Hi,

I'm going on Rotary Exchange to Brazil in 2011 for a year and would love to know what I am to expect while I'm over there. Any information would be great as I'm a little nervous about leaving. The do's and don'ts, traditions, the type of foods I will most likely to encounter and what you are expected to wear over there would be a great start for me.

Looking forward to your responses,
Emjgray

Hi,
They haven't given the places I'm going to yet. But i'll most probably be going to a variety of places.
I know that there are different rules etc. for different places but I really just want a general idea.

Thanks,
emjgray

Check out this site by and for ex-pats in São Paulo. There is a lot of good information there.
