What do native people wear in Brazil?

Answer 1

Brazilians are a fun-loving people. While attitude in the South may be somewhat colder and more reserved, from Rio upwards people usually boast a captivating attitude towards life and truly enjoy having a good time. Some may even tell you that beer, football, samba and barbecue is all they could crave for.

Friendship and hospitality are highly praised traits in the Brazilian society. Family values and social connections are also strongly valued and the distinction between known and unknown people may acquire a significant weight in day-to-day interaction. To people they have met, or at least they know the name, Brazilians are usually very open, friendly and sometimes quite generous. Once introduced, until getting a good reason not to, a typical Brazilian may treat you as trustfully as he would treat a best friend. This may have an agreeable impact, but it also means that outsiders not always get the same special treatment as locals. Nevertheless, Brazilians are reputedly one of the most hospitable people in the world and foreigners are usually treated with respect and often with true admiration. * Cheek-kissing is very common in Brazil, among women and between women and men. When two women, or opposite sexes first meet, it is not uncommon to kiss. Two men will shake hands. Trying to shake hands when offered a kiss will be considered odd, but never rude.

In some places when people first meet, they will kiss three times, alternating right and left cheeks.

* Almost everyone can dance and Brazilians are usually at ease with their own bodies. While talking, they may stand closer to each other than the regular American or Northern European, and also tend to touch each other more. It's not uncommon to touch each other on the shoulder or arm occasionally while speaking and visitors should not take this as impolite or as a violation of personal space.Brazilians tend to be very open and talk freely about their problems, especially about political corruption and other problems. But don't imitate them, as they are likely to feel offended if you criticize their country or customs. In some small towns, local politics can be a sensitive issue and you should be careful when talking about it. Be polite, as always.

As of their revision of the 1988 Constitution, Brazil has a strong law against racism, according to which racism is a crime for which bail is not available,and must be met with imprisonment. This is taken very seriously.Though racial tolerance is not as widespread as would be desired in Brazil, racism is also very frowned upon,so it's better not to take your chances,as it can result in serious problems. Any person who feels discriminated for their skin color can and sometimes will prosecute the offender.On that note,refrain from making any racist remarks anywhere in the country.

Remember that Portuguese is not Spanish. Both languages can be very similar, but they differ in vocabulary and verb conjugation. It's ok to mix Portuguese with Spanish sometimes, especially because Portuguese may be difficult for foreigners, but don't expect people to understand what you're saying 100% of the time.

Answer 2

That is not a proper question, it's just a racist joke.
