Sao Paulo

Interesting facts...



- Sao Paulo is known to have more cars with bullet proof windows than any other city in the world.

- Restaurants in Sao Paulo are surprisingly expensive.

- Despite being the third largest city in the world, the majority of people I encountered did not speak any English.

- Sao Paulo is home to the largest Japanese community outside of Japan.

- Frosted Flakes taste even better than normal after not eating them a long time (or any cereal for that matter).

- It is common in Brazilian weddings for the bride to be fashionably late (like 30 minutes).

- It is impossible to fall asleep standing up. Your knees will buckle and make you fall into the person in front of you.

  1. You must really miss your Special K cereal.

    I know you can fall asleep anywhere, but did you really fall asleep standing up?

  2. Gosh, words can't describe how much I miss cereal. That is the first thing I am eating when I return home.

    And yes, during the bus ride to the airport. It was a long day...
