Trip to Brazil is over..am currently in Dubai again, waiting for flight back to KL..since I have 4 hours before boarding, I guess I can share with you all some of my experiences in Sao Paulo & Rio de Jenairo.
Here are the weird and interesting things about Brasil.. :D..well, interesting for me la~..
1. Hello/Hi = Oi.. :D so don't think they are rude when they called "Oi!" to you.. :P
2. Most of the people in Sao Paulo don't understand English at all..communication is TOUGH!
3. At exhibition, since most of them don't understand English, once they heard me saying "English??"..they'd run away~ (-__-")
4. In Rio, there are people who suddenly come and talk to you..not sure whether he's high or just friendly..
5. Cheek kissing is kinda common there, I've been receiving 3 cheek kisses while I'm there- 1 from an old guy at the exhibition, 1 from a friend who join the city tour and 1 from a stranger who told me he stays at his Rio apartment and don't have a job (wtf?)..weird~
6. Weather in Sao Paulo and Rio are considered good. Sunny and cool..great combination..me likey!
7. From my observation at the Ibirapuera Park & Copacabana beach, women in Sao Paulo are confident with their body..no matter if you are flabby or you have belly, you can wear 2 pieces and no one care!..
8. Boobs are the most important assets in Brazil..you can see boobs & clivages within 1m around you..perhaps this is why men are attracted to Brazil..:P..
9. Brazilian guys are obsessed with soccer..even taxi drivers have tv showing soccer games in their taxi or radio cast on the live soccer game.
10. Sadly, the nearest samba dance I saw was a silly performance from some city tour friends. They are from Chile. We visited the venue where the Brazil Carnival are usually held, and they wore the carnival costumes and started dancing samba like mad people..their
music were something like this..tuttururu..tuttururu..interesting & funny!
11. Taxis cost a fortune in Sao Paulo, since most of the places are not within walking distance. In Rio, you can still walk to some places. Example, I'm staying at Copacabana, I can still walk to Ipanema & Leblon beach and a lot of market & shops nearby.
12. You can see many policemen in Rio, since a lot of tourists are there. When you are in Brazil, you are advised to stay low profile..don't even consider to wear your watches.
13. During my stay in Rio, I kinda always get salty food..not sure if it's just me..or the recipe is suppose to be salty.
14. There are A LOT of graffiti in Brazil, some are very nice and colorful..you can even see graffiti at houses..suka hati conteng rumah org~~~
15. Dogs are everywhere!!..from the small chihuahua, long hotdog-dog, to the big K9 and the one that looks like a snowdog..or is it the snowdog?..i even see the scooby dog at the park..hehe..but of course..i would run first if I saw them coming.. :P
i guess that's all for now..will continue the trip details once I've uploaded the pictures..which might take a few more days..hehehe..
Corcovado - Rio de Jenairo..very high location, cold, windy & the view is spectacular!
