Brazilians usually greet each other with a handshake. Brazilian handshakes, however, may be somewhat less firm than Australian handshakes. Women customarily kiss each other on both cheeks (they actually just touch cheeks and "kiss the air"), and good friends often embrace. When leaving a small group, it is customary to shake hands with all who are present. The traditional American OK sign , with thumb and index finger forming a circle, is an obscene gesture . The "thumbs-up" sign is used to show approval. Brazilians beckon each other with the palm of the hand facing down. To get someone's attention from a distance, Brazilians say "pssssst." They never whistle at people. In Brazil meals are social events. Brazilians eat in the continental style, with the knife in the right hand and the fork in the left. Both hands should remain above the table at all times and the elbows should not be rested on the table. In Brazil warm-weather European fashions are the most popular, but because of the hot and humid climate, Many Brazilians (especially women) are fashion-conscious, and wear the latest styles.
