Student-Teacher Love Making In Brazil

In the United States students tend to keep relationships with their professors strictly professional (although, as we know, sometimes things get out of hand). However, Brazil has once again afforded me the opportunity to experience things in a new light. Once the workday is over my professors

Portuguese or/ou Português

Like magic eye pictures, languages can prove difficult. Even after years of practice, nonnative speakers can give themselves away with the slightest of errors. Since every day I am reminded that I cannot communicate as well as I would like to in this exotic wonderland known as Brazil via this

Making Change In Brazil

Like HALLS and the thumbs-up, there are other things that make life here in Brazil just a little different from back in the America of North and its respective states (and I'm not just talking about the threat of monkeys). What is it now? It's pennies. I will demonstrate with the following

How To Execute the Thumbs-Up in Brazil

Some things here in Brazil, once strange and unfamiliar customs that confused me in uncomfortable ways, have somehow become second nature to me (and I'm not just talking about eating HALLS). Let us take a closer look at the hand gesture known commonly as the "thumbs-up", beginning with its

How To Be On-time In Brazil

Being late can make you look fashionable. Being late can make you look rude. Being late can make you pregnant. And in Brazil, being late can make you one of the locals. So you are invited to a party (I know, it's your lucky day), and the host tells you that their Super Saturday Football Best

How To Order Coconut Water In Brazil

Most guidebooks will tell you to grab a coconut water on the beach during a trip to Brazil, and you would be wise to listen to them in this respect. They (the coconuts, that is) are delicious, refreshing and awesome for curing a hangover. However, the ordering of an agua de coco must not be

Guaraná: The Delicious Drink You Must Try In Brazil

Okay. Problem. You are thirsty. What do you do? Grab water from the tap? You can't do that, you are in Brazil. Grab a Mountain Dew? You can't do that, you are in Brazil. Grab a cold refreshing glass of milk? You can't do that, you are in Brazil. Grab some Guaraná? Some what? That

Kids in the HALLS

You have a cough. Shouldn't have gotten sick in the first place, but now you have to do something to remedy this. What do you do? Nothing? Go to a doctor? Take some cough drops? Oh, cough drops you say? You mean like Halls? Because Halls are cough drops right? According to their website: HALLS
