Leaving Philippines again soon
My partner and I are leaving the Philippines soon to move to Brazil permanently. We’re also not moving to the capital, so I already expect it might be harder to find Asian ingredients and products.
For those who lived or visited Brazil before, what things would you recommend bringing from the Philippines that are either expensive, difficult to find, or basically unavailable in Brazil?
I’m thinking beyond just food—maybe skincare, makeup, toiletries, cooking ingredients, medicines, household items, etc.
I’d rather stock up now than arrive in Brazil and realize, “Damn, I should’ve brought that.” 😂
Any tips from people who’ve actually made the move would be appreciated!
