A Cozinha - The Kitchen

The kitchen sink only has a cold water tap - no hot water! I find it really strange and am always boiling water to do the dishes.

I have pots and pans of water boiling at any one time on the stove - they don't use electric kettles here either!! We will have to bring one back from the UK or US our next trip.

It's also not common to have toasters - we haven't been able to find one in the shops we've been to yet but will keep looking.

  2. carrefour! there are toasters (real toasters) at carrefour and i'm not talking about the sad-excuse-for-a-toaster-george foreman either. but i think they were about 60 reais or something. so toaster is easy, but now try to find an ice cream maker :P
