It happened to someone I know and another source confirmed it is a new trend. Sigh.

I was reminded of this last week when coming back from the shopping center with two somewhat large bags. I was getting my footing in the aisle with one hand holding the bags and one hand overhead holding on tight. Like a fairy godmother the woman seated next to me offered to hold my bags for me. *smile* It made the 20 minute ride infinitely more comfortable.

I always feel awckward when defining what makes us Brazilian - it is never fair to the zillion Brazilians that don´t fit the stereotype. But, still, I think we can´t deny the prevalence of these characteristics. Thanks!

Thanks! Funny that I was just talking with students about the kissing protocol in social gatherings and the punctuality factor. I was saying exactly the same thing :) Valeu! This is a great post.
