Entertainment junkies (like myself) will
find a lot to love in Brazil. Not only is this country the birthplace of
unique musical genres like bossa nova and samba, but Brazilian cinema and
television are also currently on the rise.
By living in São Paulo for three months, I
was fortunate enough to get to sample all different types of Brazilian
entertainment – many of which reminded me I wasn’t in America anymore.
My observations below:
Movies
It’s not very hard to find a movie theater
in São Paulo. Every shopping mall has its own theater, and there's a shopping
mall on every corner (which is only a slight exaggeration). The theaters
are state-of-the-art, complete with stadium seating, high-definition projectors
and moveable armrests (so that couples can partake in Brazil’s favorite
pastime: making-out).
