what would you say is the difference between what you experience in American culture compared to what is going on in brazil?
My experience was that Rio was a lot more westernized than Salvador, even though Salvador gets a lot of tourists the goal seems to be to keep the culture as close to what it was as possible. Where as Rio is more of a world city, so while they still have their culture they try to accommodate tourists more. Bahians (Salvador is in the state of Bahia) get labeled lazy by people from Rio, cause they bout that relaxation life. The atmosphere of the city is like no other I have ever been to, I posted this in another thread -
The culture is through the roof there.
