Santos braziliai mertekkel merve nem tul nagy varos (az agglomeraciot leszamitva lakossaga kabe 420,000) annal fontosabb viszont, hogy itt helyezkedik el Brazilia es egyben Latin-Amerika legnagyobb tengeri kikotoje ahol Brazilia kulkereskedelmenek mintegy fele bonyolodik.
Maga a kikoto kabe 5 km-re fekszik a nyilt tengertol es a kanyargos Santos csatornan lehet megkozeliteni.
A santosi emberek magukat csak "Santista"-nak nevezik, csakugy mint ahogy a sao paulo-iak magukat Paulistano-nak, vagy a rioiak Carioca-nak.
Alljon itt most egy 15 pontos lista arrol amit jellemzo egy Santista-ra, amit majd remenyeim szerint idovel kiegeszitek sajat tapasztalatokkal is.
1.) Annak ellenere, hogy Santos tengerparti varos es az ev nagy reszeben jo ido van, sut a nap es a homerseklet sem megy 20 fok ala, nem minden santosi jut el NAPONTA a partra a hasat suttetni, vagy uszni egyet a tengerben bar sokan szeretik ezt hinni. Es nem, nem mindenkinek az irodaja fekszik a parton, pazar kilatassal a tengerre.
2.) A santosiak buszkek ugyan a biciklis utra amin vegigtekerve elvezheto az ocean latvanya, a sos tengeri levego es a palmafak szegelyezte tengerparti setany, viszont nem szeretik, ha nagyobb sportesemenyek (mint peldaul triatlon) vagy egyeb rendezvenyek alkalmaval a part egy szakaszat lezarjak es ezzek bedugitjak a varoson keresztul futo utakat is.
3.) A biciklis uton bameszkodoknak figyelniuk kell, ha el akarjak kerulni a balesetet, mert a biciklisek nem arrol hiresek, hogy lassitanak, meg forgalmas helyeken sem. Inkabb elutnek.
4.) Nem szeretik, ha sao pauloinak, vagyis paulista-nak hivjak oket. (Paulista = azok az emberek, akik Sao Paulo ALLAMBAN szulettek/elnek, Paulistano = akik Sao Paulo VAROSBAN szulettek/elnek). Magukat inkabb Santista-nak hivjak.
5.) Utaljak, hogy a tengerpartot Sao Pauloval osszekoto autopalya, az Anchieta - Imigrantes hetvegenkent es munkaszuneti napokon rendszeresen bedugul. Ez azert van, mert nagyon sok, egyebkent Sao Paulo-ban elo es dolgozo embernek van lakasa a tengerparton, amit affele hetvegi lakasnak hasznalnak es mint ilyet, csak hetvegeken, munkaszuneti napokon vagy szabadsag alkalmaval latogatnak meg. Egy hosszu hetveget megelozo pentek este a tomeg egyszerre indul el a nagyvarosbol es a parthoz levezeto palyan ilyenkor kilometeres kocsisorok torlodnak fel.
6.) Akar szeretik akar nem a Charlie Brown Jr. egyuttest, mindenkeppen buszkek arra mikor Santos varos neve szerepel vagy az egyuttessel keszitett interjukban, vagy az egyuttes dalszovegeiben.
7.) Amikor azt kerdezik toluk merre laknak, nem a varosreszt vagy a keruletet nevezik meg, hanem azt a csatornat amihez a lakohaz a legkozelebb esik. Santos-t 7 csatornarendszer osztja reszekre (Os sistema de Canais de Santos) amit az eso elvezetesere epitettek tobb mint szaz evvel ezelott.
Sokszor a csatorna mellett futo utnak a neve is feledesbe merul, es csak Canal 1, Canal 2 stb...van kiirva a jelzotablakra is.
8.) Nem szeretik, ha Santos-t a turistak keverik Sao Vicente-vel, vagy Praia Grande-val. Ez abbol adodik, hogy ugyanaz a tengerpart huzodik vegig hosszan, erintve ezeket a varosokat, es az odatevedo idegen neha osszekeveri ezen varosok keruleteinek a neveit Santos varos keruleteivel.
9.) Portugalul az egyes szam masodik szemely ("te") "voce". Viszont nehany allamban, mint peldaul Rio Grande de Sul-ban, vagy eszakon a masodik szemelynek a "tu"-t hasznaljak "voce" helyett. Santos-ban is a "voce" a gyakrabban hasznalt (es inkabb elvart), megis vannak akik eloszeretettel hasznaljak a "tu"-t.
Ebbol eppen a minap lett egy vicces szituacio mivel az en anyosom is (leven eszakon, Pernambuco-ban szuletett) a "tu"-t hasznalja "voce" helyett. Par napja fozott nekem zoldseglevest, mert tudja, hogy szeretem a leveseket es ki is fejezte, hogy direkt nekem csinalta:
O: Eu fiz esta sopa para tu (ugy ejtve a "para tu"-t, hogy "patu") (Neked foztem ezt a levest)
En: Pato que? (Kacsa mit?)
O: Eu fiz esta sopa PARA TU! (meg mindig ugy ejtve, hogy PATU)
En: Voce fez sopa PATO para mim?? Que tipo de pato? (Foztel nekem kacsalevest? Milyen kacsat?)
Az en portugalom meg nem annyira jo, hogy ertsem ezeket a kis nuanszokat, de aztan a vegen csak sikerult kibogozni ki mirol is beszel es jot rohogtunk mindannyian.
10.) A gyerekek tobbsege, kulonoskeppen a lanyok legalabb egyszer mar beiratkoztak mukorcsolya tanfolyamra, mig a legtobb felnott tagja valamilyen klubnak (tenisz vagy regatta)
11.) Keves olyan santosi van, aki legalabb egyszer ne korcsolyazott vagy biciklizett vagy triciklizett volna a Praca do Sapo-n (Bekak tere).
12.) Az egyik legnepszerubb hetvegi program a papucsban valo setalgatas vagy a varosban, vagy a bevasarlokozpontok egyikeben, vagy a tengerparton. Ha van gyerek, akkor az Akvariumban vagy a Botanikus kertben.
13.) Ezen setak elmaradhatatlan "kelleke" a kokuszdiole, vagy a cukornadle. (Ami engem illet, vagy Guarana-val vagy Fanta Uva-val, voros szolos Fantaval szoktam kiserni a pastelt)
14.) Az osszes focihoz kapcsolodo unnepseg a Fuggetlenseg teren tortenik, amit a helyiek csak Gonzaga (a varosresz neve) szivenek hivnak.
15.) Es ha mar foci, akkor barmelyik helyi reszletesen utbaigazit, ha a Vila Belmiro-ba, vagyis az Urbano Caldeira stadionba akarsz eljutni meg akkor is ha elotte sosem jart ott. (Az Urbano Caldeira, vagy mas neven Vila Belmiro a legnagyobb labdarugo stadion Santos-ban es ez ad otthont a Santos FC-nek is, ahol Pele vagy Neymar is kezde palyafutasat).

