Staybridge Suites Sao Paulo-Century Plaza

Had a horrible flight on United Airlines as everything had a cost. Went to bathroom during the flight and there was someone in the small room changing his clothes. They didn't lock the door so I tried to enter, eeeeek!!! Fat, hairy man naked!!! I returned to my seat without relieving myself. <br>I got to see the Amazon river at sunrise and took pictures. We ...

... But the combination of bringing these three cinematic powerhouses together, and backing them up with talent like Catherine Keener, Tom Hollander and the fantastically versatile Nelsan Ellis (recently of Alan Ball&#8217;s True Blood) has produced a truly majestic result.<br>Foxx stars as Nathaniel Anthony Ayers Jr, a homeless man whose gift for music is matched only by his unending passion for Beethoven. Unfortunately, Ayers&#8217; career as a potential world ...

Sao Paulo is a bit rubbish. That's no huge surprise- even Brazillians of pretty much every other town will tell you that.<br><br>Our travelling went okay. Ferry from ilha grande was fine. And then our bus from Angra to SP was over an hour late in arriving. At that point we were very glad we hadn't gone for an overnight bus with tight connection in SP. But we took the opportunity to sample more local pasties- chicken good, meat okay, cheese ...

... you play here!! We made one more pass through the food and headed home. Stuffed!!!!!<br><br> <br><br>The Immigrant festival was fun. Just Fabiola and I. This festival was held at the immigrant museum. This festival had food from about 20 different countries. We ate Japanese and then a crape from France. The festival was more of a cultural sharing event. Each country had some kind of dance that they did. We saw about 5 countries dance. The best one was from the Ukraine. I ...

With great sadness and a bit of hangover, David and I left Rio de Janeiro they day after the Karnival was finished. As usual, there was a lot of discussion about the route to follow with plenty of different alternatives and means of transportation. In the end, we decided to stop one night in Sao Paulo in our way to the ...

... and we headed to the nearest bar for what would be the first of many many caiprinhas that we would drink. Right after the first caprihna we decided on a second. By the time I arrived at the first bar we were all meeting at, I was sufficiently drunk. I had forgotten the ha ssles of finding my youth hostel and a cab driver driving in circles. But, I rem embered the name of the street thinking that would be sufficient for ...

... the stage decorations had not arrived in Brazil in time which caused the postponement of the opening date for yet another day. But once things finally got under way, the Municipal Theatre immediately, and for many years to come, had become the symbol of São Paulo. On performance days even special trams, upholstered in white, served to carry the refined spectators and to protect their impeccably tailored and starched outfits. Currently, being nearly a century old, the Municipal Theater ...

... nao eh possivel visitar algumas atracoes e museus. Sentih tambem que os precos de tudo estao bem altos, mais ou menos como fazer turismo em Sao Paulo. Comparando com os custos do norte argentino e da Bolivia... Ainda tenho alguns dias de ferias que vou aproveitar para colocar tudo em ordem e dormir um pouco. Nao foi uma viagem relaxante como ir para a praia... mereco umas horinhas de sono! Para minhas proximas ferias, nao sei ...

... in a great condition to do battle with a big city. Instead, we decided to briefly explore Sao Paulo by day and grab another bus out at night which, we figured, would allow us to sample SP without getting too deep in over our heads. Sao Paulo is ostensibly the third largest city in the world, and we can believe it. The city just sprawls - because most of the buildings are under 35 stories, it takes 2 and a half hours just to get out of city limits. It hosts the largest concentration ...
