About AIESECAIESEC is the worlds largest non-profit, student-run, international
exchange organisation. Founded by European universities at the end of
World War II, AIESEC was conceived to provide young people with an
opportunity to gain a global perspective and understanding through a
foreign management training experience. These management traineeships
are provided by many of the world's leading companies and organizations
that recognize the importance of investing in today's youth.
AIESEC is assisting you in facilitating an exchange experience that will
impact the rest of your life. Why are you doing this?
AIESEC believes that our most powerful tool is the exchange process. The
exchange process is not just the physical exchange, but also the
preparation beforehand and the reintegration that lasts for the rest of
your life as your experiences abroad influence your thoughts and
perceptions. AIESEC has an International Traineeship Exchange Program
run by its members. This program consists of 3 main goals:
Preparation in the country of origin;
Integration in the hosting country through community
involvement and participation in local reception activities, and;
Reintegration while coming back in the country of origin.
The Integration part starts before the arrival of the trainee by getting in
touch with him and setting right expectations and goals. Then AIESEC
members will pick up the trainee at its arrival, show him/her around the
basic places of the hosting city and introduce him/her in the company on
the first day. All along its stay the trainee will have evaluation with the
company and with AIESEC, to check its satisfaction and improve our
services if necessary.

SalvadorSalvador(in full, So Salvador da Baa de Todos os Santos, or in literal
translation: "Holy Savior of All Saints' Bay") is a city on the northeast
coast of Brazil and the capital of the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia.
The city was for a long time also known as Bahia, and appears under that
name (or as Salvador da Bahia, Salvador of Bahia so as to differentiate it
from other Brazilian cities of the same name) on many maps and books from

before the mid 20th century. Salvador is the third most populous Brazilian
city, after So Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and it is the most populous city in
Northeastern Brazil, being a cultural reference in Brazil for its cuisine,
music and architecture.
Its metropolitan area is the wealthiest in the northeastern region. At this
moment, 2,998,096 people live there. 80% of the population of Salvador is
of Black African origin, and African influence in all cultural aspects of the
city turns it into the epicenter of black culture in Brazil. The historical
center of the Salvador, frequently called thePelourinho
, is extremely richin historical monuments dating from the 17th through the 19th centuries
and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985.
Bahia's capital is Salvador sits on a spit of land sticking south south-west
into the Atlantic Ocean. And although it sits well within the tropics at a
southern latitude of thirteen degrees, it receives a refreshing sea-breeze
which seldom falters until the wee hours of the morning when things have
generally cooled off anyway. The city sits on a huge bay, a Baia de Todos os
Santos (the Bay of All Saints), and the topography is predominently hill and
valley.
It's for this reason that people speak of a cidade alta (upper city) and
cidade baixa(lower city). Both are connected on the bay side by the famous
Elevador Lacerda. Taking the elevator beats walking up down the steeply
inclining streets which also connect the upper and lower city. There is a
fifteen centavo charge for the ride (that's about two cents). Taking the
elevator is also safer than walking. (Walking up is NOT recommended!).
The rugged geography of Salvador can be disorienting to people new to the
city. Neighborhoods (bairros) tend to be built on the hill-sides, with
-
7/27/2019 [Atualizado] Booklet Para Os Trainees - Aiesec Salvador
14/42
14
thoroughfares twisting around and between. Streets zigzag and change
names, and a lot of them are one-way.
One of the principal characteristics of the city is the outgoingness of the
people. People talk to strangers here, and are friendly to them. People are
not divided by that initial suspicion of strangers that marks so many other
places, at least as far as where sociability is concerned. It's easy to meet
people.
The PeopleYou don't have to be born in Bahia to be a Baiano. All you have to do is relax
into the city lifestyle, and soon you will become one. There are some basics
you should learn first, though, if you want to make friends with locals.
The most important thing is that time is a flexible concept in Salvador.
Unless you are going to a business meeting, half an hour late means on time.
If you don't understand this, you will live on the verge of a nervous
breakdown while in the city, convinced that everyone else is trying to leave
you behind.
As we mentioned before, only few people speak English. They are very
helpful though, and when you try to speak some Portuguese as well, it will
be very much appreciated. Ask them to speak slow or repeat things, they
will do it with pleasure.

