Go and admire the view from...

Go and admire the view from CORCOVADO.
It's quite obvious and touristy but it's not witohut reason that it's one of the most photographed views on earth. Seen from here Rio's setting is really the most beautiful.
If only it would have been brighter - but I'm not complaining. While we went uphill it was raining and you couldn't see a thing because of the clouds. We stopped halfway and couldn't even spot Christ's statue on the top - let alone Sugarloaf and the Atlantic beaches. Once we reached the top it suddenly became clear and we could see the whole city. Ir was such a relief...just imagine what it would have been like: making it to Rio from Hungary and then standing on the Corcovado seeing almost nothing.

Brazillians LOVE very very cold beer! if it's just cold, it's not good anymore. They drink a lot of beer, but don't be surprised when you see it, cause they're beer is a lot "lighter" than... well, at least than portuguese!
Bathing Suits!
by racheljapi
Alright, the Brazilians have style down, especially at the beach. There are many things foreigners can do to make themselves stick out on the beach (being VERY white as one) but a big one is the type of bathing suit. Regardless of fitness level, Brazilians strut their stuff in little bikinis or speedos (males and different then european and american). When in Rome...Go get one.
THE MOTHER'S DAY CAKE
by RafaelTheSecond
We had two cakes, one carrot cake which My Mother did and the chocolate cake which my aunt Edna did, both were incredible. This one I specially like because I WORSHIP CHOCOLATE CAKES!;)
And we put many qualities that a mother can have, one of them is ENDLESS LOVE!
