This is team awesome amazing Americas signing in for yet another blog update. During our short time here, we have discovered the flavor of the Brazilian culture. It is a little different from what we are used to, but we are adapting brilliantly. Our contacts are teaching us Portuguese phrases, making us tons of wonderful Brazilian food and making sure we know how to act in public. Luckily we have had no faux pas!
Here are some of the things that we have learned about the Brazilian culture.
1. They eat 5 meals a day
2. They consider it extremely rude to slam car doors
3. They eat everything with a knife and fork…and we mean everything
4. They do not put toilet paper in the toilet; they put it in trash cans
5. The okay sign in English is the equivalent of the finger in Brazilian
Here are the teams favorite things about the Brazil portion of our trip so far.
“I like pilfering small items from the other team members. I have always wanted to do that, and now I finally have the chance. I sometimes wear or use the things I use in front of the people I pilfered from to see if they realize that I have it. I also like how loving people are down here.”
Bekah Brown
“I love the weather, the lack of bugs and how they drive.”
Tim Wilson
“I enjoy the hospitality and I am excited about the Christian culture because it is different then the states.”
Tripp Hipple
“I like pilfering back the items that were stolen by Bekah Brown, meeting the friendly people and eating 5 times a day.”

That’s all for now!
