Like any country in the world, everyone in a certain nation will have several distinct attitudes and beliefs and Brazil is no exception.
Privacy
Unlike Singaporeans, Brazilians live in large families and living quarters are often small. Hence, they are not demanding in terms of privacy as bedrooms are commonly shared and visitors often make themselves at home.
Nudity
In Brazil, nudity is not a taboo topic unlike many Asian countries. Most Brazilian men welcome female nudity but they are believed to have high moral expectations of their own wives and girlfriends. The laws on nudity in the country are often not imposed strictly as well.
Time perception
Brazilians have very flexible concepts about time. They are often late for events and meetings. In fact, it is common to arrive one hour late at a social event.
“In Brazil it may safely be assumed that things will always be a little behind time.”
- Louis Agassiz and Elizabeth Cabot Cary Agassiz
