameroon in the past. I'm looking for the "if someone could only ever read one book from Cameroon which book should it be" type suggestions.

The book should be available in English

Thanks in Advance

It points to market frictions; a lack of regional integration and credit; declining foreign investment; and limited infrastructure and electricity supply while mentioning Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Mauritius, and a few other bright spots.

Overall, I think it did a decent job of providing an overview of African growth and development, with implications both for business and policy. However, I wish it spoke more to trade (both within and beyond the continent). And I wish it also had an article on differences between various countries in Africa.

Even though I am not a regular Economist reader, I very much enjoyed reading this report because of my interest in Africa.

What do you think? I'd love to hear people's opinions.

Hello! I started a bookclub to read at least one book from an author in every country in the world. I often like to research the country and search for a recipe from someone from that country so we can learn more about the country, the food, and the culture. This month we're reading a book about Malawi from a Malawian author.

I was looking into cooking this recipe: https://food52.com/recipes/82918-malawian-chicken-curry-recipe

I'm excited as I think the author is from Malawi. That being said, when I went to my local African market, they had really nice yellow corn flour made in the shop. Though I think Malawians traditionally use maize (white) corn flour for nsima, I purchased yellow because it was made in the shop.

Did I make a big mistake in purchasing yellow corn flour instead of white corn flour for Malawian nsima?

Thank you so much for your time!

I am a Congolese woman and was born and raised in the west and sex toys (vibrators/ artificial intimate body parts) are not a big deal to me at all. My boyfriend and I recently had an extremely huge disagreement over the fact that I have sex toys. It got to the point where he told me that he would never entertain or accept this if he was in Cameroon dating a Cameroonian woman. He said that I can do whatever I want with them for now but once we get married, he never wants to find them in the house. I don’t think this is a man thing because I dated African American men, white men and Latino men who were bothered but never enough to fight over it or end a relationship. Do they not sell sex toys in Cameroon? Do women not use vibrators there? I didn’t expect my boyfriend to be 100% okay with it but I thought cause we are both young (27 and 28) and progressive it wouldn’t be such a big deal. It’s making me hesitant to marry him because my sex toys are not cheap and they are high quality. I don’t want to throw them out if/when we get married.

Are there child psychologists in Africa? Or just generally psychologists? If anyone has ever met them, how do they live?

I don't know about y'alls countries, but I know a lot of people treat themselves brutally in my country, and children are treated and taught to treat themselves quite harshly too. There is a very small percentage of people who care about their mental health, things like intentional self love, being happy, love, etc... These things are considered extras and luxury and nonsense.

So back to my question, psychologists or mental health practitioners, who should be the ones encouraging people to care about their mental health, how do they live? How do they treat their children? How do they mix in with society? Do they also hit their children because they're angry and they also believe it's the right way to discipline? (Personally I don't believe in corporal punishment as the right way to discipline a child.) I mean, maybe I'm not wording this properly, but can someone get my question?

Is Islam growing in Africa? What is the growth of Islam compared to other religions?

What are the stereotypes between African countries and peoples? What are the stereotype of somebody from Ghana or Senegal or Nigeria? Or Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia or Kenya? Or Tunisian and Moroccan and Mauritian? Or Namibian and South African? Or Xhosa and Zulu? Or Igbo and Yoruba? Or Oromo and Tigray?

I always heard of stereotypes of what different Europeans are like and what Middle Eastern and different Asians are like but not much about what different stereotypes exist of African countries except for maybe North or East African Stereotypes?

Appreciate your thoughts and perspective. Thanks!

Ava Chris Tyson has done a lot of good work in Africa through the Beast Philanthropy foundation like helping build 100 wells or bringing electricity to a village, but I have also heard that Africans can be transphobic. Also Chris Tyson has been accused of other controversies... but the age of consent laws vary by African country so that could possibly affect yalls opinion of him. In conclusion what do you all think of this new hot to trot celebrity It girl????

Guys, South Africa has one of the slowest visa processing times Ive heard of. A visa for 5 years can take up to 2 years to process (according to my research and asking around).

Yet I see so many foreigners arriving to SA and just staying there (Malawians, Zambians, Egyptians, Indians, Pakistans). Are there all living there illegally? Maybe border hopping

I'm facing a problem, I want to stay in South Africa with my dad who is there on a retirement permit. I plan on applying for a critical skills visa (software development) but the question will I have to wait for the 2 years (worst case scenario) processing before I can legally stay in SA?

I'm a Malawian and 21yo btw. Any input is appreciated ♥️♥️

I'm from Argentina and on Saturday it's gonna be 10 years since Nisman (lawyer who was investigating a terrorist attack that sorta implicated the vice president) was found dead the morning before he was supposed to go to court to present his evidence.

And I know it's not that fair of a comparison to the former Mozambican president. But like... how's the culture around that part of your history?

Do you guys make jokes about it? (Cause we do) Are there like conspiracy theories about it? Or do you guys not think about it anymore... let me know cause I'm lowkey obsessed.

How do you keep your houses cool during heat waves? We are partaking in a school competition and are required to develope a solution to a real life problem and we have suggested to build roofs out of refelctive materials in remote regions. Are there already adequate long term solutions, especially in the context of climate change? Thanks.

Any Thomas Sankara books you suggest I read? Have been fascinated with him recently.

For me I would say South Africa, then Congo. I wish I could put Jamaica or Haiti third, but they’re in the caribbean, so I’d probably put Nigeria.

What are your thoughts?

Just wondering if it’s a common topic of discussion to thank him or just what you all think about all the work Bill gates has done over there?

I know many countries have jollof but which one is the best?

And are songs from artists in other continents usually big across Africa?

Degrowth is an anticapitalist economic analytical framework that basically asserts that the global north is still plundering the global south as in colonial Times and that capitalism is inherently unsustainable and unjust. Given that Africa also has failed to catch up economically that is in average real gdp per capita with the rest of the world, it also asserts that the global inequality gap particularly with respect to Africa is inherently part of the system and the exploitation of Africans through Europeans. Famous scholars, for example, include Jason Hickel. Would you agree to this degrowth analysis of why Africa on average has remained poor or not so much and what is your economic worldview?

We are hosting an exchange student from Malawi in a couple of months. She is from a small village.

I want to make her feel at home and am getting together some things for a welcome basket: things like warm slippers, a toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.

However, I am a white American lady and I know that she may have different needs than I do. What would be some good things to include in the basket? (Her hair is currently in braids if that is relevant)

Hello All.

I received Esan results in my ancestry test. I wanted to know where I should start to learn more about Esan culture.

What is the traditional religion? What are Esan's most proud of? What's a good representation of your pop culture?

Look forward to learning more. THANKS!
