Rua Maranhao 371, (Formerly Melia Confort Higienopolis) Sao Paulo, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, 11-3665-8200
We started our honeymoon #22 to Brazil on this sunny and cold Thursday. We were scheduled to go to Sao Paulo (SP) and Rio De Janeiro (RJ) for a well-deserved holiday. Brazil, especially Rio, was a place which I always wanted to visit and this time there was a special reason too. One of my closest friends from the MBA, Stacey Tomasoni, had recently moved to Sao Paulo and this trip gave us a great opportunity to catch-up with her. Raakhee too knew Stacey and her charming husband Marcello, who h...
Sao, Brazil omkarToday we had a late morning. We had planned to start the day at 12 so we woke up at a leisurely 10am. Quite unlike my usual 'rigorous holiday' schedule as Raakhee would call it, SP didn't have as many sights to see around so it didn't make sense to start too early anyways. We had breakfast at our hotel which was very good with a selection of hot food, pastries and fruits. The fruit area was the most exciting one with watermelons, papaya and mangoes amongst the ranks. Brazil enjoys tropical cl...
Sao Paulo, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil omkarToday morning was another late start to our day. After a late wake-up and breakfast, we had planned to meet Stacey and Marcelo at 12. Today our plan to go for a swim was thwarted by morning rain. Although light, it meant that the water was sufficiently cooler to not enter the pool. So after breakfast we unanimously decided to go back to bed :) Again today, our plan was to meet at the hotel lobby at 12, another late start initiated by Raakhee on the earlier day. Our plan today was to do shoppi...

I wasn´t sure whether or not to come here, I had a vision of it being a dirty rotten city, and very unsafe. However, I am very glad I visited, it seems I had some misconceptions.
There isn´t bundles to see as far as sightseeing goes, but there is still good stuff to see.
Only stayed here 2 nights so did~´t have much time.
I stayed in the Jardim area (near Av Paulista) on the recommendation of our travel guide ...
... suffers from a lot of pollution, is quite run down, but is the typical spot people use as a base to see the rainforest.
Daniel, the guy who met us at the airport, insisted we had a look at the Manaus opera house at least, so thats what we did in the morning before our flight. Its quite nice, but doesn't really redeem Manaus as a worthwhile place to visit apart from as a good base for jungle trekking! We then set off with our bags, in the stifling mid day heat upwards of 35 ...
... quantities of food- then that’s their success. If the CEO of Red Cross knows big business- then that’s their success. And if the shoe fixer is THE SHOE FIXER, then what’s stopping his success an povert areas? Use what you got, use it well, use what God gave you, and yes and ludacris would say… “Shake what your momma gave ya.”
Always strive to do what you can and reach for great heights, even when you can’t see them.
... contains the largest Japanese population outside of Japan. Most of these Japanese Brasilians have been in Brasil for so many generations that they now only speak Portugese!
However, despite all the riches of the city, the massive influx of lower-skilled migrants who do not partake in the wealth pie suffer miserably in the many favelas (poor neighborhoods) of the city and add considerably the significant level of violent crime in Sao ...
Day 18 - Flight back to Sao Paulo over the 'Meeting of the Waters' and the Amazon Jungle! Jose kindly gave us a free lift back to the airport, such a lovely guy, then this time the flight for me wasn't too bad and it was incredible to fly over the meeting of the waters from such a height and see the many twists and turns in the many jungle rivers as we flew over the Amazon. We will be back for sure!! Once in ...
