Oh yes, Sepultura. One of the best metal bands ever, suplanted only by Pantera but only because i prefer Phil's voice and Dimebag guitar.

Some historians attribute to Portugal the first steps into globalization through trade.

Portugal was the pioneer of many things. They were the ones who brought tea to England, also China porcelain to the rest of the world and many things back and forth from the Americas, to India, to Europe, to Japan, etc.

Hell, they singlehandedly opened trade with Japan when It was a closed country. Then the Spanish jesuits fucked It up trying to convert everyone and they got pissed and closed shop for everyone for centuries. Many Japanese words are still derived from Portuguese.

Lusitanos unite!

I'm Chilean and we have contributed with the famous "Lanza internacional Chileno"

is a Low class not educated Chilean who go to another country for a couple of months and steal as much as he can, Then they go back to Chile, keep doing it in many countries, mostly Europe.
In some part of Europe is well know that Chilean culture is thief.

most famous is Anita Alvarado (the Chilean geisha), she stole a huge amount of money from Japanese government (11 million us)

even when I move out Chile my family said: don't trust any Chilean don't help any Chilean.

As German as I'm Italian/Portuguese. Also as German as Gisele Bündchen :D

I wouldn't have mentioned it if I didn't think about the 'Krieger'-Character from Archer. It's distinctly german and translates to Warrior.
Germans fleeing to Brazil and Argentina is a meme in my circle of friends.

I didn't know the meaning. Yeah, lots of Germans here, especially in the South of Brazil, where most people are Italian and German.

My Dad used to live in New Jersey.
Near Leonardo. Got him to drive me around a few places from Kevin Smith's films

also visited Redbank

and anytime I watch the sopranos I feel out over places I recognise from New Jersey like the drive carefully sign or Turnpike sign.
Also Seabright and Atlantic city.
