A drink and some sultry Brazilian dancing

The Beijing Olympic Games have brought in not just athletes from the world over, it has also given organisations a chance to showcase their native cultures in the Olympic city.

Visitors can 'trot' from Brazil to Russia to the United States to Japan and many other places, while staying on in Beijing this fortnight.

Brazil House is one place where Brazilian drum music and video-screens displaying their athletes are attracting people. It is situated at the Jianguo Garden Hotel in Beijing and showcases stunning images, performances and artefacts from Brazil - in particular from Rio de Janeiro, a candidate city for the 2016 Olympic Games.

A drink and an evening performance of sultry Brazilian dancing with nimble dancers is a nice way to chill out.
