🇧🇷 Another Brazilian buffet, I didn't want to be annoying making a video because kinda busy but this one extra interesting because it was at the airport in Viracopos near Sao Paulo It's Azul Airlines' main airport, Azul means blue and is the same founder and CEO as JetBlue in America, his name @davidneeleman He's also interesting because his grandfather was born to Dutch immigrants in Utah! But then he himself was born in Sao Paulo, and lived there until he was 5 years old, then he moved to the US where he founded JetBlue, WestJet and a few more airlines Later he came back to Brazil to start Azul which quickly became the biggest airline here It's similar to JetBlue, it's not luxury but also not cheap, it's comfortable but basic, but with great service etc. Anyway back to the buffet, it's great the airport has a buffet cause it means you can eat healthy which is always a big problem when you're traveling Today I had steak, chicken, eggs, potatoes, some rice and beans and tomatoand cucumber with sparkling water BOM APETITE 🇧🇷
@drochetti Even Brazilians make this mistake Replies under my Brazil buffet tweets are always "omg u should go to churrascaria" even from Brazilians You don't go to a churrascaria every day, it's too much meat!
🇧🇷 New Brazilian buffet tour This one is interesting because it's inside a church Brazil (like South America) is VERY religious, 87% of the population is Christian Compare that to the Netherlands, where I'm from, where it's now just 30%, and similar for large parts of Europe, which is ironic because Christendom of course came from Europe Many things in Brazil and South America are ironic where they are in ways more European than Europe is these days Many churches here like the one in my video at the end are Evangelical, a conservative type of Protestantism. The churches remind me a bit of those TV churces you'd see in the US. Much bigger and more modern than we generally have in Europe Anyway back to the buffet, as always lots of meat and veggies and rice and beans, it can be very healthy if you pick right. And you self-check out by weighing the food and paying per kilogram, very smooth Also free coffee is included! Unfortunately in plastic cups (unacceptable 😂) so we skipped that one but nice My lunch was 788 gram for $13 at $17/kg Every time I post about this I get cancelled by Brazilian for being "a dumb foreigner paying too much" which may be correct as I am starting to realize Curitiba and South Brazil are NOT cheap Then again nowhere is cheap anymore with currency devaluation Apparently the Brazilian government also organizes these buffets cheaper but subsidized by them to help everyone get fed, so it'd be cool to show you that one next time ✌️
It’s been a long time coming, but I’m excited to join @fal as the new Head of Design. I’ve been collaborating with @gorkem and @burkaygur on the fal brand closely over the past few years, so it all made (too) much sense to continue this journey on a more permanent basis (and they could pull me out of FT-retirement). Excited to explore the space of generative media and work alongside the brightest minds. As for the studio, I’ll be still taking on projects under my studio still but on a much much more limited basis. 😌
I don't understand why we need to easily grant citizenship to immigrants, regardless where they are from. Want to get residency here and work here and help the country? Sure, welcome! But why do you need citizenship? Why should it be easy to get an European passport? People work all their life in the UAE, Singapore or many other places without ever getting citizenship there, why is it such a big deal to grant European citizenship
iFood just started allowing signups with non-Brazilian phone numbers. Was that you, @levelsio?
