Brazilian customs and habits

The customs of Brazil are similar to those of Europe. Brazilians are sometimes more formal and sometimes very easygoing. When they meet for the first time, people shake hands as gifts, but relatives and friends greet each other and are used to hugging and kissing cheeks. Not only that, even strangers can hug and kiss their cheeks. The "social" etiquette is to kiss both sides on the cheek. Men and women kiss and greet each other, and women are used to it. However, in most social circles, blacks are not interested in this, but are used to shaking hands and patting each other on the shoulder with their left hand. Close men are used to hugging each other and patting each other on the back. However, due to social status, there are subtle differences between who should kiss who.

Westerners don't care about showing their feelings in public. They are generous and hospitable. When they are guests at home, there will always be wine in the cup, and the plates and coffee cups will never be empty.
