On Saturday Hugo and I went to Liberdade, the japanese quarter here in SP; we have bought sushi in a shop which is full of things that you "dont know how to eat" (all from Japan, Asia...) and after we headed for Museum of Japanese Immigration to broaden our knowledge a bit:) so what have we learned? Brazil celebrates 100 years of Japanese immigration; 1st immigrants stepped on the brazilian soil in 1908; in total, 200 thousand Japanese came to Brazil; the main reason was the boom of coffee production, labourers were needed and so they were "imported" from Japan (a nation known for its discipline and for being hard working); the trip took 45 days by a ship (thru panama); the Japanese worked on the coffee farms and as soon as they managed to save up, they were buying their own land. by bringing their knowledge and customs, they made brazilian culture richer.
