Exploring Culture

I have embarked upon exploring culture by doing what I can from my laptop. My father is Brasilian and I visited Brasil when I was 5. I remember a lot of when I went to the city of Rio de Janeiro. I remember the beaches and the water, all of the little coconut popsicle stands that were everywhere, and I remember Guarana. It is a soda like sprite, but it is flavored with guayana which is a fruit local to Brasil. Since then, I have partaken in Mexican culture when I lived with a Mexican couple while I was in the Army. I also do a lot of reading from different countries. I especially like looking at cuisine and food. I have watched numerous videos on YouTube that follow very high rated chefs in all parts of the world. I focus mainly on Spanish speaking countries and Japanese food.
