Rio De Janerio

I had a chance to visit Rio de Janerio November last year. What a beautifull place this is. The best part about rio are the people, very helpfull and smiling no airs about them.

Rio is very pretty with the mountains and beaches and the forrest all mixed together forming a gorgeous landscape. All the beaches needless to say are stunning, every 50 odd meters is a beach shack selling local beer SKOL and "capiriniha". I loved this drink, very refreshing cool and perfect for the beach setting, here's how you make it

Capiriniha
Add lots of crushed ice, not fully crushed to lemon wedges lots of then again and sugar, mull it together. Pour Casacha till glass is full :) (yes that correct). Give it a good shake and walla.

The national dish here is Fejuada, very heavy, actually its all parts of the pig, toungue, brain etc etc. I had it at a swank place in office. I liked it. Caution. It makes you sleepy. I had lots of other good food in Rio, pizzaz's filled with chocolate, girilled chicken varieties, fresh fish at the shaks and shrimps,crabs it was a very nice.

Sugar loaf and Corcovado offer terrific views of Rio and dont miss to jump from pedra de gaeva. one heck of a view and experience, not to be missed at any cost.

They speak portugese here and the only word i survived with is "obrigado" ->thank you thats all you need, they help you out with the rest :). and also bon dia -> good morning, i forgot good afternoon and evening although i was taught.

Rio is such a stunning place that you should visit here at least once, forget Europe go to Rio and have fun
