Indeed, in a bar or during a city holiday travelers will be treated like countrymen. Visitors will not only be treated with care like old friends, but will also be welcome to spend an evening in a cozy and friendly atmosphere. Despite openness and friendly approach, the natives are very delicate. They will never start a conversation with an unfamiliar person, talking about personal matters. Neither will they show excessive curiosity. The locals always have many other interesting and, most importantly, funny themes for conversation. The Brazilians enjoy smiling and their faces always express friendliness and kindness.
Many travelers explain this generous attitude to visitors by a very simple fact - the metropolitan region is home to people of different races. It is a mixture of ethnic groups, diverse cultures and customs of the local population that makes the locals friendly and tolerant to other cultures. Travelers can ask passers-by to help them at any time and be sure that the locals will certainly not refuse.
For example, they will surely help a lost tourist to find a way to hotel or a place of interest, even if it is not close. At the same time such welcoming assistant will not ask anything in return, but will not refuse an invitation to drink a cup of coffee at a nearby restaurant. Visitors should also be particularly attentive to the local population, and should certainly reciprocate all manifestations of courtesy.
