Brazilian customs are similar to those in Europe. Brazilians are sometimes more formal and sometimes very accommodating. When they first meet, people shake hands as a courtesy, but relatives and friends greet each other, and they are accustomed to hugging and kissing their cheeks.
Not only that, but even strangers who don't know each other at all can hug and kiss their cheeks. The "social" etiquette of kissing the cheek is kissing on each cheek. Men and women greet each other cheek-to-cheek, and women and women are used to it, but in most social circles, black people are not interested in this set, and are accustomed to shaking hands and patting each other's shoulders with their left hands.
Closer men used to hug each other and slap each other their backs. However, due to the high and low social status, there are subtle differences in who should kiss whom.
Westerners don't care about showing affection in front of the public, they are generous and hospitable, they come to their homes as guests, there is always wine in the wine glass, and the plates and coffee cups are never empty.
The Brazilian nation is industrious, serious, serious and self-confident, and people's concepts are strengthening day by day, they know that life is not easy, but they are full of confidence and optimism about the future, and believe that Brazil will become a world power and a great power in the near future.
Speaking of Brazil, people will naturally think of the proud figures of those Brazilian players on the green field of the World Cup; they will think of brazilian girls dressed in strange costumes at the carnival; the rhythmic samba music echoes in their ears, and the smell of grilled meat seems to be heard in the air...
Indeed, Brazilian football, carnivals, samba and grilled meat have long been famous around the world, and people can more or less appreciate the unique and rich national flavor of Brazil.
This unique process of migration and intermarriage has created a unique culture in Brazil. Brazilian culture has both the simplicity of indigenous Indians, the enthusiasm of Africans, and the solemnity of Europeans.
However, it is not a simple reproduction of European, African or Indian culture, it is an open culture, and in the process of eclecticism of multiple cultures, it has gradually formed its own unique culture.
In Brazil, you can taste a wide variety of delicacies: roast meat from southern pastures, clay pot stews from the central mountains, seafood chowder from the Northeast, boiled fresh fish from the Northern Amazon and chowder cooked bean rice eaten by slaves in the past.
These unique Brazilian dishes are more or less traces of foreign cultural influences: pottery stews have the imprint of Portuguese cooking methods, seafood chowders are fused with African favorite spices, and boiled fresh fish has the traditions of indigenous Indians.
In addition, immigrants from all over the world have brought pure ethnic specialties, you can taste authentic French dishes, pasta, Korean barbecue, Japanese cuisine, Chinese cuisine and antique Arabic dishes...
Brazilians are warm, unrestrained, cheerful and simple. In your dealings with Brazilians, you will never feel indifferent or rejected, you can talk to Brazilians easily and freely, and even become close friends soon, and you can also feel the childlike naughtiness and free habits of Brazilians.
Brazilians love to spend weekends with friends and family. Every leisure day, you can see Brazilians sitting around the bar, by the pool, on the beach by the sea, eating roast meat and boiled beans, drinking beer, talking about the mountains all day and all night, and singing.
Brazilian life is lively and loves singing and dancing. At concerts in Brazil, audiences will never sit tight and listen with bated breath. As long as the music starts, the audience will follow the rhythm of the music and dance with the singers' singing. Samba, country music, rock 'n' roll are all favorite music of Brazilians.
Brazil is also a religious power. In addition to Catholicism, there are Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, African Kanton Lailais, etc. in Brazil, including Gothic churches, domed mosques and temples with red-walled cornices.
Brazilians are devout believers, and whenever they encounter religious festivals, thousands of devotees flock to the city. Of course, in Brazil, the most influential, the largest number of believers should be Catholic, more than 80% of the country's people believe in Catholicism, so the layout of each town is planned with the cathedral as the center.
In ancient cities such as Black Gold, Olinda, Fortaleza, and Recife, there is a church in almost every neighborhood, and the largest number is in the city of Salvador, where it is said that there are as many as 366 churches. If you want to change churches every day, walk around exactly once a year, and don't even worry about a leap year.
In Apalesida, in the state of São Paulo, there is a church that claims to be the largest in the world. This church can accommodate tens of thousands of believers, and the square outside the church can accommodate hundreds of thousands of worshippers, which can accommodate thousands of tourist cars.
Brazil is vast and rich in products, creating a unique national style of Brazil, which carries a rich romantic tone of tropical style and has a strong affinity.
A foreign philosopher once said, "The longer you live in China, the more you like Chinese." I think Brazilians have the same affinity as Chinese, and I don't believe it, the longer you spend with Brazilians, the more you like this country, the people of this country.
