In the previous episode of "Hacktrip: Rio de Janeiro",
César makes it to Brazil and finds out about
possible attacks over Macs' Airdrop. We also visited the Botafogo beach,
where he tries the delicious Açai drink for the first time.
Liz: "We're gonna explore."
César: "Yeah, vlog inception!"
Liz: "I'm getting into his vlog."
We've just arrived to the second floor and stumbled upon a bookstore.
Look, it's the one behind me.
Right now we came here to take some pictures
and this area has some really cool spaces.
Look, for example, at this one.
They've got some machinery.
This is the "Museo do chocolate".
The chocolate museum.
This place is really awesome;
a few moments ago we got scared.
Well, actually she got scared.
You're not gonna believe this, something really amazing happened.
The truth is I don't understand why this is happening.
I was walking here and out of nowhere the lights started blinking.
I told you, see!? They turn on their own!
There's something strange in this place.
"Terrace access".
Seems like that's what it means.
Let's take a look. I'm actually a little worried now
because Liz is missing, I dunno where she is...
She's not there, lesse... Let's have a look...
Terrace, terrace! [Sign: Terrace]
Okay, but what are you doing here? [Background indistinguishable screaming]
I'm still looking for Liz, can't find her, and
truth is, I'm getting tired.
I'm a little worried because I think this place is really haunted.
What's that over there?
What's that?
I think she's here.
Let's see...
Found her, yeah! We found her, she was here, worried. Liz: "Where were you?"
What do you mean "Where were you"?
Liz: "I haven't seen you since a while ago."
César: Well, I'm here now.
Well, we're leaving. We just gotta get on the elevator.
Over here we have the chocolate factory
and right here there's a hidden door
where we have the information about
Roberta Cani, Marcia de Almeida and Cadu Lacerda.
And we stumbled upon no one else but Cadu
who is an artist that crafts many paintings,
and in this space shows us some of their work.
Right now, on that area we were gifted
a cool little detail. We got this little hypnotizer.
So now we carry a pretty souvenir from Brazil!
The next day...
We just travelled from Botafogo to Copacabana
and this is the place we're staying at.
Just look at this beautiful view of Copacabana
it's full of apartments over here,
but the most incredible thing is over there,
the beach is just a few meters away.
Today we're here with some Brazilian friends
that will have us try some Brazilian meal
that they brought with them; it's gonna get super interesting
They're new flavors, it's really cool because the food was made by locals
We're going to eat delicious things right now. Liz: "Mmm, super yummy!"
She's not stopping! She keeps eating mexican candy!
She liked them. Look, over here as well!
She liked them, very good!
A while ago we were doing
a mexican candy challenge, you should visit the
"Yo soy Crafty Liz" channel to see our brazilian friends' reactions
about these mexican candies.
Liz: "One would think that because we're on the same continent
and have similar cultures
we'd all be accustomed to eating spicy things
but we've realized that's not the case."
We went out for a bit.
Well, after a day full of collabs and work
we just got a chance to come to the Copacabana beach
and since we got some artificial lights we can enjoy the beach a little.
We came across a place where they sell
some sort of tapioca crepes
and we're gonna try them out.
We ordered one that seems to be made from "frango",
dunno what that is,
but let's find out what it is and what does it taste like
it's the most sold and most reccomended here.
Inside it has what is called "frenjo" or "frengo, frango"
I dunno which is it... Liz: "Frango."
It's like taffy, definitely tastes like it.
A bit like chicken...
Smells like pizza...
But it doesn't taste like pizza!
Definitely something new.
We did it, we reached the beautiful beach of Ipanema
we're walking along the beach looking around a bit.
And I had heard a bit about the thongs
and that sort of stuff, but I'm more interested in this
that I've found, over here.
Eh... Mmm, I dunno what to think.
That's really crazy.
At about 15 minutes from Ipanema there's a lagoon
so we decided to come see it.
You can do it, lady, you're almost here! Yeah, lady!
Go ahead, spring up your step!
Yeah yeah yeah!
Don't stop, you almost made it, run run run!
Here she comes, almost...
She made it.
So it seems this is our Uber cab...
The cab is here to pick us up and Liz had the wonderful
idea of staying on the street instead of crossing with us.
She didn't cross. But anyway she's waiting for the light
to come with us. She's that cute little thing
that can be seen crossing.
Liz, hurry up, the Uber's waiting...
We're going to see the "Christ the Redeemer",
the night is about to fall, at 5:30 the sun sets in here
so we want to hurry up because it's 4:30
and we want to see the Christ with sunlight,
and from there we'll go have dinner.
Let's go already! Liz: "I thought you were leaving me!"
César: "No, not at all."
César: "She made it, at last she got here."
César: "She was crossing a main street."
We weren't sure the cab was waiting for us already.
This tunnel is immense.
We've been in it for 5 minutes more or less.
Nah, 2 minutes or so.
We've been in it for three days.
We're out.
We got out of that tunnel to enter another one -- or not.
I guess not after all.
Let's go up, instead.
We were trying to get to Christ the Redeemer
but it seems it's far away and it's dangerous to go on car
so we're getting off to catch a train that goes there.
It'll be safer that way. A moment ago we stopped
to check the GPS on the car
and someone threw rocks at us, that's kinda weird.
That's why we'll attempt to get there on train.