Brazilians are not Hispanics,
but they share many
similarities with their Latino
cousins. Bahians have nothing
against touching each other:
two kisses on the cheeks is
how most boys and girls greet
in informal situations. Another
shared trait is an inherent love
for soccer. In Salvador there
are 2 important teams, to be a
true baiano you have to pick
your favorite between Bahia
and Vitria.
Due to the country's ethnic diversity, racial discrimination in Brazil is keptto a minimum. Most everybody shares Portuguese, African and Indian roots.
Waves of immigrant from Europe and Asia also have contributed to the
diversity of accents and customs that youll find here.
With the urban favelas, working class communities on hills, learning to
share space with people with different cultural and social values is a
survival skill.
If you want to learn more about Baianos, particularly about the specific way
that the Baianos talks, check out a very funny book called " Dicionrio de
Baians ". The author, Nivaldo Lari can teach you everything you need to
understand that exotic and cool language.

The Beaches
Salvador is literally surrounded by beaches. They are where people go to
relax, cool off, chill, socialize, eat, drink, dance, exercise, surf, and of
course swim. They vary from crowded city beaches great for meeting
people to tropical idylls a short way up the coast.
Boa Viagem Beach
Is famous for the variety of shellfish, which you can try in
the local restaurants. From the beach you have a great view
of the city. Besides the natural attractions, Boa Viagem
offers soccer games on the sand.
Porto da Barra
This beach is one of the most popular in the city thanks to
its calm, clear waters and its easy access. Two excellent
examples of Brazilian colonial architecture are located on
this beautiful cove Fort Santa Maria and Fort So Diogo,
which is open for visits. In front of Fort So Diogo, there is
a stone marker, celebrating the official foundation of
Salvador, in 1549.

Porto da Barra was, interestingly, the site of Bahia's first
European settlement, Vila Velha, or the Old Village. During
the 1960's it was a hangout for the Tropicalistas, Caetano
Veloso, Gilberto Gil, and their crowd, and it continues to be
a popular hangout to this day.
On weekends, especially Sundays, the beach can get very
crowded, and you have to be careful about where you put
your stuff. Sandals, sunglasses, and like items can disappear
in an instant, quite often by innocent-enough looking kids
playing around in the sand near you. The beach is set within
the bay and the water is much calmer than on the oceanside
beaches; it's good for swimming.
Porto da Barra, like all Salvador beaches, has its barracas
(baHAcas) where beer and whatnot can be bought. The city
passed an ordinance recently decreeing that at Porto (as
the beach is commonly called), beer must be sold in cans,
and not in the usual 650 ml. bottles. This is supposedly so
that the jagged edges of broken beer bottles won't be
used in fights.
Farol da Barra
Protected by a chain of coral reefs, the sea along this
beach is calm with small waves and lovely tidal pools at low
tide. At the side closer to the Christ Statue, the waves are
bigger with nice crests that are good for surfing. Divers
and snorkelers enjoy the sunken ship just beyond the
Lighthouse and the coral reefs. The main coastal road,
which is lined with a good selection of bars, restaurants and
hotels, runs past this beach.

Farolmeans "lighthouse" (the word "farol" is derived from
"Pharos", the name of the small island of the coast of
Alexandria, Egypt, where a great lighthouse, one of the
Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was built). At Farol
da Barra the barracas are the more standard Bahian issue -
- tropical-looking thatched huts. The end of the beach
closest to the lighthouse is rocky, with protected pools
making it a good place for kids to safely play in the water.
The far end of the beach is usually surfer territory.
Ondina
It is incredibly beautiful. The reefs that hug the shoreline
form natural pools at low tide and keep the waves to a
minimum. One stretch of the beach is good for surfing.
Amaralina
It is famous for its acaraj and other typical dishes that
can be found in the kiosks along the coast. Amaralina has
strong waves, proper for surf and windsurf, besides the
special stretches for sportive fishing.
Jardim dos
Namorados
(Lovers Garden)
It is not recommended for swimming, but is very good for
walking. Another attraction is the reel fishing.
Armao
Strong waves attract the tourists and the windsurf lovers.
In the past, this beach used to receive many ships from
Africa, bringing people to become slaves, during a time
when the official traffic was prohibited. This wide-open
stretch of beach has very little vegetation and is not
recommended for swimming because of the strong
undertow. Salvadors newest shopping and leisure center
the Aeroclube Plaza Show is located here. Bahias

