My Brazil- first step to S. America

This time , on my Johannesburg, i thought of going to Brazil and Chile and visit a new place in South america. So after my hefty schedule, i tried to take some time and went alone to Brazil with South African airways.

I landed on Beautiful sao Paulo in Brazil and is a major city of it. Here in Sao paulo you will find people from all the parts of the world..ranging from Greek to Arabians to portugese and english and dutch and the list goes on and on. The people here I found to be very friendly with foreigners. But most of them are soccer crazy and some live almost for that sake of soccer and beer.

Taking a car i though, but then came to know that roads here are in pretty bad conditions so its advisable to take a bus or train or if no-frill airline. i stayed in hotel along seaside and did some shopping with Visa card. The currency of Brazil is Real(BRL). The shopping here i preffered is good because the quality is good and things are cheap too. The Real rates are awful and its not easy to deal with it.

Then I went to Brasilia, its capital and a very commercial huge centre where all high ministers and Bureacracy resides formally. There are many beautiful buildings in Brasilia. I took a city trip in a local bus and saw many things and historical places of Brasilia. Its portugese language that hampered me a lot awful and english is not in common unless you are to some noteworthy place of tourism. This had creates a problem for me upto some extent.Brasilia i had a trip and was now off by airline top Rio de Janerio. rio de janerio is world famous and a location of interest. Here you go out and see some beautiful statues and sight seeing. Of course sea is near this place and i was quick to get out there. At this level i had given out enough bucks for traveling. to travel beach side and one of the most sunniest place, my advise is go to Natal. I went there and enjoyed the sunny beach and dubes. Its cheap and you must surely visit if you are a beach lover like me.

Brasil is most famous for other thing, that is cuisine or best quality delicious yummy food. Specially Pizza, seafood, and many other dishes recognized purely world-wide. Its famous dish is a stew of beans known as Fiejoda. You can have your taste on this for Non-veg. And generally is non-veg all where in Brazil. Brazil’s Pizza is better than EU nations and its mozrella cheese is also better than italian or german one. One will find more variety of Pizza here than anywhere in the world.

Cachaca is a famous alcoholic liquid here. Beer is good quality and also rum,whisky. Its high-strong coffee is its informal copyright over the world. You will find coffee nowhere better than Brazilian one. On Beaches you can have coconut drinks to sooth your body and juices are available too which are quite tasty.

I had a ferry in Amazon river and was quite thrilling to me. The ferry charged me but it was an unique experience in amazon river.

You can go to campo grande or El salvador too if you have time. Salvador was also a good fine city. i enjoyed and then had to go as i had less time. so i was in chile after Brazil. Chile i must say is a broad strip covering most of eastern South-America and easily accessible through Bolivia, peru , Urugay,argentine or surely Brazil.

At chile the main national carrier is LAN and all internaional flights arrive at Santiago.Chile is surrounded by borders of many countries like peru,bolivia-a dispute has been there between both countries because of river water,brazil,venezula,Argentina.

 90% people are roman catholic and other protetant and marginally 1 % jewish people.Chile is Republic state with president as head.At markets like of santiago beware of having cash but chile has very less violence rate.

Chile is natural beauty aroma.
