Expert Etiquette
Tipping • Restaurants
"Leave a 5% to 10% tip if the service was exceptional. Rounding up is the most common practice."
Driving • Parking
"Look for official "P" signs or underground garages. Use apps like Telpark."
Dining • Coffee Culture
"Ask for "um café" (espresso). If you want a drop of milk, ask for "um garoto" or "um pingado"."
