Is it easy to make friends in Brazil?

If you are an extroverted type, prepared to put yourself out there and not worried that you speak the language less than perfectly, you will make friends. However, if you are shy it might be more difficult. Brazilians are friendly enough, but like any people, chose to socialise with those whose company they enjoy.

How do people greet others in Brazil?
