Great food, especially the shrimp which I loved. They also serve very good paella. I did not know where to find this dish here in Rio, and found it by luck while walking down the street. It's very popular with the locals.

Like Germany, Brazil has really good draft beer, and it's hard to compare one with the other. The other day I went to a bar called Devassa in Jardim Botanico (Botanical Gardens) and this was very good beer. It's good enough to please even the pickiest German bud!

Gotta love this place, really. The finger foods are pretty darn good and they've got sandwiches that'll fill you up until you say uncle; but forget all that for now. Let's focus on the beer. This is by far, without a shadow of doubt, the best beer I've ever had in my life.

I don't know what they put in it but even the foam tastes good! You can choose from four types of brewed beer (India, negra, loira, ruiva, which correspond to the following tastes: Indian, black, blond and red, the last one being my personal favourite). We went over to the Devassa branch in the Leblon neighborhood, nice place too. Just drop everything and head out there pronto.

Brazil's answer to draft beer is what they call chopp, which is what I was enjoying until I went to this place called Devassa. I guess they have several of these pubs all over town. Anyway, the chopp down here overall is great, but I never had anything like Devassa before. They have four different types of brewed beers, and they're all worth checking out.

I fell in love with this store at first glance, especially this big piece I saw parked against one of the walls: a huge leopard climbing a log, and I just had to have it. I didn't think I'd be able to buy it, since there was absolutely no chance I could take it back home with me due to its size. Fortunately, upon noticing my interest in the piece, she told me that they shipped internationally if necessary. I went through with it and the piece came through intact. Everyone who sees it in my living room looks at it intrigued and asks about it.
