one of the most fun and interesting to do in rio de janeiro is interacting with the locals.

called 'cariocas', rio de janeiro inhabitants are an infinite source of wisdom, humor, and information - not to mention great people to befriend in general.

cariocas are great communicators, it is easy to interpret their emotion just by looking at the body language, hearing tones of voice, or observing gestures, however, it does take more than this to maintain a proper conversation - in fact, we devoted an entire section of our work to carioca culture.