Convention Center, some high quality hotels and some of the
best restaurants in Salvador are located in Armao.
Artistas (Artists)
Despite strong winds, and currents in some spots, this
beach is very popular among the inhabitants of the
neighboring areas. Next to the beach there is a court for
different sports.
Corsrio and
Jaguaribe
Proper for surfing, these beaches are meeting points for
the young people. The nights are crowded: live music, many
bars, restaurants, discos and other attractions. In Corsrio
you will find one of the most important areas of
environmental preservation and leisure in Salvador,
Pituau's Metropolitan Park.
Pituau
It is a nice place, with calm waters, protected by a chain of
coral reefs. The visitors will find small waves and kiosks
serving fresh food along the coast .
Farol de Itapu
This beach is a real paradise for surfers thanks to its big
waves. The main attraction in the beach is the lighthouse
with a wonderful view.
Itapu
The inspiration for many songs by renowned Bahian
composers and singers, the beach today is no longer as
primitive as it once was. The waters are calm with small
waves, and there are coral reefs in some areas.
Itapoan (also spelled Itapoand Itapu) used to be a village
quite apart from Salvador, but it has since been aborbed
into the greater Salvador metropolitan area, and you fans
of Brazilian music may have heard the place mentioned in
the eponymous (and nonpareil) Tarde em Itapoan

(Afternoon in Itapoan) by Toquinho and Vinicius de Moraes.
The beach at Itapoan starts at almost right angles to the
general lay of the beaches running up the coast, then it
rounds a bend and a bit further up is another lighthouse,
the Farol de Itapoan. Now, the waters off that first
stretch of beach tend to be calm and good for swimming
(and a lot of the barracas there are, well, really cool), but
just beyond the Farol the waters can be treacherous.
Stella Maris
It is ideal for surfing, but some stretches are good for
swimming. It is crowded on weekends, when it receives
young people.
Pituba
It is a good place for both surfers and swimmers, once it
presents a calm stretch, with rocks and yellow sand, as well
as a stretch appropriated for nautical sports, with stronger
waves. Very frequented by the locals.
WeatherSalvador is a tropical place, which means that its hot most of the year
round. During the winter (May August) it gets windy and rainy. There are
rainstorms almost every day, so bring your umbrella! During the summer
(September April) it gets hot during the day and cools off at night. Bring
light clothes for the day and a light jacket for night time. And an extra
rule: always carry your beach stuff with you, the weather might change
during the day and you never know when you will end up at the beach.
Also sunset is quite early: between 5.15 pm and 6.15 pm, depending on the
season. There are many beautiful places in Salvador to enjoy this spectacle
every day!

What to wearThe first thing to keep in mind while packing, is that Baianos dress casual
and light. The second is that if you forget anything, you will find somethingsimilar at local stores.
Bring your favorite pair of tennis shoes and flipflops. You will be walking
around a lot, and you need very comfortable walking shoes. A pair of casual
shoes will do for the evening. You will need dress shoes for business and
smart nightclubs. Comfortable clothes are a question of survival. Choose
natural fabrics that breathe like cotton, and linen. Bermudas or cargo
shorts with lots of pockets are great for the day. The longer ones are more
in fashion, especially for men. In addition to the mandatory pair of jeans,
bring casual pants like chinos or khakis for the evening. Also keep in mind
that for work, a little more formal dress is asked, minishorts and - skirts
are not allowed, same for flipflops!

There are hot and sunny days even in the winter. You need something to
wear at the beach. Many guys wear surfer's trunks, and take them off
every now and then to keep the tan line in check. Bahian men favor wider
swimming briefs, and bikini briefs are not considered sexy even among gay
men.
Remember there is not sunshine all year round, in the winter, you can face
days of cold winds and heavy rain, come prepared! If you want to travel
more to the south during July-August, it will be more winter even there, so
bring warm clothes as well.
PortugueseAlthough Brazil is surrounded by Spanish-speaking countries, the language
here is Portuguese. Anyone dealing directly with tourists will understand,
and try hard to speak English.
Be aware that very few people in Salvador, outside touristic areas, speakEnglish, even at the airport! With Spanish, you can get around more or less.
We realize Portuguese is not a first choice as a second language, and
nobody expects you to become a pro. A Portuguese guide and some basic
knowledge is necessary though! Start with learning how to read and
pronounce Portuguese, it will surely come handy when you have to say the
name of a street, or some place you are going to. Take some time to
prepare and study some basic Portuguese before arrival.
The only letter in the Portuguese alphabet you may not be familiar with is
the "", a consonant that always sounds like an s. The sound of the "r" is
also a little tricky. It usually sounds pretty much like the hin loch, or the
German Nacht. When surrounded by vowels it sounds like the Italian prego,or Corleone. The hhas a mute sound, unless combined with a c, lor n, as in
-

