Food, glorious food!

Coffee is very very important here. It's called cafezinho which is a little hot espresso shot (very strong) and people drink it every few hours. They put in a full packet of sugar or a few drops of liquid sweetner (which i think it quite strange).

Fruit is very exotic in Brazil. Papayas, Mangos, Strawberries, Kaki (see picture!), Bananas, Oranges, Pineapples are what I usually eat for breakfast along with some french or arab bread and quiejo minhas (white cheese)also pictured which is fantastic!





For lunch, I usually grab a sandwich and eat on the beach or go to a kilo place (you pay for how much you get).

Dinner is usually the typical Brazilian meal which is rice, black beans, chicken, and a vegetable. Sometimes we have pasta or soup though…depends on the day! They also drink a lot of suco (juice) here! Especially since Rio drinking water is not safe.

On a sidenote, today we visited EBX, which is Eike Batista’s company (the 8th richest man in the world). The presentation was cool and its really awesome how fast they are expanding and hiring so many employees.

Going out for happy hour tonight! Tchau!
