Book: "How to Be A Carioca"

How to be a Carioca

I just picked this one up at the suggestion of a few of my classmates at the Portuguese school I'm attending.  It seems like the guide I wish I'd found before moving here!  Everything from beach etiquette to definitions which will make arrival in Rio go more smoothly. Cute with funny illustrations.  I found it to be a bit critical of the food in Rio though - there are some amazing restaurants here. (I really need to update that section of the site I am falling desperately behind!)
