Brazil fun facts continued....

1. Apparently only in salvador can you run thru red lights between 3am and 6am. Only salvadorians think this applies throughout brazil. People in Rio think that people in Salvador are too relaxed!
2. Kilo restaurants are cool- pay for your meal by weight. (I was in trouble, coz I can eat!!!)
3. I can't get the smell of sewage out from my nose
4. 52 oil rigs off the Brazilian coast, with another 80 odd expected by 2018!!
5. 8 million peeps reside in Rio
6. Over 200 million peeps in Brazil
7. Brazil is super expensive, from food, accommodation, to everything else! A duty free watch, available in the US for 100 bucks, cost 783 Reals- which translates to {drumroll} around $500. Astonishing!
8. To sit in emergency airline seating on TAM, the airfare is higher.
9. We have a domestic flight with a captain called Oogahumarani.
10. Frequent mistake, Rio is not the capital of Brazil, the capital actually is Brasilia.
