"Lenta.ru" continues its story about how women prefer to have fun in different countries of the world.
So, Middle Eastern girls go in search of travel to Lebanon, where they throw noisy and crazy parties, Saudi Arabians go to all sorts of tricks to relax with a glass of wine and a cigarette in their hands, Iranians tightly close windows and doors with mattresses and turn on loud music, and African women come to clubs in their underwear and have fun in the pool until the morning.
This time we will talk about Latin Americans. This region is inhabited by bright and passionate women. They sing at work and on public transport, have Barbie parties, and dance in cemeteries.
Dancing at work and on the bus
“I will never forget my first acquaintance with Cubans. We got on a regular bus that was supposed to take us from the capital to some small town. As luck would have it, one of the passengers had a guitar in their hands. As soon as he ran his hand over the strings, the women perked up. The whole bus began to sing. Those who had at least a little free space also managed to dance, - describes to Lente.ru his first impressions of Havana from a Muscovite named Pavel, who moved to Liberty Island about ten years ago.
In their free time, Cuban girls hang out, sunbathe, play volleyball, swim, dance and sing. Moreover, in the evenings, they do not have to go to any nightclub. You can move rhythmically to the beat of the fiery music right in the middle of Havana. A common sight on the streets of the Cuban capital - girls sipping inexpensive beer have fun, sing and dance.

Pavel's acquaintance Xenia, who has visited the Dominican Republic, also confirms that Hispanics use every opportunity to have fun and cheer up those around them. “You go into a store, there are saleswomen-consultants, suddenly they hear a funny melody on the radio, turn it up, and all together begin to move rhythmically and sing along. It is found literally everywhere, they dance in the pool and cafes, on the streets and beaches. At the same time, Dominican women dress quite openly, unlike Russian women, they are absolutely not shy about their magnificent forms,”the girl told Lente.ru.
Many believe that the openness and good nature with which Latinos immerse themselves in fun is a response to what is happening in their countries. Going to hang out, they cope with the stresses around them, of which there are many.
The answer to the surrounding reality
The states of Latin America have always been such alluring, intriguing, but at the same time quite dangerous states with many problems. For example, for many years this region has been the absolute leader in terms of the frequency and number of murders. In Mexico, the mafia has long infiltrated government structures, with not only policemen, but also army officers participating in the wars on the side of drug cartels. Bribery and bribery of officials flourish in the country, and the main mafiosi run cartels even from prisons.
The population of many Latin American states lives in rather difficult economic conditions. In the already mentioned Cuba, the stratification of society has reached catastrophic proportions. Only representatives of the nomenklatura and those who are somehow connected with the tourism industry can afford a normal life on the island.
The situation is even worse in Venezuela. The Spanish newspaper El Pais once called this state "a country where prices go up while you wait in line."The economic crisis is deepening every day - fewer and fewer Venezuelans can afford to buy goods, including basic necessities. In addition, Latin America and the Caribbean is a region that has seen an increase in the number of early pregnancies in recent years. Every third Hispanic woman becomes a mother between the ages of 15 and 19. A similar situation in the world except in sub-Saharan Africa.
Pumped up women drug lords
The Latin American women themselves, who are considered the most beautiful girls in the world (residents of this region, by the way, more often than others won the Miss World beauty pageant - Lenta.ru note), are sure that in any incomprehensible situation, first of all, they should be good to look like. In general, the standard of beauty in Latin America is considered to be a long-haired woman with curvaceous forms and full lips, with bright makeup and sexy clothes.
This fashion was introduced by the girlfriends and wives of drug dealers, who change their appearance for this with the help of plastic surgeries. They remove a couple of ribs to create a narrow waist, pump silicone into the lips, buttocks, and breasts. An indispensable attribute is loose black hair reaching the waist. In Mexico, for example, even a special term for such ladies appeared - "inflated Culiacan dolls" - that is, women who change their bodies through plastic surgery at the expense of Mexican drug lords or in order to please them.
They wear expensive and rather revealing outfits, they dye brightly, they love hair extensions, eyelashes and nails. Wanting to imitate them, this fashion is adopted by other residents of Latin American countries. Drug dealers' friends usually accompany them to various parties and parties, but they often roll up their own. So, for example, lives the wife of one of the richest and most influential drug lords in the world, 61-year-old Joaquin Guzman, better known as El Chapo - "Shorty".

