Travel to Brazil

Roxy asked:


I would love to move to Brazil but have no knowledge on the country. Please provide suggestions on the best city to live. I want to for sure live by the beach so please recommend a good beach city in Brazil.

Your advice is appreciated.

I’ve tried 3 different crackers, light pressure, hard pressure, all kinds of stuff. Seems like 60% of the Brazil nuts I crack get caught in the shell. Anyone figured out how to crack these things successfully?

Traditionally Christmas is seen as a time to spend with the family. However, more and more people prefer not to spend Christmas at home. There is no shortage of options for the Christmas break. It is important to plan your Christmas holiday in advance so that you are not disappointed. First you need to decide what sort of holiday you want. Are you looking for a traditional Christmas or do you want to experience something completely new? Do you want to go somewhere that is cold and where snow is likely? Or do you long for some warm weather as a complete contrast to the British winter? Do you want a holiday with plenty of activities or are you looking for a relaxing quiet time away from the bustle of the city?

Many hotels in the UK offer Christmas breaks, ranging from relatively cheap to very expensive. Rooms in hotels in Wales and Bath can be booked for as little as £45.00 per person per night. Alternatively if you want to spoil yourself then you can travel to the Scilly Isles and enjoy champagne, boat trips, helicopter transfers from Cornwall and gourmet meals. For those seeking some peace and quiet during the holiday season, Skye may be just the place. You can stay in a lodge in a quiet corner of Skye and enjoy the food and walks around the lochs. Devon offers everything from thatched cottages with real wood fires and inglenook fireplaces, to olde-world country inns, to 4-star hotels. Whether you want the bright lights of London or the quiet of the Cornish countryside there will be something for you. Check around mid-December as often this is when hotels begin to offer room deals.

Christmas holidays abroad are becoming more popular for those who want to escape the commercialisation of Christmas or just the British weather. A wide range of trips is available from stays in an Austrian castle to beach holidays.

A number of travel companies offer tours that depart during the Christmas period. You can spend a leisurely week in Andalucia, enjoying the local cuisine and Moorish architecture or tour through Northern India, visiting the magnificent Taj Mahal, the Pink city of Jaipur and the Ranthambore National Park. Perhaps one of the most beautiful places to spend Christmas is in Lapland. Many holidays feature Lappish traditions and luxury cabins with Christmas trees. They also include champagne breakfasts, traditional Finnish Christmas Eve dinner and a reindeer, husky or snowmobile safari. Of course no trip to Lapland would be complete without a visit to Santa Claus. If you are looking for something truly unusual then why not try an igloo in Finland? You can stay in a snow or glass igloo and enjoy a spectacular view of the northern lights, go on a reindeer or husky safari and learn how to ice fish. Guests can also visit the snow restaurant, the ice bar and the Ice gallery that features some amazing ice sculptures. If you are travelling to a city and want to combine your Christmas trip with sight-seeing you should check in advance which attractions will be open during the Christmas period.

If you would prefer to travel to somewhere warm for Christmas there are plenty of options. You can choose a luxurious hotel in the Caribbean or try somewhere a bit different such as Cuba or Costa Rica. Other great destinations for the Christmas holiday period are South Africa, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, the Maldives, Thailand and Malaysia. It is best to book early and it is cheaper if you can depart before December 20-21. You don’t just have to consider countries that are predominantly Christian; the Red Sea Coast is another good destination although you need to book before the end of October. In fact the Muslim countries of the Middle East are becoming more popular with British travellers wanting to escape the excesses of Christmas at home. Some of the most popular destinations are Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Dubai and Oman. Turkey and Jordan are also rising in popularity.

For those who want a more active holiday, skiing is a good choice. Again if you are considering a Christmas break in the Alps then you need to book sometime in September or October. Once the first snow starts to fall in November availability will fall rapidly. This is especially true if you have children. For the more adventurous, there is ski-sailing in Norway, a snowmobile safari in Canada and much more.

Jivinder Singh Sabherwal asked:


It began as most ‘ethnic food movements’ do – with small restaurants in the neighborhoods where immigrants settled, diners and lunchrooms and tea rooms opened by those who wanted to offer a taste of home to their fellow émigrés. Chinese, Italian, Middle Eastern, Thai – from family run bistros, the cuisine spread as those outside the cultures of the ‘neighborhood’ learned of the good food and the word spread. The latest ‘new cuisine’ that is spreading like wildfire is Brazilian – a delicious blending of three separate cultures that comes together in dishes and delicacies that aren’t found anywhere else in the world.

To understand the cuisine of Brazil, one must understand a little of its history. The base of Brazilian cuisine is in its native roots – the foods that sustained the native Brazilians – cassava, yams, fish and meat – but it bears the stamp of two other peoples as well: the Portuguese who came to conquer and stayed, and the African slaves that they brought with them to work the sugar plantations. Brazilian cuisine today is a seamless amalgam of the three influences that interweave in a unique and totally Brazilian style.

The staples of the Brazilian diet are root vegetables, seafood and meat. Manioc, derived from cassava root, is the ‘flour’ of the region, and is eaten in one form or another at nearly every meal. The bitter cassava root is poisonous in its raw state, but when prepared properly, the cassava root yields farinha and tapioca, bases for many dishes of the region. The Portuguese influence shows in the rich, sweet egg breads that are served at nearly every meal, and in the seafood dishes that blend ‘fruits de mer’ with coconut and other native fruits and vegetables. The national dish, bobo de camarao is one of these, a delicious mingling of fresh shrimp in a puree of dried shrimp, manioc (cassava) meal, coconut milk and nuts, flavored with a palm oil called dende.

It is the African influence that is most felt, though – as is to be expected of the people who worked in the kitchens. Pineapple and coconut milk, shredded coconut and palm hearts worked their way into everyday dishes, flavoring meat, shrimp, fish, vegetables and bread. Brazilian food, unlike the cuisines of many of the surrounding countries, favors the sweet rather than the hot, and more than any other South American cuisine, it carries the savor of tropical island breezes rather than the hot wind of the desert.

The most common ingredients in Brazilian cuisine are cassava, coconut, dende, black beans and rice. Bacalao – salt cod – features in many dishes derived from the Portuguese, but flavored with typical Brazilian insouciance with coconut cream and pistachio nuts it becomes an entirely different food. It is typical of the Brazilian attitude toward food – an expression of a warm and open people to whom feeding and sharing food is the basis of hospitality. Brazilian cuisine is like its people – all are welcome, all are welcomed and all make their mark – without ever overwhelming the contributions of the other.

Victoria Love-Williams asked:


Brazil is a large nation, but all I ever see is the Christ Redeemer Statue, which is actually not very old. Are there any ruins or ancient things in Brazil? What about other historical sites?
