So you moved to Brazil, the land of samba, tiny bikinis and so on... Once in Brazil, social behavior, family relations, general attitude towards sex, the food, the overwhelming red tape, the human diversity etc., all of them seem so strange, different and new that you don't know if your hardly developed common sense still applies.
Well, there may be some striking differences between your home country and your new home...
But, be sure: if your common sense says some situation is wrong, strange or very unusual, probably it is! 90% of the time, the same standards apply to Brazil, the US and Europe. At least, if you stay in the more developed and cosmopolitan centers...
