Good manners
There is a saying in English: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." What does it mean? Do you have a similar saying in your language?
In my opinion, it means when you are in someplace and you don't know your culture, you could do the same things the others are doing there. I don't remember any similar saying in the Portuguese language. The closest to that is to talk: "Seguindo a multidão". It's used when you sad someone are doing something of others or the crowd.

In my opinion, it means when you are in someplace and you don't know the culture, you do the same things others are doing there (OR "you behave the same way others around you are behaving").
I don't remember a similar saying in Portuguese. The closest saying would be: "Seguindo a multidão". It's used to describe when someone is following a crowd of people.

Correction: "The closest to that is to SAY: ..." AND " It's used when you say to someone that they are doing the same thing that others are doing."
In my opinion: "When in Rome, do as the Romans." It means if you want to do well in life and want to live with the least amount of problems, it is best to behave and to do as those you are surrounded by. If you do not take this advice, there is a high probability you will face resistance and possibly even be sabotaged or attacked by those around you. Good luck going against the Romans!
