Brazil
A great option in Sao Paulo if you want to meet new friends, have excellent appetisers and hamburgers, and play snooker while enjoying live music is the Canucks, located in the Vila Olimpia region. It is a fantastic place and English is spoken (www.canuckspub.com).

São Paulo is a city of immigrants. Suba (aka Mitar Subotic) was born in Yugoslavia, moved to Brazil and created this hypnotic album as a tribute to his adopted city. In 1999, a fire destroyed his studio. Suba escaped, but realised that he had left the master of his new album inside. He ran back to rescue it from the flames, and never emerged.
