I have experienced an aw...Hi Randall and everyone,<br /><br />I have experienced an awkward situation once because of the image people from different countries/cultures have of Brazilians. Brazilians are commonly known for being friendly and "tactile" people (always hugging and kissing others). This is not true whatsoever! :-) I myself do not like hugging people and/or kissing them all the time. A friend of mine (John) from the UK once came to Brazil and the first thing he did when he saw me was to hug and kiss me (on the cheek -of course!! :-)) . That's not at all usual here specially between two men! LOL<br /><br />What about you? Have you ever experienced any misunderstadings dealing with people from other cultures?<br />Best,<br />Bruno<br />BrazilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