23/42

chato (SHA-too), alho (A-lyoo), and punho (POO-nyo). The smay sound like
an s in sbado (SA-ba-doo), a z in asa (A-za), or an sh before some
consonants, or at the end of words so it's gatos (GA-toosh), and afasta (a-
FASH-ta).
Vowels may have an open or a closed sound, and sometimes there is an
accent to indicate. The one that looks like a little hat means a closed sound,
thus voc (vou-SAY) and at (a-TE). The "~" lends a nasal sound to the a in
ma (ma-SUN). The o combination is very common in words like cho (sh-
AWn) and po (PAWn). This is the maybe the hardest sound for the foreignspeaker to pronounce. To practice, imagine you are repeating a mantrathat
goes AWn, AWn, AWn...

Essential InformationBooking a flightIf you have to book a domestic flight from So Paulo or Rio de Janeiro to
Salvador, there are some good domestic companies. You can check them out
on: http://www.submarinoviagens.com.br
But be aware that for some of them, you need a Brazilian CPF number to
book them! Check if the site accepts your country for credit cards. This
might be the case for GOL, Avianca, Azul TAM Airlines can be booked
from abroad without problems, eg through expedia.nl, but is a bit more
expensive: http://www.submarinoviagens.com.br
ArrivalKeep us updated!: Please update us about your tickets and arrival time. Tell
us at least 5 days before coming so that we can organize ourselves to pickyou up in the airport. If you tell us later than that, we cant guarantee that
well be able to pick you up in the airport. Also keep in touch with us often.
Its important to keep a good communication before you arrive so that we
help you. Youll probably be arriving in Brazil through Rio de Janeiros or
So Paulos International Airports or coming directly to Salvador.
On the planeThe airline staff will give you a short form to fill in, which you will hand to
the authorities at the airport. You will keep half of this document, and
must present it upon your departure (failure to do so could lead to delays
while the authorities check the details of your stay).
At the airport

27/42

You should buy a pre-paid telephone card from the airport for calls
to our office or emergency use. The cards come in values of 20, 35 and 50
units - they cost from R$2,00. You can say Quero comprar um carto
telefnico (pronounced ke-row kong-prah oom car-toe te-le-fo-nee-ko) to
the retailer to ask for one. If you arrived in Brazil without Reais (the
Brazilian currency), the airport is a good place to take some money out.
Make sure that you use an ATM that is connected to the international
networks. Banco do Brasil (yellow and blue) has ATMs with VISA and
Mastercard stickers on them that are usually connected.
Please note that many of the airport staff (especially at Congonhas
domestic airport if you are in So Paulo) will not speak English a good
phrasebook can be essential here!
Upon arrival in Brazil, you will have to go through Customs. Make sure you
have the documents you filled out on the plane and your passport in hand.
Customs officers usually give foreign visitors a break. They prefer to preyupon Brazilian travellers, who love to bring back home loads of luggage.
There is a green-light-red-light system, but everybody knows someone
picks out who gets the red light. Customs officers have all legal rights to
search your luggage. You will gain more by co-operating, than by acting
insulted. If you are picked out by a Customs officer by any chance, keep
cool. Be helpful, friendly and firm.
Arrival in Salvador:Your plane will land at the Luiz Eduardo Magalhes International Airport.
You are about 20-25 minutes away from the Downtown (Iguatemi), if
traffic is good.
Hopefully, youve communicated to AIESEC Salvador your arrival
information and there will be a happy group of AIESECers at the airport to

