As you may expect, dating is a little bit different in China than it is in most Western countries. The basics are the same—people are people everywhere—but there are still a few differences regarding culture and social cues to note. They simply have too much work to do. But in general, Chinese students leave high school with a lot less romantic experience than their American counterparts. More so than Westerners, many Chinese view dating as a pragmatic affair. In general, sex before marriage in China is less common and considered more serious than it is in many Western cultures.

Brazil Traditional Customs
The culture of Brazil is primarily Western and is derived from Portuguese culture , [1] but presents a very diverse nature showing that an ethnic and cultural mixing occurred in the colonial period involving mostly Indigenous people of the coastal and most accessible riverine areas, Portuguese people and African people. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, together with further waves of Portuguese colonization, Italians , Spaniards , Germans , Austrians, Levantine Arabs Syrians and Lebanese , Armenians , Japanese , Chinese , Koreans , Greeks , Poles , Helvetians , Ukrainians and Russians settled in Brazil , playing an important role in its culture as it started to shape a multicultural and multiethnic society. As consequence of three centuries of colonization by the Portuguese empire , the core of Brazilian culture is derived from the culture of Portugal. The numerous Portuguese inheritances include the language , cuisine items such as rice and beans and feijoada , the predominant religion and the colonial architectural styles. This diverse cultural background has helped show off many celebrations and festivals that have become known around the world, such as the Brazilian Carnival and the Bumba Meu Boi. The colourful culture creates an environment that makes Brazil a popular destination for many tourists each year, around over 1 million. Brazil was a colony of Portugal for over three centuries.


Culture of Brazil
Brazilians are friendly and free-spirited, with an incredible zest for life. They are very risk-oriented and very creative. Family, educational and socioeconomic backgrounds are important to Brazilians. As women increasingly join the workforce, machismo has become less common. Younger, better-educated women have values that correspond closely to those of North American women.



Brazilian women along with maybe Russian women are some of the most popular women on the planet. Virtually everyone on this planet has heard of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, and the yearly carnival that happens there. I spent a total of seven years living all over Latin America. Brazil was the country where I spent the longest by far: three years.
