You know you're Brazilian when....

You spell it Brasil and not Brazil.
You can meet somebody and in the same day become their best friend.
You take 2 or 3 showers per day (yes, we are actually clean).
You cannot anywhere without putting some deodorant and perfume on.
You think rice, beans, beef, and french fries is the best combination EVER. And it is!
You love watching Novelas (you could watch every day if you could).
You don't relate to the American coffee with lots of sugar and added stuff. You still desire that strong sip of coffee.
You call your friend's mom and dad as aunt or uncle (tia or tio).
You are always late for your appointments, but really, who cares about the time that much?
You give two or three kisses on the cheek when you first meet somebody, or when you are saying goodbye.
You brag about how Brazil is amazing and how we are great in soccer.
You are beautiful. We all are! (inside and out).
You have a big booty ( it's fact, most Brazilians - I mean 90% percent- have a big booty).
You go to the gym at least a couple times per week, and not going drives you crazy.
You love strangers, and get along with people very easy. 
You do not judge people by their ethnicity, age, gender, etc. We are all equal.
You love Carnival and the World Cup! 
You love PASSION FRUIT and everything made with it (cake, pie, juice etc).
You can wear your flip flops everywhere (and have a million pairs at home).
You cannot accept any other kind of steaks, besides Brazilian steaks.
You are happy with life, and try to take it easy, because after all, you are BRAZILIAN!

  1. Two to three showers! I hope you have water recyclers there. Just kidding. A lot of young people now-a-days hardly take showers but two to three a week. I myself take at least once a day sometimes two to three depending on activities and where I am going.

    Loving strangers I am not so sure about this one although I like meeting new people.
