World Trip DAY 8 - Sao Paulo - 12th february 2010

Niente di speciale all'orizzonte, giornata di relax aspettanto il carnevale a florianopolis. Ci sediamo in una churrascheria brasilera, e non si finisce mai di mangiare. Mi sta venendo il mal di testa a furia di dire no ai camerieri che imperterriti servono carne di tutti i tipi... io continuo a mangiare... e voi?

World Trip DAY 1 - Sao Paulo - 5th february 2010

Here we go. The British airways brought me to Sao Paulo, the crowed city over Brazil. After 12 hours sat on the same place, my ass is finally standing :) The impact is quite impressive: 35 degrees at 7 am. Here it is summer, and I'm not going to waste any ray of sun.

My Brazilian contacts kindly transported me from the airport to their home where i finally realized to be in the country of caipirinha, carnival, sun and mulattas. :) As some of you knows, i don't like wasting time, and that's why we went straight to the city center, by metro/car/bus/train... just kidding. But Sao Paulo is a big city, with a population of 15 million people or more, so they need space to live, i.e. the city is very extended.

First destination: Corinthias' sport center, where Ronaldo 'el gordo' and company were training for a weekly match.
'Lunchinho' in a shopping center where you can see all the thousands of employees running up and down, in their break time, grabbing a quick sandwich. Afternoon worths a visit to the main station, some street and then back home, waiting for Gabrielinha.

Yet, as I'm an active person, and as i need to get used of this 100km-speed-brasilian life, with Thales, Naiana, Gaby, my Paulista-celtics mates, we are going to Santos, a city by the sea looking for sun, fun and relax...