greet you. However, heres some information about getting to the city
from the airport that might be helpful if you travel later in your stay:
Take a taxi (Recommended for newly arrived): This can be pretty
expensive, depending on where youre going. Try and take a taxi from the
back or the second row, as these tend to be cheaper. Youll probably end up
spending R$60-R$80. A bargain is close to R$50.
Take an executive bus:Theres a bus stop on the last lane in front of the
airport where you can take a nice air-conditioned bus. It costs R$4 and
goes past most of the major neighborhoods and hotels in the city.
Take a city bus: This is not recommended for new arrivals. You have to
cross the lanes of traffic in front of the airport and walk around on the
sidewalk to the left to the bus terminal. From here, you can get a city bus
for R$2,80 to just about any city neighborhood.
Using the Telephone:Most public telephone are card operated (a card with 30 units costs around
R$2,50). They are present on virtually every street and are easily
recognizable. Brazilian cities have area codes as follows:
Salvador: 71
So Paulo: 11
Rio de Janeiro: 21
To make a local call, just dial the 8-digit number. To call a different city,
first dial 0, then the code of the operator to use. Brazil has multiple phone
operators however both Embratel and Intelig (codes 21 and 23
respectively) offer national coverage.
-
7/27/2019 [Atualizado] Booklet Para Os Trainees - Aiesec Salvador
29/42
29
Then dial the city code and finally the number. From overseas, you dial
your international access code, the country code (55) and omit the operator
code. For example, to ring AIESEC Salvador:
Dial 3332-6377 from within Salvador
Dial 0 [21 or 23] 71 3332-6377 from another Brazilian city
Dial [int access code] 55 71 3332-6377 internationally
Brazil uses both the GSM and CDMA systems for mobile phones, so most
handsets from elsewhere should work. Although charges while roaming may
be excessive, while in Brazil you can buy a local SIM card. Operators with
interesting offers are TIM, Vivo, Oi,.
If for any reason do you need to call to your country there is one place to
do it in Praa da S (Many buses go there from around the city). Calling is a
little expensive about 0.90 centavos per minute or a little more. Probably
its the only place in Salvador with this service.
Important Phone Numbers- Police: 190
- Accident and Emergency/ Pronto Socorro: 192
- Fire station: 193
- Information: 102
These emergency numbers are the same anywhere in the country.

Important InformationHealthFirst of all some issues that count for all Latin-America: the water from
the tap is not drinkable, be careful with fruit and raw vegetables and wash
your hands regularly. Use filtered water or cook it first. When you do get
sick, stick to a diet of bread or crackers, rice, bananas and tea. You can get
easily medication at the pharmacy, which you can find in many places, even
in the supermarket. Make sure you have health insurance with you!
If you need to see a doctor or go to a hospital:
http://www.saude.salvador.ba.gov.br/index.php?option=com_content&ta
sk=view&id=468&Itemid=160
Anything, you can ask to your buddy or the Quality and Service team.
TransportOn foot
Walking is one of the best ways to explore neighborhoods. Pick out the
right starting point and walk your way to the beaches, excellent
restaurants, shopping, movies, theatres, concert halls, and all other
conveniences. Invest on a good pair of walking shoes and a sun hat. A stroll
along the beach on Sundays is almost mandatory. One of the lanes is closed
to cars, and pedestrians take over in grand style. Just make sure you leave
your valuables at home.

White taxisYou don't have to go far to find a taxi in Salvador - they are everywhere.
And hard to miss, too - all taxis are white , blue and red stripe on the sides.
The white taxisrun by the meter. The initial fare is R$3,50 and the meter
starts ticking as soon as you get in. After 9 p.m. and on weekends fares are
a little higher (the meter is set to bandeira 2). You do not need to give tips.
Some taxis are air-conditioned at no extra charge.
A word to the wise:Do notmake pre-paid deals with yellow taxis. They are
illegal, and probably mean the driver is trying to take advantage of you. Hailthe next cab. We've heard of taxis trying to pull this dirty trick.
Radio TaxiA more sophisticated alternative. Cars are bigger and usually air-
conditioned. Call one of the companies providing this kind of service and tell
them where to pick you up, where to drop you off, and at what time. Some
radio-taxis charge by the meter, others charge flat rates. Ask for all
-
7/27/2019 [Atualizado] Booklet Para Os Trainees - Aiesec Salvador
32/42

