A list of questions and queries to avoid:
- Where is the Starbucks? Actually there are well over 100 Starbucks in Brazil, but given where we are at the moment, you are most likely to be given a strange look and pointed in the direction of the nearest coffee plant to harvest your own.
- I don't speak Spanish, do you speak English? Well, the official language in Brazil is Portuguese, so where to begin on this one. Though both Spanish and Portuguese know and understand the word "Gringo," they may well point their finger in the opposite direction and keep it to "Gringo Adeus"
- Since you love football so much, why do I never see a place to buy shoulder pads and helmets? Don't even go there....
- What is the closest thing you have to a Budweiser? Guaranteed to result in a pointed finger in the direction of the nearest pool of rancid looking jungle water.
- Why do you keep sending me out in the direction of the Jaguars, Cougars and Unfriendly Native Tribes? If you have already violated any/all of the above, you already know the answer to this question...
