Day 4 (8 March 2017) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil


Normal routine meeting work, except my talk is today. It went out successfully and our results attracted a lot of attentions. Since we finished early, we went to Urea (Praia Vermelha) which is near to Sugar Loaf mountain. However, we did not go to the mountain. The cable car that goes to the mountain tip costs R76 (~$25). Everybody were so reluctant to go, and we decided to walk around Urea and enjoy the beautiful view. We had dinner at Garota da Urea restaurant, which is located at Urea facing across the SDU airport. We then went to Bofafogo area and have some drinks at Colarinho and Lupulino cafes. It was near to Lupalino cafe in Bofafogo area that I saw a street named after the late freedom fighter and icon, President Nelson Mandela.
