A Few Choice Words on Personal Hygiene

Firstly, an ode to the bidet gods:

O gracious gods of bidets, I thank thee for the bountiful blessings you bestow upon my bottom
I am ever grateful and in your service, though I do not know how to literally reciprocate the favor
Thanks to you, the refreshment I feel after eating feijoada rivals that of a post-salad defecation
I return to thee the love and care that I have received 

A clean bottom provides clarity and peace of mind.

On a different note:

Apparently, it is very important here to always "fica cheiroso," or to smell good. People shower 3-4 times a day and wear lots of cologne/perfume. Body odor is not acceptable. 

This is going to be problematic for me. I actually like the smell of BO--on myself and on members  of the opposite sex. Shit--I am lucky if I get a shower every other day! And here I am with my salt deodorant crystal. Look out, brasileiros! A not-so-cheiroso Americano is in town! 

And on that note, we cue the music. BAM!
