Flaunt your wealth you may not know that Brazil has one of the highest crime rates in the world therefore showing off personal assets and showing off wealth is considered one of the taboos in Brazil that you should absolutely avoid when going out keep all valuable jewelry
Such as rings and necklaces at home with a phone or camera you should keep it in your pocket and keep it carefully to prevent bad guys in some areas in Brazil tourists don’t even dare to take out their phones to make contact there are a lot of crimes here especially robberies
Therefore it is important to always be careful and avoid showing off valuables in public places especially in areas with low security levels always Focus focus on your own safety don’t attract unnecessary attention by showing off your possessions or valuables when you visit public places in Brazil number eight to not enter the
Slums this is the most important rule to keep you safe when coming to this country because the slums here are controlled by illegal criminal gangs the fact that a stranger suddenly wandered into their territory seemed like a big threat and you will most likely encounter Danger on on YouTube today
There are still many videos with titles like images that cannot be shown on TV and most of those images come from Brazil accurately portraying the face of this multiethnic country countless videos of Hostage kidnappings end in bloody images where the only solution is for the police to find an opportunity to
Shoot a sniper at the perpetrator’s death Spock the center of the forehead M the police cannot always shoot so accurately and if there is a mistake the hostage is the one who suffers the worst consequences but in Brazil that solution is extremely normal and the Brazilian police force is always complained of
Being terribly incompetent and corrupt stopping cars with guns and shooting victims in broad daylight cor up them is also a common occurrence in Brazil as if people had to brush their teeth when they wake up at the same time Brazilian police are just as dangerous as that country’s criminals when they are ready
To stop a normal person in the middle of the night take off their shoes take a baon and whip them several times cles on the soles of their feet and then then harass him for some money before letting the subject go in panic they cling to very simple excuses to ensure security
We must control all night walkers in case they are criminals in the slums the mysterious Amazon forest the Amazon is the world’s largest tropical forest with an area of 6, 700,000 km2 of which 60% is located in Brazil it seems like you need to take a few few survival
Courses before coming to this South American country because if you accidentally get lost in the Amazon forest only those skills can save your life because even if you armed to the teeth it is difficult to guarantee your life when in the Amazon rainforest alone the first problem you have to face is
Not food or water but the natives here there are many mysterious and dangerous tribes living in the forest they are not friendly any foreigners who trespass into the area they live in will become prey even though their weapons were rudimentary their knowledge of the terrain also made those carrying guns
And bullets terrified and killed in addition to humans legendary creatures of this Forest will also easily take your life mosquitoes ants giant spiders Jaguars anacondas and panhas will always put you in danger in the Amazon rainforest there is also a giant spider whose leg span alone is up to 24 cm long
Enough to fit on your face with this size it can attack even a bird although it only likes to eat insects and does not eat human flesh you should not touch it because it is poisonous many people are afraid of anent Pyon has in the Amazon rainforest in reality they do not
Actively attack like in the movies but when you are healthy a bleeding scratch can stimulate the Killer Instinct of these creatures this immediately the real Horrors are still large animals such as Jaguars it resembles a large cat second only in size to lions and tigers its bite force and speed will kill you
In an instant although there are not many Jaguars in the Amazon rainforest once you encounter one your life can only depend on God’s will you need to know that this is the only cat species that specializes in hunting crocodiles as for anacondas I probably don’t need to remind you much about how dangerous
They are the best advice is not to go to Amazon if you are not a researcher stay in the cities and have fun with the people there it will be better for you number six land of only women single guys take out a pen and paper and write

Friend in the middle of the street locals do not expectations also do not appreciate punctuality in communication party plans are often affected by the above situation so the party host considers it a polite attitude to hold the party later than the party opening time that has become an unwritten law in
Brazil most clearly shown in the city of Rio De Janeiro however the Brazilians also draw a line arriving late they will try to arrive on time when going to meetings and business meetings because it is not part of social events festivals or meeting friends where they
