What is daily life like in Brazil?

Depends on what part of Brazil we are talking about due its huge size and the diversity of the first settlers. Africans (Rio and Bahia states), Portuguese (the country as a whole, of course), Germans (in Southern states), Dutch (in North-eastern states) , Italians, Japanese and believe it or not, even Americans (in São Paulo state there is a considerable big town named Americana).

The average Brazilian wakes up at 6 AM and works from 9 AM to 6 PM. He has always lunch at 1 PM (it's always rice and beans - EVERYDAY - mixed with something else like beef, chicken, pork and vegetables) and dinner at 8 PM watching the main evening news programs and then he watches "novelas" - Soap Operas, going to bed usually at 11 PM. On weekends the "churrasco" - barbecue - is almost sacred where friends meet to drink beer, listening to music or watching a soccer game (this is usually on Sundays and on Saturdays he dedicates his day to take care of his house and cars and principally go shopping during the day and party at night).
