Porto Alegre for Travellers

What’s on and what’s going on.

  • Get ye to freaking Porto Alegre, it's where absolutely everything in the world goes on, like uh...the World Social Forum, and uhm, yes, other great stuff. Rio de Janeiro has its Christ the Redemer, Sugar Loaf Mountain, and wonderful beaches (NOT!) BUT, go there and you'll get KILLED! In PoA you'll just get robbed at gun point.

BEER

Posted by apfear on January 4, 2007

Given unlimited funds, buy: GUINNESS in cans from the supermarket.

Given limited funds, buy: Heineken, Bavaria Premium or Polar. Bottles only.

AVOYYYD : Antartica, Brahma, Kaiser, Schincariol. In all forms. Do not be fooled by the advertizing of beautiful girls in bikinis, these beers taste like the piss of someone who has had a lifetime diet of cabbages.

Cold beer

Posted by apfear on January 4, 2007

Last Friday was my last chance to stock up at the supermercado beers for the weekend and New Year’s celebrations.  I loath BIG Shop, having no dosh however I had to resort to BIG because they were kind enough to give me a free credit card.

I bought 48 “long necks”, dammed if I didn’t have them drunk by Sunday afternoon. The Traveller should avoid at all costs BIG Shop.  Instead, go to the place with the little red squirrel, it’s a little more expensive but the service is quite a lot better.

Last July I was perusing the liquid goods on the shelves of my local supermerc, when an old lady asked (obviously recognising beerophile)”Which beer do we have to drink in the Winter, Kaiser Gold?”, “No that would be Kaiser Bock dear.”, I mean what the hell, drink any freaking beer in the Winter.  Just because the TV tells you to drink BOCK, do you HAVE to drink Bock?
