Ok well lucky for Sarah, we are having some SERIOUS network issues here at work today and I really can't get anything accomplished. So I figured I'd write something out for the blog to help pass the time. I was sitting here at my desk and thinking what should I write about, and since people always prefer drama over happy things, I decided to write about the worst thing there is at WDW - Brazilians.
Now I'm not one to judge (kidding). And I understand cultural differences and all that other good PC related bologna. But seriously, they are a menace. Where to begin...
* Chanting - If you can't locate your Brazilian tour group, just listen for the random shouting and chanting in Portuguese. Usually it will occur during a quiet moment of a fireworks show or an immersive scene in an attraction that you have been waiting the whole year to see again. When in doubt, listen for the shout.
* Brazilian Flags - This little fashion statement hasn't quite caught on here in the U.S. But if you can't find your closest Brazilian, just look for the kid with the blazing green and yellow flag hanging off his back. Next time you want to look like a queer-eye super hero, grab you one of these little numbers and hit the black top of Main Street USA.
* Apparent Disregard for Common Courtesy - "Hey, let's find us a nice spot to watch the parade/fireworks/show. Oh there's a big empty spot right there!" Get's you every time doesn't it? Silly you, that huge open spot is being held down by a Brazilian. He needs all that space for his 25 friends that are going to show up 15 minutes after the show starts. It's your fault, you should've known they were coming... didn't you hear the chanting?
* Pop that Personal Space Bubble - Lastly, if you can't find your nearest Brazilian in WDW, simply turn around and find the one leaning against you in line or sitting on your foot. And don't worry if you get so annoyed by them that you literally push them off you, they won't mind. Apparently, random acts of violence due to someone practically wearing your clothes for you are normal in Brazil. However, don't you dare ask one to not sit on your foot! They'll give you the stink eye and mutter things about rude Americans in Portuguese.
Luckily for us, these little snow birds only seem to flock to WDW during the winter months. They are dangerous and should only be approached with the upmost caution, and a Portuguese translator.
Ok seriously, the Brazilians sitting on you for the fireworks show was something I was there to witness. It's for real. And really rude. And really funny to watch Tour Guide Joey throw Brazilian #65487984 off of him with nothing more than a quizzical look in response. bhahahaha
