Our Chinatown fun and tasty

Liberdade is the name of a very important oriental neighbourhood. It is our Chinatown. A bit caothic, as they should be :)

Go there by Metro (subway station Liberdade) on Sunday and enjoy an open street fair of crafts and great food! The fair also happens on Saturday, but not as big as the Sunday fair.

Get there before 12:00 or 13:00 not later, or you will find the place too packed with people.

There are many great japanese and chinese shops there.
Food will be cheap. You may also find some japanese equipment, like knives and electric rice pans... but some imported articles are not cheap in Brazil, as they are taxed heavily to incentivate national products. My favorite japanese store is Marukai, at Rua Galvão Bueno 34 check the Map
