Guaraná, anyone?
by b1bob
Aside from the pitiful meal on the flight down, I found out more about Mabel, a 25-year old, smart and nice looking (like no Mabel I knew before) MBA from Rio. Unfortunately, she has a boyfriend, but that didn't mean I couldn't talk to her. She recommended that I try a uniquely Brazilian soft drink called Guaraná from a local fruit by that same name. It's hard to describe the flavour, but the closest thing I can think of is to liken it to a fruity ginger ale. From that point on, I became hooked. I knew I'd be bummed if I couldn't find it after returning to the States. I had to find a way to market Antarctica Guaraná in the United States, for purely selfish reasons and if it made the drink company and me richer, so much the better. There are other brands of this treat, but Antarctica, in my opinion, is by far the best.
THE STREETS VENDORS IN RIO
by RafaelTheSecond
We can really eat delicious stuff in the street just like regular locas do, nearby the io's Bus Station, our Rodoviaria, we can eat the CHURRASQUINHOS!;)
Maybe it is not so clean and the proper places to do it, but David, romenia and I we always do like the romans do...Here it is not Rome, but we liked the churrasquinho anyway!;)
Churrasquinhos are fry meat (barbecue) that you can easily find in almost every corner of the Rio's suburbs!;)
