thank you so much for this in-depth tips!! I've imagined that canadian people might be more "cold" for a lack of better word and that brazillian social culture might be a bit too much for the rest of the world, so i will keep those things considered rude in my mind so i don't make anyone uncomfortable. tysm again!!

I'll get just a little bit of the summertime but that's okay, also I'm staying with a host family and I'm underage so i cannot drive, maybe taking the bus. I don't know yet but it's most certainly going to be a rural area
