A Brazilian In… Milan & New Zealand

 

Caroline Miwa Nemoto
Vice: Why Italy, Brazilian lady?

Caroline: What were your first impressions of Pizzaland? Tell me about this “social project” you were working on. What do you think causes this? Makes perfect sense. OK, so besides poverty, another stereotype is that Brazilians prefer to “feel” rather than to “think.” There are many who will be very sad to hear this. She is topless though, right? Final question. You look like you might be Asian. Are you of Japanese descent?

 

Alice Galeffi
Vice: Hello, Alice. What are you doing in the land of the Kiwis?

Alice: Are there any directors or artists from New Zealand that made you want to come here?
Have you taken part in that ridiculousness yet? Bungee jumping?
What do you miss most about home?
Do you find that New Zealanders think Brazilians just want to party all the time and rub their genitals on everyone? I’ve met some Brazilians here and that characterization seems true.

laughs Are you saying Kiwis don’t know how to have a good time?
What’s the funniest thing about New Zealanders?
Do you have a boyfriend here?
And your parents actually bought that one? So, can Kiwis dance?
That’s borderline racist. Did you get the job?
By the way, how do you say New Zealand in Portuguese?
Nova Zelândia. That’s beautiful. It makes it sound like it’s some mystical land full of gnomes and talking animals. Hopefully I’ll see you in Auckland or Rio sometime. Actually, let’s make it Rio.
