2010
09.03

dolivinoD’olivino is a must go restaurant in São Paulo. Since its owner is a wine importer, they have been able to sell great wine at the restaurant with incredible prices. The ambiance is very friendly and they have some personnel who speak English.

The food served is meditarranean, which is very tasty and makes my mouth water.

Oops I almost forgot the best part, in the entrance there is a table where you can try different types of olive oil from all over the world and sometimes the person who is in charge of explaining is the owner.

I was surfing on the web today when I found a very interesting paper called Rio Times.  They have got all kind of information you might need to know while staying in Rio. Following the same model as New York Times, Rio Times is an amazing tool for anyone who is visiting the city but doesn’t speak Brazilian Portuguese.

Shoe Shiner that speaks over 5 languages

shoeshiner

The other day I was looking for someone to shine my shoes when I came across this shoeshiner in Paulista Avenue and Brigadeiro Luis Antonio. He is a very interesting person and what had called my attention about his services was that he speaks over 5 languages which he claims he learned with some foreigners from different nationalities that share a house with him.

Even his tools are not luxurious, tries to provide you the best services and spoil clients by offering stuff like candies, newspapers or magazines to read while you have your shoes been polished.