details first. They will ask for a contact phone and call you back to confirm
the ride. Some radio taxis phone:Teletaxi 0800717111 (free call) / 3341-9988
Comtas 0800710311 (free call) / 3377-6311
Air-conditioned busesAir-conditioned buses can be hailed, just like taxis. They run along the
beach, and connect neighborhoods to each other, downtown. They do not
have a fixed schedule posted on the street, though. As they are not as
frequent as regular buses, you may have to wait for a few minutes.
Enter in the bus from the front and take any empty seat. Later the bus
clerk will charge you. You may ask the driver to drop you off anywhere
along the way. This service is available only during the day.
VansWhile you are waiting for an air-conditioned buschances are a van will stop
and offer to take you to your destination. These vans are regulated. The
price is around R$2,00.
BusesSalvadors most popular means of transportation, yet the trickiest to
master. First of all, dont try to look for a timetable, there isnt one. Just
ask the people if the bus that you need passes there and wait for it to
come. A ride on a circular line bus is R$2,80. There are bus lines connecting
the whole city, and unlike in the US do notneed exact change. There is a
professional known as cobrador sitting behind a turnstile to collect your
money and give you change. Buses are not air-conditioned, and at rush
hours they look more like sardine cans.

Safety is an issue to consider. Sometimes pickpockets and petty thieves
take advantage of crowded buses to prey upon commuters. Someone with a
US$2,000 camera mesmerized by Salvadors natural beauties right out the
window spells victimall over. If you take regular buses try to look like you
belong, do not carry valuables, nor wear jewelry.
Also, you don't enter via the front door. You get on through the backdoor.
Rush hour is from 7-9 in the morning and 6-8 in the evening. Keep in mind
you need an hour or more to get from one place to another. Buses ride until
10.30 pm more or less and start in the morning around 5 am. Buses at thecoast might be in service until midnight. But in the night its safer to take a
taxi

Useful InformationSafetyWhile Salvador may not be safe as Copenhagen orpost-GiulianiManhattan,
but you will feel very safe at most of tourist areas, and if you follow a few
common sense rules, you really should stay out of trouble.
The city is doing a serious effort to deal with the safety issue, and results
are starting to show. One thing to keep in mind is that Salvador is a city of
social contrasts. You cannot turn the other way, and pretend you are in
Rodeo Drive or Disneyland. This definitely does not mean you have to be
paranoid all the time, though. Relax, and learn how locals deal with their
personal safety. Here are some basic guidelines we try to follow ourselves.
Avoiding the pitfalls1. Do not bother bringing flashy jewellery, gold, or platinum watches. If
you've got it, this is notthe place to flaunt it.
2. Carry along a photocopy of your passport, in case you are asked to
show some ID (often for entrance at nightclubs and always when you
take a long distance bus). Do not take your original passport out of
your house unless heading to the airport.
3. Do not take along more cash than you need. Most restaurants and
stores take plastic, anyway and most Brazilians pay with cards too.
4. Stay at areas specifically recommend.
5. Avoid dark or isolated areas where you do not see a single soul at
night. If you dont feel safe or if you get lost, take a cab. Follow
your instincts.

6. Walk with a sense of purpose, as if you know where you are going.
7. Don't walk around with your camcorder or your state-of-the-art
camera swinging from your limp hand, like a shopping bag. Keep
electronics out of sight while on the street, cell phones included.
8. If you bring along expensive cameras or camcorders, consider
insurance!
9. At the beach, do not leave your expensive camera, passport or cash
laying around on the sand unattended while you go for a few laps. Do
not hideyour money in the sneakers, either. If youre going to take a
swim, ask someone nearby to keep an eye on your stuff. If possible,
dont bring anything to the beach other than a house key, a canga,
and flip-flops.
10.At night, if possible, avoid carrying a bag, especially purses. Try and
keep everything in your pockets so that youll be less of a target.
(Though thieves know to look for cellphones in your pockets. Just be
aware of your surroundings and stay in a group at night and you
should be fine!)
11.When walking around at night, avoid speaking languages other than
Portuguese.
12.If you take a bus, avoid the window seat, or the back rows. Keep the
exact change in hand, so you don't have to mess with your wallet
(which obviously is in your front pocket).
13.Good Night Cinderellais an old trick that works wonders. You take a
drink offered by a friendly stranger. It contains powerful sleeping
drugs. You will need help to get back to your hotel room, and this
-
7/27/2019 [Atualizado] Booklet Para Os Trainees - Aiesec Salvador
36/42
36
person will gain access to your valuables while you are helpless. Do
not leave your drink unattended at bars or discos, for the same
reason.
14.Don't take strangers you've just met back to your room - even if you
think you are in love! This is the easiest way to become a victim of
violence, or theft. Take them to a honeymoon motel, instead.
15.At nightclubs, stay away from dreadfulpitboys. These muscular guys,
nicknamed after their mandatory pitbulls, tend to hang out in boys-
only groups, and may pick up fights for no apparent reason. As they
sometimes greet each other with a kiss in the mouth, they could be
mistaken for harmless Barbies.
16.Don't get involved with the drug scene, even if you think you know
what you're doing. You dont.
17.If the worse happens, and you are approached by a criminal element,
try to keep calm. Do not fight. They may be on drugs, could react
violently, and you certainly have more to lose than they do. If
someone confronts you or robs you, let them have it. The thief
might have a knife or gun concealed. Money and phones can be
replaced, you cant.
Though police officers in the street try to be helpful, most do not speak
other languages. If you need to report something was stolen for insurance
purposes, go to the tourist police . Their office is conveniently located at:

