Today I bring you 3 amazing facts about the United States that you may not know, some of them will surprise you. And yet, it is worth mentioning that there they have some customs that are very different from ours, such as when it comes to voting.
Here in Brazil in an election for president, on the same day we know who was elected and who failed to win the election. However, there in the United States sometimes it takes weeks to complete the vote count, do you know why this happens? Because voting there is by ballot, here in Brazil it is by electronic ballot box, and even today, many people still don't trust the ballot boxes, because they think they are easy to be circumvented.
However, the STE says that they are totally safe and that the Brazilian people have no reason to distrust it. Without further ado, let's now talk about these 3 amazing facts about the United States of America, are you ready?

3: Texas Was Once a State of Mexico
One of the most famous states in the USA is the Texas, however, few people here in Brazil know that he was once part of Mexico. Until 1834 this state belonged to Mexico, however, a revolution ended up there and Texas declared itself a country.
Eleven years passed, and in 1845 Texas decided to volunteer to be part of the United States, and so it happened.
Ah, when we talk about the word “Texas”, many people already automatically associate the state with a place with a “Western” atmosphere. But that's not how things are there, the proof of that is that this state is the second most populous in the USA.
2: Not Tipping Is Considered An Offense
Here in Brazil we rarely see people who tip in a restaurant, taxi or something like that, but in the United States it is different. Not doing the practice of tipping there is considered an offense to American culture, have you ever thought if Brazil were like that too?
So you already know, if you go to a restaurant or take a Taxi in the United States, leave the tip money separate. Otherwise you would be doing an offense to the culture of the country and they would probably look at you strangely lol.
1: are quite punctual
To close this list with three incredible facts about the United States, I will now talk about a common issue among North Americans. Unlike the vast majority of Brazilians, the American people have the habit of arriving at an appointment always on time or even earlier.
Here in Brazil, for an event to take place at 7 pm, I would put 6 pm on the invitation, as it is very likely that they will be late lol.
Anyway, these were the three facts I mentioned about the United States, let me know in the comments if you didn't know any of them. If you liked the content, I ask you to share it with all your friends and on all your Social Networks.
