Coffee on wheels

When one moves to another country, one never thinks about all those conveniences you thought you wouldn't notice had gone missing. One of my great losses was the coffee shop. Every morning I would get a Coconut Latte on my way to a 9 AM class, drinking through my lecture or teaching between sips. Even, gasp, sneaking in sips between on air breaks while DJing at The Impact. In Sampa, I am told, there is a great pleathura (did I spell that right?) of all things American, including our college town study houses, but here in Hickville Bahia, we are not so advanced. But hey, we can still get coffee just about anywhere, even without the Starbucks on every corner. Our coffee, and I mean coffee - not latte, can be found on these interesting rolling apparatuses in caraffs of all shapes. Sold in little plastic shot glasses (think Jell-o shots), you can get it in both black and with milk. These guys are all over, and their coffee carrying shops are usually on wheels. You can't see so well because this picture was taken in a moving vehicle, but there is a steering wheel in his right hand that he uses to steere the coffee "truck" around (this would be why he's on the street, since the side walks weren't really built for things with small wheels). In fact, often times you will see these things actually painted and built as miniature semi-trucks carrying coffee, and usually a radio. This guy is like a middle - class style, not so fancy. Hooray for the fillers of the "need a shot of EX-presso" urge.
