First, aside from business meetings, time is very flexible. Being a half-hour late for a meeting is perfectly acceptable. Cariocas are also extremely friendly. Do not be surprised to find you have a new best friend after a few minutes of conversation at the bar. However, if a Carioca says “I will meet you tomorrow at the beach” do not be surprised if he or she does not show up. Cariocas are very physical. Men and women will greet each other with kisses on the cheeks and there is a lot of hugging and friendly back slaps.

Curiosity

Did you know that Walt Disney was inspired by Cariocas to create one of this characters? José Carioca, aka, Zé Carioca was created in 1943 to star the movie 'Saludos Amigos' as a Brazilian parrot (based off of one spotted by Walt Disney during his trip to Brazil) friends of Donald Duck. Making use of the 'Good Neighbor Policy' during the events of World War II, Zé Carioca was created representing the Brazilian people nature: friendly, always in on a good mood and happiness from the Cariocas. Since after the end of Second World War until 1949 the American movies could not be shown in the occupied Europe, including Disney cartoons, Walt Disney needed to find a new market to compensate this, therefore he focused on the South American market and used Zé Carioca to help its promotion.
