We're Missing the Chile #17: Brasil Edition

Now for more Brasilian doings straight from the little Cp's brain to your eyes.

Sites seen and purchases purchased:
- Capoeira - in the streets. It was cool. The instruments are played in a row called the bateria. The rhythm of the bateria is set by the berimbaus (stringed percussion instruments that look like muscial bows). Other instruments in the bateria are: two pandeiros (tambourines), a reco-reco (rasp), and an agogô (double gong bell). The atabaque (conga-like drum), a common feature in most capoeira baterias, is considered an optional instrument, and is not required for a full bateria in some groups.
-Cuíca - "you know in the samba music that goes squicky-squickey-squickey, it is the instrument that does that"
- bought bikini at Bumbum (hahaha), a fancy bikini boutique.

Fruits tried:
-obvious ones include manga (mango), abacaxi (pineapple), passionfruit ("maracuja" is passionfruit), and guava ("goiba" is really good and it is a common pop flavour)
-dragon fruit (maybe) and possibly guanabana while in Bolivia (check this post for notes on guanabana)
-acai, it's a berry. ya i ate that. it is ok, not great but meh
-acerola, ya i ate that too, but i do not remember what it is, but i remember i liked it
-caju I haven't tried yet (it's where brazil nuts come from), but i have seen them (see photo) and they are cute
- caja is good
- mangaba
-pinha is one of my favouites...it reminds me of an alligator
