Obá, a journey to Mexico and beyond



Located in Jardins, Obá is a delightful respite from the usual Brazilian fare of meat with rice and beans.  Its cuisine is a fusion of several countries and cultures including Mexican, Thai, and Brazilian.  The walls are decorated with Mexican folk art and large travel photos that are changed every so often.  It's the perfect place for a date or a gathering of friends. 

Some menu highlights include: To start out with, try ...

Liberdade: bairro oriental



Aproveite sua visita a São Paulo para conhecer o bairro oriental da Liberdade, que fica bem próximo ao centro. O bairro possui muitas opções de gastronomia japonesa e chinesa e excelentes lojas de presentes.
Minha loja de presentes preferida é a Mini Kimono, que fica na rua Galvão Bueno, 22, e de cosméticos é a Ikesaki, rua Galvão Bueno, 37. Mas há dezenas delas; vale a pena andar e procurar!
Entre os ...

Sao Paulo, the bakery, bar, restaurant and shop.



I love the Padaria, which is the Brazilian bakery combined with bar, cafe, restaurant and shop. One of my favourite things is to go and sit at the bar and eat ‘pão na chapa’, (bread on the grill with butter) drink coffee and a freshly made fruit juice. This is a good breakfast, but later in the day you can get all kinds of hot food, beer, and other beverages ...

Maratona do Sao Paulo



This past Sunday, June 3, marked the 13th annual Sao Paulo Marathon. Jacquiline Jerotich Chebor and Reuben Chepkwek, both Kenyan, were the winners.  I was a little disappointed at the lack of women in the race and I'm hoping to encourage more to join in next year.  The course gives you a nice taste of the city, starting and ending right outside Ibirapuera park at the Obelisk and taking you ...

Take the time to learn the language - Você fala português?



 

If your in or coming to Brazil, why not take the chance to learn the language, I’m sure a few words will go a long way and help you with the time you spend here. The more my Portuguese improves the richer my experiences are in this huge city. There are plenty of schools in Sao Paulo and some of the schools will be able to offer an ...
