Brazil is a country that is often associated with football, Carnaval, and fine coffee, but it is much more than just beaches and bossa nova. With its diverse lifestyles, ethnic groups, landscapes, and climate, Brazil is a place where creativity thrives. Jeitinho, which translates to "a little way," is a way of dealing creatively with life's everyday complications. It is so ingrained in daily life that examples can be seen everywhere, such as managing to get a seat when all the places are booked up, traveling with more luggage than is allowed, or successfully ordering something that isn't even on the menu. Culture Smart! Brazil is your guide to understanding the Brazilian people, their values, and the complexities of their national identity. By familiarizing yourself with their traditions, culture, and way of life, you can enhance your experience of this beautiful life-affirming country.
