BEACH !!!: Leave the big bastard bikinis at home
  • Tip Rating:
  • Don't wear those granny pants at the beach. Wear a brazilian or thong bikini bottom. Keep your top on, they don't go topless here.

    Don't worry if you do not have the bod to strut a skimpy bottom. Grandmas wear these tiny things too.

    Remember... people got no shame.

    Local Customs: Typical Appetizer Food
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • A lot of restaurants serve this kind of appetizer. I am not sure if all restaurants charge for this, but the ones we went to did. It is like a cover charge of $5 reals and they give you this treat before a meal.

    BTW: Make sure what you think is cheese is not butter before you shove a hunk of butter into your mouth

    Local Customs: Can collectors
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • While on the beach if you are drinking a beer or soda, a lady or man with a plastic bag will come around and ask if they can take it. If you do not speak Portuguese this might be confusing at first.
