Fruit juice in Sao Paulo's open market

Every weekend near the Japanese town called Liberdade (Sao Paulo, Brazil), there's an open market called Feira Oriental meaning Oriental Market. They sell toys, accessories, souvenirs but the majority sell Japanese street foods such as fried gyoza, tempura, karepan and so on.

Having decided to quit drinking fizzy soft drinks this year (except for beer, coz beer is not a soft drink ^^) I decided to drink fresh and natural juices after eating fried gyoza (it's always very tempting to drink a can of icy cold coke after eating fried stuffs).

Opposite to lotus cake maker, there are Baianos (ppl who are born in the state of Bahia) who happily sing and shout out the juice orders taken by customers. There were so many fresh tropical fruits like guava, passionfruit, papaya and pineapple. The juice making procedure was very simple, 1. choose the fruit(s); 2. select the base: mineral water or milk or 100% fruit extract? 3. pour into a plastic cup and it's ready to drink.

Sometimes I add a little bit of sweetner or sugar to make it sweet but here I really don't need to do that because the natural sweetness in the fruit was just perfect.
