What kinds of Things you don't need to take too seriously in Brazil
Since I've moved here I have met a lot of new people and now I can better understand better the Brazilian way to of dealing with friends and people (whom - not really wrong, but not really needed) they like.
Brazilians are really open, friendly and helpful people but not compromised at all.
Maybe you've already heard about their punctuality. They never come arrive at the scheduled time and it doesn't matter if we talking about a job interview, friends appointment, party, etc.
If you want to invite any Brazilian for a dinner and are planning to start it at 6, so ask a person to come at 5.
This one is a famous cultural peculiarity but there is another one which used to make me really upset during the my first year here.
People here really like very much to invite you for to any activity, for example, "Let's go to the cinema this weekend", or "Let's make a barbecue next week at my place", "Let's to go the shopping together tomorrow" and so on, but the truth is that it means nothing. It's just a kind way to show you that they like you and want to see you again someday. It doesn't flash through enter their minds that you can might take it seriously.
At first, I couldn't understand it. If someone invited me to go some place at the weekend I would be waiting for it to happen. It took me a long time to get used to accept it, but now I can totally deal with it and now I don't believe anymore in this kind of invitation except unless the person has confirmed the appointment twice.
