Brazil's people, culture, and cuisine are really global melting pots, since it is mostly made up of immigrants from nations as different as Japan, Italy, Syria, Germany, Korea, Lebanon, and China. Sao Paulo is believed to have the largest Japanese population outside of Japan. Brazilians nowadays are said to be descended from three ethnic groups: Europeans, Africans, and Amerindians. All of this comes together nicely to give Brazil's culture a distinct liveliness.
