I think there is a LOT that Americans do not understand about Latin America. This is one of those things. Americans are super uptight about this issue. I've been to Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil (many times), Peru, Argentina, Chile, Belize, etc. All for work. Its all the same and its all...normal, if thats the right word to use. It shocked the hell out of me the first time I went to Brazil. Total fish out of water. How "the guys" go out in Latin America is NOT how "the guys" go out in America. Not even close. I'll leave it at that.
