Açai

Açai (pronounced "ass-eye-EE") is one of the coolest foods you will
ever find anywhere. Yesterday I ate it as a cold thin soup with ice,
then with a crunchy carb made from roots, and then as ice cream.
There's also a really sweet milkshake form with chopped up nuts and
guarana.

It has a very cool deep purple color.

So amazing. I could eat the ice cream every day. Everybody should
go to the Brazilian bakery on Lincoln Street (right near Forbes) and
see if they have it.

If they don't have it, ask if they can get it! And more generally,
see if you can get Brazilian ice cream in Worcester. It's so cool!

I miss Trinidad so much

That lonely point in the trip where I desperately google for local karaoke

I hope I get here someday soon.  It is far though.

Phone with FM radio

I have a phone with an FM radio and it is the raddest shit. I listen
to funny brazil radio all the time when walking around. The only
downside is I will be sadder if it's stolen.

Brazilian word games

1) The word "comer" in Brazilian Portuguese means both "to eat" and
"to fuck". So there's a joke, "As duas coisas melhor na vida sao
comer" which translates (literally, radio-editly) as "The two best
things in life are eating".

2) The word "pasta" means "crack" (as in cocaine).

3) There was a Brazilian folk hero who, when under attack by an
invading army, yelled "O Mata o Moro!" to his followers, which
translates roughly as "kill or be killed!". However, it also
translates as "Either the forest or the hills!" and some say that as
he waved his sword in the air he indicated each respective exit.

4) There is a Brazilian verb that means "to lick all over and cover
with saliva", and not in an eew way. I just forget what it is.

Brazilian tough kids fly kites

And they look so badass doing it. This needs to be in a hip hop video.
