3. Be Flashy with Your Money
Although Brazil is a relatively safe country, there are still many poor areas, even in the tourist towns. So we advise you not to be overly flashy with your money or valuables. Don’t wear your most expensive watch or wave around your new camera, because it will be pocketed. Just take common sense precautions when walking around busy areas with your belongings.
4. Drink Alone
It is customary practice in Brazil to share your beer with others and sometimes even strangers will show up with their own glasses. This is because Brazilians enjoy drinking beer “estupidamente gelada” (stupidly cold) and most bars only sell only sell beer in 700 ml bottles. So, if you order a beer in a Brazilian bar be prepared to share, as drinking it alone will seem both selfish and odd to the locals.
