Brazil Part 1: Garibaldi and Porto Alegre

Today I’m going to write about Papai’s country, Brazil. He’s from Rio Grande do Sul, a state in the South of Brazil, close to Argentina and Uruguay. People from Rio Grande do Sul are called Gauchos. They are usually very proud of their land and culture, and are even said to be prouder being Gauchos than being Brazilians. Most of them are descendants of European immigrants from Italy, Germany, Spain and Portugal.

Kranji Countryside

Last week we went to Kranji Countryside. We planned to take the MRT to Kranji, followed by a shuttle bus to the farms, but it was almost lunch time when we finally left our flat, so we took the taxi all the way there.

Our first stop was Bollywood Veggies.
