Rio de Janeiro - city of my dreams!
Rio de Janeiro is an amazing city with such diversity: next to beautiful beaches it has mountains, a rainforest, a lake and great inhabitants. The inhabitants (Carioca's is what they are called) are the friendliest people in the world, immer laughing & interested in others. After spending half a year living in Rio, I recently returned for a holiday and still feel the same about "my" city. There is so much happening: a chaos which feels overwhelming at first but which easily turns into home.
Insider Tip:Watching the sunset from Arpoador, dance forro with locals in Lapa, go to the antique market in Lapa/Centro which takes place every 1st saturday of the month, visit the hippie fair in Ipanema (weekly on sundays), eat in a Pizza Rodizio and definitely try the pizza doce (chocolate pizza's as dessert) and try some juice at a kiosk (with fruits of your choice) in combination with a delicious hamburger! There is much more to do, find out for yourself.. just ask around - everyone will be happy to help!
