If you are going to visit Natal, you should not forget that jeitinho brasileiro is typical for local residents. It is translated as "the Brazilian manner of behavior." And the citizens say "manner" somewhat pejoratively in this case. It is difficult to understand jeitinho brasileiro for tourists, even if they communicate with Brazilians for a long time. This behavior is understood only by real Brazilians. But the behavior of the citizens surprises the tourists. For example, everyone lives under the unspoken rule " Why do I need to do something today that can be postponed until tomorrow?» here. It is worth noting that this rule does not apply to small not particularly important everyday matters. Procrastination reaches such scales that even the TV programs never start on time here. It is also worth noting the failure of all work deadlines by both individuals and officials. Trains and buses don't arrive on time. The doctor in the clinic or the cashier in the store will not come exactly at the beginning of working hours. Everyone is always late everywhere. However, no one considers this a big drawback. Postponing an important task for a long time so that everything will be resolved and human doesn't have to do anything else is the Ideal model of behavior for a Brazilian.

If a local resident invites you to visit, then be ready for the fact that there is no wallpaper and carpets in his house. This is not a sign of poverty. Just such an interior design is accepted here. But even those persons who earn little have their own housekeeper in Natal. Also, do not be surprised to find two or even three bathrooms in the home of a Brazilian. Citizens do not understand how Europeans and Americans can live comfortably in a house with one toilet.

National traditions of Brazil
Unfortunately, despite all the positive traits, discrimination based on skin color is still a frequent phenomenon. Lower classes usually consist of cleaners, drivers, and other similar servicemen who may be treated with disrespect by representatives of middle and upper classes. Women are often subjected to discrimination on the basis of gender and appearance, despite the prohibition of these kinds of discrimination in the 1988 Constitution. Women living in urban areas have open access to opportunities in education and careers. However, the patriarchal way of life is gradually changing. But in poorer areas, women still have limited access to education and career opportunities, working mainly in low-paid spheres with low qualifications. Afro-Brazilian women are particularly marginalized, many of them work as housemaids or prostitutes. In Brazil, education between the ages of 6 and 14 is compulsory. However, children outside the urban areas sometimes do not have access to further education.