Since 2017, he has languished in an American maximum security prison. While his 29-year-old wife, Emma Coronel Aispuro, leads a luxurious lifestyle, bragging on Instagram of the riches obtained from her husband's illegal activities and thereby infuriating ordinary Mexicans.
Not only with the help of social networks, Coronel constantly swears to her husband sitting behind bars in love and fidelity, but also uploads her photos in bikinis from expensive resorts and shows things of famous brands. In one of the pictures, she is standing with two seven-year-old twin daughters, who are holding the handbags of famous designers. She threw a special birthday party for her children. The huge hall of their mansion has been converted into a pink Barbie house.
Noise, us and laughter at the carnival in Brazil
While the wives and girlfriends of drug dealers are throwing parties, Brazilian women are preparing for the brightest and most joyful holiday - Carnival Days, which impresses with its energy and scope. They are looking forward to this exciting and beloved celebration for the whole year. The main thing for them is to think over their appearance. The cost of one suit starts from two thousand dollars. The festival takes place in the last days of winter, welcoming the beginning of spring with passionate salsa.
Half-naked beauties-dancers and the atmosphere of universal happiness prevailing everywhere, funny contests, incendiary music. Many people worry about the winner and place bets. Many Brazilian women bring various kitchen utensils from home, which can turn into musical instruments in the atmosphere of everyone's fun. Noise, din, laughter, a sense of celebration engulf the streets.
Local women are competing for the most prestigious title - the queen or princess of the carnival. Everything is assessed here: music, speed of movement, artistic embodiment, costumes, choreography. At the same time, little remains of the luxurious dresses by the end of the celebration, the dancers are so hot that they are ready to gladly exchange parts of their expensive clothes for a can of cold beer.
Dancing with the dead
Mexican women, in turn, dance during another holiday - an analogue of American Halloween - Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. One has to dance in the company of witches, devils and ghosts. For this celebration, women are waiting to "visit" deceased relatives and friends, shops and streets are filled with skeletons, skulls and coffins made of papier-mâché, cardboard, clay, paper.
Locals put on fancy dress in the form of all kinds of evil spirits and go to have fun on the streets, where processions of "dead and skeletons" take place. According to legend, so that deceased relatives “do not get lost”, wreaths of yellow marigolds, the yellow funeral flowers of Latin America, are hung on the doors of houses and apartments.
Corn cakes and sweets are placed at the doorstep, as well as special bread of the dead and a glass of water. It is believed that on the way the perfume will get very hungry and thirsty. Favorite dishes of deceased relatives appear on the table. Particular attention is paid to the preparation of the bed - it is carefully tucked in and then no longer sit on it. Mexican women are sure that after a long journey from the other world, the "guests" should have a good rest.
After celebrating at home, whole families flock to the cemetery to see off the "visitors." They put things in order there and arrange picnics and dances right on the churchyard, usually to live music. Mexicans believe that the dead on this day should have as much fun as the living.
Where it is always warm
"All Latin Americans are distinguished by their cheerful disposition and cheerful attitude to what is happening, but Ecuadorians stand out especially against this background," a 30-year-old resident of Lima named Pamela, who is usually called Pam by friends, boasts to Lente.ru. According to her, no one likes to celebrate as much as the citizens of this country. Fiesta is quite frequent and long-lasting here.

“They can sometimes last from several days to several weeks. People around are drinking, walking, having fun, music, shops, offices, schools does not stop in the squares - practically nothing works,”Pamela continues. She recalls that as a schoolgirl, she loved various festivals, especially the water carnival, which takes place in February.
It is always warm in Ecuador - the temperature throughout the year is about 20 degrees. So both children and adults pour water over each other, spray with foam, throw eggs and sprinkle with flour. The young woman adds: “Sometimes it’s scary to walk under the balconies, where everyone tries to douse you from a basin or bucket. The police sometimes keep an eye on this mess, but often they themselves are happy to take part in such a mess!"
Pamela agrees that Latin America is still a region with serious social, economic problems and high political instability. However, in spite of everything, the inhabitants of the countries included in it are famous for their cheerful attitude, excellent sense of humor and fun pastime with songs and dances.
