Today is our last day in this beautiful costal city but I believe no one wants to leave. After visiting the Maracana Stadium, Vanessa took us to the biggest local market Feira de Sao Cristovao. This market is totally different from the Hippie Fair. Most stuff which sold in Hippie Fair is hand made products with good quality and very unique. And because it near the beach areas, there were many tourists coming around and picked gifts for their trip. This market we visit today looks like serve for the local people in stead of tourists. Things here are much cheaper and the quality is less good than products we bought in Hippie Fair. But it is a good culture experience to see what Rio people come to buy for their daily life.
This afternoon is our last time to enjoy Rio. It is really hard to decide how to spend the last few hours. We six girls find a really cute cafe near Copacabana and enjoy the Brazilian deserts and nice coffee there. Everyone of us is not willing to leave this fantastic city. Anyway, our amazing trip will end in today but our friendship and precious memory will never end.

The last day was really sad, even though we had also spent happy time in the Maracana stadium and the Feira de Sao Cristovao market, the sadness of leaving was always surround us. I really love the market as well, it is different with the Hippie Fair, more local and authentic. Although Vanessa said we might be the only foreigners there, people are welcomed and happy to talk with us. In these days I have been familiar to bargain with people in body language, it is also a kind of unique experience: ) As you said, in this market we got a chance to see the folk life more closely, and that makes me impressive of this visiting. The every moment in the afternoon I feel more reluctant to leave, especially after we having spent such a happy time in the small cafe. When I came back and watch the video we recorded in there, I`m really thankful and glad I have taken this trip. There are so many precious memories, and I have met so many such nice new friends: ) I will keep all the memories in my mind and my following life. Hope we can travel together again and making another happy memory!