Truly, we were a bit scared while on the Uber
the driver took a longer route, I'd like to think
he didn't do it with malice and he didn't know he couldn't
go so far up with the car.
I was asking Liz: "Why are there train tracks?"
And we just realized why.
We arrived at this place full of flags
and we have to wait until 5 PM
I hope I get to see the sunset.
I bought a cheese empanada
right now to eat while we wait. I'm actually starving.
We've made a new friend, that guy behind us.
He's a new friend, he's gonna be part of the vlog,
for the remainder of it.
Liz: "There's another one too." César: "That's not true!"
Nah, what I wanted to tell you is the cost of getting
on this train to get to the Christ, it was 70 reals more or less.
Liz: "It was 145." César: Because it was... 145 between for the two of us.
So it was, yeah, like 72.5 reals for each of us.
If you come to Brazil get on this natty train, this one.
We're here and we're just getting a bit of sunlight,
it's getting dark here, the sun sets at 5:30.
But, it seems we'll be able to see the Christ
and the city as well from this height.
There's like a series of stores on the stops,
food stands and the like so you can enjoy the view.
It's tiring, there's lots and lots of steps.
Go figure, I like to carry a lot of stuff.
No, take a look at this view....
We can see the Christ from here,
we're at just a few steps before we get to the top.
There's a lot of people taking pictures while lying down
as you can tell.
Really, at the minimum I think it's bad,
I think I'll do the same thing in a few moments.
I really cannot express how incredible this Christ is,
pictures and videos will never compare to the real thing.
Because not only the Christ is amazing but also
the beautiful view you'll get.
Well, we're leaving, we're done looking around here,
visiting the Christ. Now we'll go have dinner.
We're heading back on the train,
some people behind us are waving.
We're on the train, heading back, and we're really hungry,
sleepy as well, just look at Liz, poor girl.
Looks like she's never slept, on the whole planet.
But anyway, we're on our way to have dinner,
we're starving, aren't we? Liz: "We are starving."
César: "But anyway--" Liz: "You can't see anything outside, it's all dark,
Liz: it's like a scene from a horror movie." César: "That's right."
The little train just stopped and as you can see it's
absolutely dark.
There's our friends, hiding.
But anyway, we're heading back.
We've arrived at "Fogo de Chão".
Whoa, this place looks really neat.
A bit sophisticated.
I had to take some things from the bar that caught my attention,
Chicharrón (fried pork crackling), fried onions,
some chicken salad, salami, pepperoni or something like that,
I don't know what this is but we'll try it in a bit.
They cheat at these places.
A while ago I was brought a "sword" full of cuts
super big.
I don't know what it was but they brought the whole piece
so I've had some problems finishing it but,
I'm getting there, let's try something else.
César: "How is it?"
Liz: "Delicious!"
I don't know what I'm eating,
but it's delicious.
All of it. Everything is delicious.
We were brought some "Vacío".
César: "Just look at it, how it's being cut. Liz: "Grab it with your tongs!"
César: "All done!"
César: It's a piece of "vacío" meat, just look at its color.
Oh my god, just look at this.
The meat is really something, super soft, and yes,
I think so, Brazil, you were right. You have really delicious meat.
These are the famous "caipirinhas".
Cheers!
That vacío was incredible but truth is, it is winning.
Liz: "Tell them the caipirinha got to your head already!" César: "No, not at all!"
And well, this is our bill.
Liz: "It's 341, but they're suggesting a 44.33 tip, so it's 385.33."
César: So that, with the exchange rate, comes to about $1,900 MXN
approximately some $50 USD, 70 ($121 USD) more or less.
And well, that's today's bill.
But it was worth it.
You really must come to this place,
It's incredible, service is spectacular, food is delicious,
It's definitely worth it.
Today's a new day, and we have big plans,
but before that I want to show you
a little about Brazil's banknotes.
First, we have this bill, worth 2 reales.
The 2 Reales bill, well, you won't be using it much
in Brazil but you can use it to, for example, buy a corncob
on the street, or things sold in the streets.
The interesting thing being that on these notes,
there's always this face, and on the other side there's an animal.
For example, in this case we've got a sea turtle.
That's the 2 Reales note;
the way to change this and all notes to mexican pesos
would be multiplying by five.
For example, 2 Reales multiplied by five equals 10 pesos.
More or less that's their value in mexican pesos.
And afterwards we have the 5 reals bill.
This one equals about $25 MXN, approximately.
Like before, we have this character's face, I don't know who it is,
and now we don't get a turtle, we have a crane.
It's over here.
And, with this, you can buy a little more on the streets,
you can buy something like, for example, some tapioca con frango,
which is tapioca with chicken.
I showed you it's something akin to a quesadilla,
a really weird thing that is sold over here, it's really good.
And after that we have the 10 reals note.
You can use it for public transport tickets, it's enough to pay for that,
Public transport costs around 7 reals,
so with a bill like this we can afford it without problems.
It'd be equal to about $50 MXN, approximately.
And here we have the same face,
and then we have a red macaw, over here.
Lastly, we have the 50 reals note.
Like the others, as I said there's this character here,
and of course it must have
a more epic character, a cooler animal,
it has a jaguar.
And with this bill you can do a lot of things, it equals
$250 MXN ($16USD),
and this is the bill I've been using more in particular,
and well, these are the banknotes.
Now let's...
Sugar loaf, that's its name, right? Liz: "Yeah."
To be continued.
