Me and my friends went to Rio two weeks ago and we just loved the city! Nightlife is just simply amazing! There’s tons to do there! And of course, as we loooove Chinese food, we found out about a place called Benkei, that serves all types of Asian food.

It was quite far from where we stayed in, but it was worth it! Really good food!

Last week I got back from my trip to Rio and I must say, it’s just a beautiful place to go! I really enjoyed my stay there, especially because of the great beaches, amazing people - all good!

I went to many good restaurants there, but one in particular caught my attention, called Azul Marinho. It’s a beautiful seafood place, in front of Arpoador (great view!) and the food is just awesome! I really enjoyed the moquecas, a very interesting Brazilian food!

I can't believe I actually went through with this but now that it's over with, I feel like I've accomplished something great. Yes, I did go hang gliding in Rio, and yes, it should be on your list of things to do (if you're into adrenaline pumping through your bloodstream, anyway).

At first I was a bit apprehensive, but as you're flying high through the sky overlooking the coastline, it becomes very apparent why this is an activity that is sought by many tourists from all over the world. Plus, its easy to schedule and the price is affordable.

My wife went berserk in this little store at Laranjeiras called Pe de Boi. We ended up buying a few of their items to take home with us.

People keep asking where we bought this stuff and how to get it. Well, Rio, Brazil, that's where!

I really enjoyed this Mexican joint over in Leblon. The food's great and cheap, especially on weekends where they have an all-you-can-eat buffet with a wide variety of goodies.

I didn't run into any other Mexican restaurants around Rio (and trust me, I looked), so I imagine this is the one to go to. You'd better skip breakfast if you plan on spending an afternoon here!

Some of the best Japanese food I've ever eaten is in Rio, and this place doesn't fall behind those standards. It actually raises the bar.

I went in for a buffet and stuffed myself silly. In fact, so silly that I wasn't hungry for a good eight hours later or so. If you're into Japanese, this place is worth the trip.

The menu is totally diverse, with original options, and great ambience and decoration. The staff are all very nice, and the thing that amazed me the most, despite coming straight from the beach, with beachwear, flip flops and sand on my feet, they said there was no problem at all!