37MoneyThe currency is the Real (R$). VISA is the most popular credit card and
you can easily use it at the Banco do Brasil, our main bank. As it is a market
exchange rate and Brazil still considered an unstable country, exchange
rates vary a lot from day to day.
For todays rate:
http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/currencies/americas_currencies.html
Banco do Brasil excepts for sure foreign cards, others dont always do that.
Keep in mind that you pay a fee everytime you take money from an ATM!
Also bring more than one card with you, that you keep with your passport at
home or in a safe place. In case something happens you have a spare one.
Dont keep all your money in the same place, spread it over different places
than just your wallet.
Cost of LivingBrazil is mostly cheaper than Europe, but more expensive compared to
other countries in Latin-America. Here is a list of average prices for living
costs:

Accommodation:Youll stay in host family (family or share with students as well).
Unfortunelyyou wont be able to choose. Dont worry you wont be without a
place to sleep, but there might be a chance of having to change house
during the internship. The place youll live wont have luxuries, so dont
expect Wifi at home, for example. Also hot water is not a standard in
Brazilian households. But we make sure you have a bed, a bathroom and
some privacy. Host families are not obliged to provide you with food,
however we make sure there Is a kitchen where you can prepare your own
things. Also host families are spread out through the city, so dont expectto live in the city centre and on walking distance.
Very important: talk with your family about the rules and customs the first
days. There might be a curfew, ask about the rules about staying in other
houses and bringing people along to your host family. Respect the house and
the family and clean up after yourself. Brazilians are real family people and
probably will include you in family gatherings and trips during your stay.
Besides that, youll only have accommodation guaranteed and provided by
AIESEC during the internship days.

Nightlife In SalvadorOne of the major Salvador attractions is the myriad of nightlife
possibilities. Baianos are a festive breed, and seem to find a different
thing to do every night of the week.
Go to the movies or theater, or warm up at the bars and cafs. Stretch the
night at the samba halls, dance clubs and special parties. Girls often pay
less entrance than boys. An interesting concept is the open bar, where
you pay only entrance, but can have free drinks all night long. There's lots
to do if you're young, old, single, married, straight, gay, lesbian, or anything
in-between. This is a city that caters to all tastes.
Movie theaters in Salvador feature movies in the original language, with
Portuguese subtitles. The theater scene is also quite interesting. Even if
you don't speak Portuguese, you will enjoy watching musicals, or even
something more sophisticated like the opera or a ballet at the Municipal
Theater. Live music and shows are an attraction apart. There's everything
from intimate performances in cozy cafes, to major shows at concert halls
for as many as 4,000
The dance scene is very diversified. Do not miss the ax music shows,
Bahias popular rhythm. Ax (ASH-AY) means "Good Luck", a strong will,
faith. It is today one of the hottest rhythms in Brazil, especially during thenon-stop dancing during carnival season. Be aware that you might pay some
extra fee when there is live music in a bar.
Dance clubs play the latest hits from house to techno, trance, whatever is
the new trend. Find the right club for you, and have a great time! On
weekends do not miss circuit parties, and other specials.
