27/7/12

Fortaleza today! It was a free day, so a group of us went to go see the new Batman movie at the shopping mall. It's amazing how similar malls here are to ones in the United States. I guess it goes along with the idea of globalization and the emergence of a worldwide culture. What is a little different is that in Brazil, people dress up to go to the mall. They have their hair done and wear nice outfits and you will never, ever see anyone in Crocs. I wish that things in the United States weren't so casual all the time, that people would get dressed up more to go out. Well, the girls in our group tried to fit in with the Brazilians for our visit to the mall and dress up accordingly.
