Guaraná: The Delicious Drink You Must Try In Brazil

Okay. Problem. You are thirsty. What do you do? Grab water from the tap? You can't do that, you are in Brazil. Grab a Mountain Dew? You can't do that, you are in Brazil. Grab a cold refreshing glass of milk? You can't do that, you are in Brazil. Grab some Guaraná? Some what? That

Kids in the HALLS

You have a cough. Shouldn't have gotten sick in the first place, but now you have to do something to remedy this. What do you do? Nothing? Go to a doctor? Take some cough drops? Oh, cough drops you say? You mean like Halls? Because Halls are cough drops right? According to their website: HALLS

Fried Beach Cheese In Rio de Janeiro

Whenever I find myself on the beach in Rio (every day) I feel as though I am a preferred guest as a five-star hotel or a high-roller at a Vegas casino (at least what I imagine it's like): there are people who setup my chair and umbrella, people to make sure I have things to eat and drink (beer

How To Make “Mini-Pizzas” (by Guilio)
