In Denmark where the weather is much colder you rarely flip-flops, but only 10-15 days a year (unless you love the cold).
In the warmth of Brazil, Brasilia, where I have only experienced temperatures between 28 and 38 degrees, with only a few days without sunshine, it's perfect for flip-flops. I know my sweatty feet love it too.
But to my surprise I can't wear them everywhere. Obvious you might say, but at least my doctor hasn't complained in Denmark.
So once going to the doctor in Brasilia, to the public office (cartorio) or cathedral I had to wear normal shoes... surprise surprise...
How can people keep there feet dry all day ? Many places there are airconditions, but still...
There are lots of different things between the two countries, which I most adjust to. One thing is a bigger respect for authorities and titles.
I would never wear anything but closed shoes, pants and a nice shirt/polo for work in an office in Denmark or Europe, but some years ago people in offices lots the tie. Unless you are top level management or employees meeting customers directly. The trend came from the US to be more relaxed and casual, and at the same time came employee motivation questionaires.
I still love wearing my Havaianas indoors or to the beach !
