Rob me if you can: THIS store lets customers steal; know why
No, we're not just talking about the Siberian cold!
Russia, for historical and political reasons, has a more reserved stance towards many foreigners, and Brazilians are no exception.
But don't worry: with a smile on your face and respect for local traditions, you can easily break the ice!
Japan is known for its ancient culture and strict traditions. While the Japanese are extremely polite, they are also reserved. Therefore, extroverted Brazilians may find the more restrained posture a little strange.
Saudi Arabia is a country full of riches and traditions. However, the local culture is very different from the Brazilian one, especially when it comes to social norms.
There, the reception can seem cold, especially if you are not aware of all the rules and end up breaking some upon arrival.
This country is shrouded in mystery and, without a doubt, has one of the most closed attitudes in the world towards visitors. Brazilians, like most tourists, should be prepared for a unique and regulated experience when they get there.
Iran has a rich cultural tapestry. However, political tensions can make Brazilians not feel so comfortable in the land of the ancient Persians. The tip is to research well before visiting and have an open mind to understand the nuances of Iranian culture.
Little mentioned in travel guides, Turkmenistan is a country that may seem a little distant to Brazilians. It's not so much about a cold reception, but about the lack of familiarity and the differences cultural deep.
Known for its neutral stance on global affairs, Switzerland is also famous for its inhabitants being a little more reserved. They are friendly, but don't expect Brazilian tropical effusiveness if you travel there someday!
Traveling means opening yourself up to the new, even if the new comes with a bit of initial coldness. And the beauty of that? It's being able to transform any situation and build bridges with people around the world.
Who knows, perhaps, at the end of your trip, these destinations that seemed so far away will become special and full of good memories?
