Coffee thoughts

Updated: Sep 1, 2019

- From the heart we all speak the same language

- People live of out LOVE




Notes about the locals:

* 10 brazilian minutes means that 25 minutes later the first ones will arrive

* Everywhere late, but for football everyone is already in the stadium 2 hours before the game starts


* The whole family fits on one motorbike

* Main sort of transportation is the bus

* People shouting and selling things in the bus

* Air conditioner in the Uber is like sitting in a refrigerator

* Crosswalks are really not a thing


* Flip flops everywhere (even indoors)

* No air conditioning in the houses, only fans in every room

* Doors and windows are not really a thing

* Big, fancy apartment blocks with guards, pools, basketball courts, parking lots and 24/7 surveillance --->> and then there is how 90% of the people live


* Coffee always with a LOT of sugar

* Ice cream is not a thing, it's all about açaí

* Rice, beans and meat all day every day!

*misuse of labor- one person is working and the other three are just standing and watching


* coisa- a translatable word that everyone uses all the time
