1. Cheese
Cheese balls, bread and cheese, cheese quiches, cheese sandwiches, cheese croissants… EVERYTHING has cheese
2. Telenovelas (soap operas)
Life stops for many people in the evening when the whole family gathers around the TV or at the local barzinho (little bar) to watch novelas. They are just as ridiculously cheesy with questionable acting as soap operas in the US. The difference? Here, fans are not limited to old widows over the age of 65. Even young men love the hot women and drama. Think One Tree Hill/Days of Our Lives.
3. Futébol. Duh. Do I even need to explain?
4. Energy Conservation
All appliances are unplugged when not in use. When you leave a room for one minute, you turn off the lights, fans, etc. There are no unnecessary appliances.
5. Juice Bars
There are juice bars on literally every corner. I’m talking fresh squeezed juice made from your choice of over 20+ kinds of fruits/vegetables
