"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time."

"Go on, who knows what awaits you there, it's all opportunities in this place. Only of course some opportunities are too big to be taken advantage of, as it were; there are things that fail for no reason other than themselves. Oh yes, it's amazing."

Jesus walks
The most important religious and popular party on the calendar takes place on the second Thursday in January. Dressed in traditional white garb and strings of beads, Bahianas (of the uniquely Brazilian, slave-descendant religion Candomble) lead an 8-kilometer (5-mile) procession of similarly white-attired and perfumed devotees and partyers from Comércio to the (Catholic) Igreja do Bonfim for the washing (lavagem) of the church steps.

Southeast Asia: Loves and Hates
Loves
Free tea with almost every meal
Children yelling hello and giving high-fives in the street
Sandals and shorts are appropriate everywhere
The conspicuous absence of police
The variety of fruit
$3 hostel beds in every city
$1 meals
"Same same but different"
Unashamed plagiarism of everything: movies, music, books, brands, storefronts, designer clothes, jewelry, etc. A Vietnamese friend put it perfectly when another girl copied my jack-o-lantern design: "Vietnam very good at copy."
There's always a motorbike around when you need one
People will sleep anywhere, at any time
Cows are community lawnmowers
No coins! (except Thailand)
Monks doing normal people stuff - using cell phones, riding bikes, surfing the Internet. Always funny.
No tipping!
Hates
Being hungry after every meal
Blatant dishonesty of the tourism industry - "yes yes, no problem my friend."
Lonely Planet refusing to admit that some cities just plain suck. Beware of code words "charming" and "acquired taste," which translate to "stay away."
There's always a motorbike around when you don't need one
Hot girls are sometimes not girls. Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "hot or not."
Low regard for nature and preservation
Foreigners paying higher prices than locals
Service is terrible (see "no tipping")

The only thing worse than trying to poo in a toilet with no seat, is then turning around to realize there's no toilet paper.

If your first guess was Brazil, you spelled Brasil wrong.

Actual things Brazilians think
That God is Brazilian.
Fábio: Because we don't have wars. Nobody attacks us and we attack nobody.
Me: And the extreme poverty, hunger and violence?
Fábio: Yeahhhh, but the whole world has that.
Me: Hmmm moving on...
(I know you're reading this Fábio... no offense, I just find that hilarious! Besides, we all know God is an American.)
That a Brazilian invented flying.
That if a beer isn't ice cold, it's "hot." I'm pretty sure there isn't even a Portuguese word for 'warm.'
That I look like a celebrity. So far I've heard I look like an actor from one of their TV shows (no pic provided unfortunately), Toby Maguire, and James Blunt.
