A Frenchman who prefers Brazilian food, a resident Olympic athlete in training whose favourite part of Rio de Janeiro appears to be its crabs and a Carioca with a new-found passion for German judo – welcome to the always wonderful, occasionally weird world of the Rio 2016 Hangout.

Check out this video now as four foreigners and a Brazilian lift the lid on what really makes Rio de Janeiro tick.

From the best waterfalls in Alto Boa Vista to the secrets of learning Portuguese fast via the lunchtime etiquette you need to know as an ex-pat in Brazil, don´t miss the latest edition of the Hangout – broadcast entirely in English for the first time.

Our five guests chat, laugh and argue their way through a range of subjects, including the strangest food they´ve ever eaten in Rio (if you can believe it the Frenchman has never tried frogs legs while the Carioca can´t get through a week without them) and their secret tips for the millions of visitors the city can expect in the next two years.

Whether you are a Brazilian born and bred or a fresh-faced gringo, you´ll find something you need to know here*.

With one eye on the World Cup, and the other, as always, on the Games, join our guests as they dissect the highs and the lows of the Marvellous City. As one of the participants says, “you see how excited Cariocas get celebrating a 1-year-old´s birthday party, imagine what it will be like with 200 nationalities and 28 sports here.”

Exactly!
