The secret of Christ the redeemer
The original of the famous statue that presides over Rio de Janeiro on Corcovado mountain dates back to the fifteenth century, where the look out was named pinnacle of temtation, in relation to the biblical passage in which Satan callenged Christ to jump from the top of a mountain.
Greetings.
One caveat: paulistanos (those of São Paulo) only greet on the right cheek.
Cariocas (those of Rio de Janeiro) salute with two kisses (beijos), one on each cheek.
If you do not know how many kisses perform, pause after the first.
The other person will then initiate or not the second.
Handshakes are rare, they are used mainly in cases of extreme formality.
Gifts.
If you are invited to a Brazilian house, follows the Brazilian label.
It is traditional to take flowers or a small gift to the hostess. Orchids are considered a very nice gift, but be sure to avoid the purples flowers. In fact, avoid giving anything to the hostess purple or black; these are colors of mourning.
- Nor des handkerchiefs; They are associated with funerals and are not good gifts
- By the way, gifts are opened when received, right in front of you.
Typical dishes from Brazil.
The feijoada (black beans and pork stew) and the churrasco (barbecue where you can eat all you can) are basic. In the state of Minas Gerais, try dozens of types of cheese with twelve from leite (caramel) and homemade jams.
