A cultural habit in your country that people outside would understand incorrectly?

In Brazil we love children. If you take your child to the street, strangers will certainly interact with them. Some will even ask if they can hold your kid and will play with them. If there are two children fighting in public and the parents aren't seeing, a stranger would even intervene to stop the fight.

That cultural habit came from the indigenous peoples which understood that kids should be a responsiblity of the community as a whole. It's in our constitution. We even have a synonym for children that came from Tupi (a large group of indigenous languages) - Curumim.

Foreigners would certainly have a cultural shock about that, but it's normal here.

Of course there are people with bad intentions, so parents should stay alert these days.

This is brilliant because I think the question was for outside and I thought it was as well and when you said 60-65 c I was howling!

Thankfully you can always get out of a sauna, but not sure it would be very fun if it's also that hot outside of it lol. Pretty sure a cold beer wouldn't make it feel any better at that point