Considering the size of Brazil, Santos cannot be called one of the largest cities in the State of Sao Paulo, however the biggest seaport in Brazil and Latin-America is placed here where half of the Brazilian`s foreign trade takes place.
The port itself is about 5 km from the open sea and can be reached via Santos channel.
People who born in Santos city just call themselves as "Santista", in the same way how people from Sao Paulo city call themselves as "Paulistano", or people from Rio as "Cariocas".
Here is a short list of what a typical Santista is like and hopefully later on I can add my own experiences as well:
1.) Many people think that living in a coast city like Santos is equal to go for swimming and walking on the beach everyday but even people like to thing that it`s true, it isn`t...unfortunately. Most of the people get to the beach on the weekends only even for a short walk; they just work for too long hours to get there before 6pm, before sunset, which is about at this time all year.
2.) Santistas are very proud of the bike path that follows the edge of the beach, canals and reaches the center. They are very annoyed though by events that close the beach promenade and cause congestion in the city, such as triathlons and cycling.
3.) Cyclist are willing to run over people who are parading the route - hence better to pay attention all the time to avoid accidents.
4.) They don`t like to be called Paulista. (Paulista = people who born/live in Sao Paulo STATE. Paulistano = people who born/live in Sao Paulo CITY). They prefer being called just Santista.

5.) They really hate traffic jam that occurs on the motorway called Anchieta-Imigrantes System on long weekends. In situations like this, a real Santista descends or ascends the mountain grumbling about the injustice of having to use the Anchieta for the Paulista (ops, São Paulo) is always benefited from the slopes of Imigrantes. Of course, they also complains about the toll price.
6.) Not everyone takes up publicly, but most people love and can sing all the songs of Charlie Brown Jr. Loving or hating the band style Chorão, city dwellers are proud to hear the name of Santos in interviews and in the lyrics.
7.) When they are asked where they live, they does not say the district, but the Canal. (Santos is divided by 7 Canals that are more than a hundred years old.)
8.) They always want to give a geography lesson for those who confuses other coastal beaches with Santos (never speak about Boqueirao Santos if you are in Praia Grande).
9.) They know that they use the personal pronoun "you" in the wrong way, but loves to talk like that.
In Portuguese "you" is "voce" but in some of the states "tu" is used. In Santos "voce" is preferable but for example my mother-in-law, who is from North of Brazil, likes using "tu" as well. It caused a funny situation once. She made a vegetable soup to me as she knew I liked vegetable soup. She wanted to express that she made soup especially for me and conversation was as below:
She: Eu fiz esta sopa para tu (pronuncing "para tu"-t, as "patu") (I made this soup for you)
Me: Pato que? (A duck what?)
She: Eu fiz esta sopa PARA TU! (still pronuncing PATU at the end of the sentence)
Me: Voce fez sopa PATO para mim?? Que tipo de pato? (Have you made duck soup to me? what kind of duck?)
By the end we figured out what the other intended to say and laughed a lot at the pronunciation.

10.) The majority of children, especially girls, have already made figure skating lessons while most of the adults are or has been a member of a club of the city, such as tennis, the British and the International Regatta.
11.) A real Santista have already been skating, riding bicycle or tricycle in Frog Square.
12.) Over the weekend, walking in flip-flops all day and doing nothing (or just going for shopping, go to restaurant or cinema ...) is the best program for most of the people. If they have kids visiting Aquarium and the Orchid is basic.
13.) During a walk on the beach people always take coconut water or sugarcane juice that they buy in one of the kiosks. (I personally always have either Guarana or Fanta Uva for pasteis)
14.) Any football celebration runs at the Independence Square, which is called "heart of Gonzaga".
15.) Any local can explain in detail how to get to the Vila Belmiro, even those who never entered the stadium of Santos. It is the biggest stadium of Santos city and gives home of Santos Football Club where Pele or Neymar started their career.
