yah for food a favoured meal of mine was contra-file executivo, i would get like a big piece of steak, two eggs, fries, rice and beans and then strawberry juice with milk like a smoothie plus coffee and that would be $10 (50 brl) pretty much anywhere in sao paulo. or you can get a smaller version (commercial) for less money.
they’re big on chicken parm. not much of a breakfast culture though which is a bit of a shame. brazilians just like a bit of coffee and maybe a meat pastry in the morning.
they also have these fun buffet places, except it’s not all you can eat, you pay per 100 grams. which is really a smart way of not encouraging over eating but still allowing you to pick and choose whatever you want to eat.
well legally you can only stay for like 3 months unless you get a visa. the way to do it is just bounce around between different south american countries every three months. 6 if u hit up peru.
