Sao Paulo
In Sao Paulo arrived i had first of all bad luck with the weather. From time to time it was raining but not really heavy. The whole week in sp I spent at a couch surfing place. As i haven't surfed so much couches so far i was quite shy. Since the beginning Lucas said "feel at home". He was so relaxed and nice to me that i was believing to be at home together with him and his sister. I especially remember a chat about life,emotions and behaviour to our self. His mom died. She was working really hard before she got told to die. After that time she still understood to relax and to enjoy life before she died. Unfortunately my father did got that chance before he died. Actually we had the same story to tell :-). Lucas shown me the differences to people from south america and Europe. He said we don't understand to life in the present and actually for me that's 100% the case. I always wants to think about the next steps while i forgot to enjoy the moment. My go al for this year to change this!!!!
SP is really expensive place but this is for you guys nothing new. In Brazil you are often paying your food per kilo which is really really bad for me as i always eating abnormal portions. My friends from my previous company knows what i mean :-).
I was leaving in Paulista district which is actually really beautiful and one of the best area to stay. Paulista is close to Augusta street where you will find a lot of nice clubs like >>>clash
During the day i went to MASP gallery(brazil's best arts gallery) for free or was walking to the old city. Ok ok i didn't went the whole way by foot i took the subway as i like it to use public transportation. Sė and Lux subway station are nice to visit. At Praça da Sé you will find a cathedral (new gothic). While drinking some Sucos de Maracujá everthing is easy going. At Mercado Municipal don't buy you much fruits as they are really expensive there. Just taste some fruits and buy small things :-). A must for all Sp travellers is Parque Ibirapuera. I went there for almost one day(see pictures).
If you heading one time into paulista ave remember to eat your dinner insight the building on the opposite site from masp. There you can have buffet with no kilo limit for 9.9 BRL.
In Sp i joined a cs meeting? With 180 people in a small place it was really crowded. After that meeting we went to an rock party where i lost my german sim card. Don't know how :-). Please don't send sms to those number anymore. Will publish quite soon a new german number :-).
Thais thank you to taken me to the free samba concert and deliciouse bakery. Yummy the cake was nice. I hope to have one time the chance to show you my place whereever i will end up. Since Sp i started to eat cakes let see if it will helps me to become fet. Your tip about the free instrumental samba was just awesome. It was funny as i thought to go there alone but as i couldn't find the place i ask someone for the way. So i met Eric which went together with me to those place. Thanks for the hotdog man hope to see you one time in germany or wherever in the world.
As i stayed in Sp during a weekend i had the chance to enjoy the nightlife. Thanks Frix for the nice party. You knows how to make party. Even without to speak portugese i found a way to communicate with an lady from sp.
Before i left SP to Ihla Grande island i met Cathi a former schoolmate. She is working for Lufthansa as a flight assistant. Crazy how small the world can be. Just due to a Face msg i recognized that she is in SP. Thanks for the great afternoon and the long chat we had.
