RE: One Crazy Weekend
Looks like pretty good food. Those are huge tacos! It's rare to find a Mexican place here, so I honestly can't tell you the last time I had any... a few decades ago maybe. Brazilian is quite common though, given the huge number of Brazilians that live here. It's good food, but not quite as good as Mexican (at least in my memory).

That's funny because I heard there are also a large number of Japanese people who live in Brazil. That's quite interesting.
It is due to an interesting episode around the start of the prior century. Brazil started encouraging poor Japanese to immigrate there, promising a better life. Thousands went. Things didn't turn out as planned, with a lot of terrible racism in Brazil, crippling discrimination, and... oh, all those fun things. So Japanese stopped going there after that initial wave, but the ones already there couldn't afford to leave so they stuck around. Then around the late 90s, Japan decided they needed factory workers so they invited the decedents of those Japanese to immigrate back to Japan. Many thousands came back. So as a result, both here and Brazil has many Brazilians with Japanese blood.
