Burping is impolite in Brazil

Please do not burp when you are with Brazilians. It is very impolite!

Please do not burp when you are eating with a Brazilian family, Brazilian friends or if you are in a Brazilian business lunch or dinner. It is very impolite too!

It is not that Brazilians do not burp at all. We try not to do it. However, when it is impossible to keep it "inside us" after, for example, drinking a soda, a polite Brazilian will hold back the burp and release the air slowly, without any noise.
