Sending Cards in Brazil
Today is our 38th wedding anniversary and finding a card to mark this occasion was not easy. This is not the first time I have tried to find an appropriate card to send for an occasion.
Just after we arrived here a Brazilian friend died. This was very sad and we really wanted to send a card to the family. We eventually found something that was mildly appropriate, but it was not easy and even then we were not sure how it would be received.
According to a friend here, sending cards in this way is not a tradition. I also haven't yet managed to find a way to send flowers. I can understand this more as in the heat of the summer it would probably make it extremely difficult. Maybe sending cards is not done because of the difficulties with the post.
