Rio de Janeiro ...tudo bem

... which translates to everything is fine. You can see that it means much more when you enter the catchy phrase in Google: song lyrics and who has already said all this - it becomes clear that this is more than just a phrase, it's more like a way of life. In German, the similarly commonly used phrase 'alles gut' (everything is good) bothers me. Huh? Never is everything good, those who use it know that exactly. It is usually used to appease when one doesn't feel like dealing with something in more depth. Well - maybe that's the difference between typical German problem-oriented thinking - a little depressed - in contrast to the lightness of the Brazilian way of life. In short, I totally believe them! at least in Rio - we'll see!
