"The second biggest city in Latin America!!" São Paulo by Shibiru

São Paulo Travel Guide: 846 reviews and 1,742 photos

What?

Yeah, it's an enormous city! I've lived 16 years of my life there. The city has 10Million people living there, while the whole Sao Paulo district, has 20Million. It's a city that you love or you hate. It's sooo big!!!really...you can find food/things from all around the world. It's a difficult city to explain, because you can see extremly poor people in the same region where extremly rich people live...

There's even a region called "liberdade" (=freedom),where most japanese families live. You can buy japanese specialities, handcrafts etc..

Driving one hour you can get to the beach...or to a country city, with horses and plantations.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Diversity
Cons:Too big, caos, crimes...

Nihongo o hanasemasu ka, Shibiru-chan? You might want to use the word "shiitake" so that your Japanese mushrooms don't get censored. I would love to visit Brazil and perform carioca karaoke at Nakombi. Mongolian Tantra sounds good to me too!
