We didn't run into any unexpected taboos. I have heard that you don't wear thongs on the beach. I'm too chubby for one anyway so I wouldn't try it. They have Brazilian cut suits with tiny triangular patches over their nipples. Young, old, fat, thin, they were all wearing a variation of that bikini. I wore my more modest bikini.
I do recommend that you ask your hotel about taxi safety. We were told by some acquaintances who live in Rio not to take a taxi unless it was arranged by our hotel. The taxi takes you out for a flat fee and waits for you while you have your evening out. A bit strange for us Americans. However, they don't seem to mind and all the nightclubs and restaurants have places for the taxis to wait. While we randomly found taxis in Salvador and Recife we were ignorant of whether or not that was safe. Again, our taxi guys waited for us while we had lunch, went to the beach, etc. and then took us back for a flat fee. In Ilheus, the taxi guy went away but asked the restaurant owner to call him when we were ready to go back.
Also, we knew almost no Portugese but we tried to pick it up. The Brazilians LOVED to talk to us. We had a fun conversation with a guy in Rio for about 2 hours. He knew no English. However, we were all patient, looked things up, and had a great time. Try it.
Oh, and you might want to brush up on your world soccer knowledge. They are soccer mad. |

Not really, they pretty much have the same social rules as the rest of the western world. Just dont talk no trash bout Jesus, they love him down there. Also, try not to talk politics if you can help it. |

No social taboos. The rules to visit Brasil would be the same rules to go anywhere else in North america or europe.
Brazilians dont wear thongs on the beach and we dont do topless either. If you wanna do it there is speacial beaches for that. Buy your swim suit there.
Don't act like a turist , don't wear those hawaiian stlye shirts like with coconuts trees , flowers and stuff like that . |
