July 15-18: São Paulo

São Paulo, originally uploaded by Andrew & Yvette's world travel.

Did you know that Sao Paolo is the helipad capital of the world? Every major person here travels via helicopter! Isn’t that crazy. There’s a mall here, Daslu, and Lonely Planet says it’s forbidden to get there by walking and arriving by taxi is a major embarrassment. The proper way to arrive is through a helicopter!

So obviously we’re no longer spending $1 for 20 minute taxi rides and gone is our $15/day allowance for eating. Sao Paolo is crazy expensive. So for tours, we did none. We just walked around the city. Actually the most exciting thing we did was watch Transformers! Yeay!

As you can see, our pit stops through Brazil were city breaks. Even though Brazil is famous for the Amazon Rain Forest, we decided to do that kind of tour on a different time as it’s a tour that requires trekking for a minimum of 2 weeks for maximum appreciation.

And oh, before I start blogging about Argentina, yeah, of course we made it to Daslu = )
