My dad is going to Sao Paulo next week for business. I can't go along, so what sort of uniquely Brazilian items (jewelry, clothing, art, etc.) should I ask for him to bring back with him?...
I heard the popular cities there are Rio de Janerio and San Paulo... Which one is better to stay at for a hotel (keeping in mind- less expensive,more things to do, better people)... How much money ...
Ok this is a multi-question post. I wanna know what languages are spoken in Brazil, how Brazilians view Americans, and what places are there that are good to visit, like on vacation, but affordable?<...
It´s very common for people to associate soccer, beaches, women and carnaval with Brazil. Is that all you know about this country? What else do you like about Brazil?...
You would have to be able to read Portuguese to get recipes in Brazilian web sites, so I suggest two sites about Brazilian food that are in English.

Good luck

I lived there last year and this book was the best! I even met the author in Ipanema. Go to his website....rioforpartiers.com and click the English banner...His book - Rio For Partiers is great! It is an insiders guide and has a whole section of the foods and drinks. Even if you are not a "partier" this book is great - it explains the culture with humor and lots of pictures. I think you can also get the book from Amazon.com...by the way - my favorite thing was Pingo candy.

Like US Brazil is a very large country. But the difference is that Brazilian culture changes very much from place to place, so it is hard to say all Brazilian typical dishes. You may find good photos of typical Brazilian food at http://www.rio-online.com/index.php?id=464&L=5. Besides, if you want to make some other searches, you can go through www.cade.com.br or www.radaruol.com.br and type "comidas brasileiras, fotos". Good luck and enjoy your meal!
