👋 Greetings
Brazilians are warm and affectionate. Expect kisses on both cheeks (or three in Rio). Hugs are common even in business settings.
🍽️ Dining
Meals are social occasions. Don't eat on the go. At churrascarias, pace yourself - the meat keeps coming! Coffee after meals is tradition.
👔 Dress Code
Brazilians dress casually but stylishly. Beach attire is only for the beach. Flip-flops (Havaianas) are acceptable in casual settings.
🚫 Things to Avoid
- •Comparing Brazil to Spanish-speaking countries
- •Speaking Spanish instead of Portuguese
- •Making the "OK" hand gesture (offensive in Brazil)
- •Discussing politics or corruption casually
