Brasil 9. Café da manhã -Brazilian Breakfast-

It has been a while after I haven't write about "Series Brazil", actually I still have something I would like to add!

Breakfast = Café da manhã in Brazilian Porutoguese (literaly, coffee in the morning).

There if someone ask you "Café?" and if you say "Sim"(= yes),
they will not serve you just a coffee,
but with bread and all the breakfast menu! (well, I was surprised several times, since I was usually the sleepy and forgot about this fact each time...)

At hostel in Foz do Iguasu, 2007, August.

Also I would say the breakfast in Brazil is quite unique. As similar to other country which carries western custom, there's a coffee, bread cheese, ham and small amount of fresh vegetables,
but the special thing is there is always some sweet cake and fruits are coming together! e.g. watermelon, papiya.

One quote from a groupin facebook "You know you're Brazilian when..."

"Your breakfast consists of milk and coffee, bread with butter and a piece of cake."

Brasil 8. "Capoera"

Brazilian Martial art!!

Dynamic and acrobatic! The "Capoerist's" iron body but flexible muscles are really art!
And it was funny surprise that our tour guide suddenly started to join the Capoera and act there!

Btw there's one thai movie "Tom Yum Goong", where you can enjoy the action between
Capoera vs. Mue Thai(Thai Boxing)

It's funny and action is great, Check it out!!!

Brasil 7. "Coco"

Something you can't forget in Brazil is "Coco" (coconuts). At the small shops at the every corner, we can buy fresh "coco" with 2 reals (7 SEK, 0.8 euro, 120 en)!? Crash and open up the top of hard shell and drink a juice with straws. After finishing to drink juice, you may ask to chop out all the shell! You might say "Why?" It's because the white layer of inside of coconuts is also very sweet fruit to taste!!



Left, In Rio, I was focusing to take picture of "Quiosque" (= Coco stand(!?), the small food store just on the beach line), then the funky guy in the shop was running out to get in the photo, :D.

I like Brazilian people, hahaha!

(comment on the song: the sounds of clapping hand in a rhythmical tempo is very cool!)
