Reflections from Brazil - Week 3

• Daylight savings sounds like a super sale to the folks here. It gets dark at 5pm year round.
  
• If the trail guide tells you to freeze, you best be freezin. Not all Brazilian snakes play nice with Michiganders.
  
• Motorcycle taxis will hall everything but a kitchen sink around town.
  
• In Brazil making out in public and in front of your parents is normal. Taking pictures of the act while making out apparently is normal too. Hey Son, can you pass the salt when you're done sucking face? Now that's a family dinner.
  
• Motels are sold by the hour here.
  
• Stop sings are just a suggestion. Driving on the center line is normal.
  
• Baking in C vs. F makes a big difference! I hope you like your casserole blackened.
  
• Children don't move away from home until they are married. My parents would have set up some arranged marriage for me at this point!!
