In the largest city of the Southern Hemisphere

Boa tarde!
Here Im writing again, this time in São Paulo, the largest city in Brazil and with the 15 million people living here its the largest city of the southern hemisphere. At the station in Rio de Janeiro we could hire a bathroom to take a shower, it was wonderful to feel fresh again. At midnight we took the bus, it was better standard with filts and pillows, one guaraná and some cookies to eat. I slept all the six hours the trip was and woke up before six o clock of morning when we arrived in the station of São Paulo. We didnt realize we were there until the driver told us the trip was over, the time went so fast. We waited in the station till the sunrise, then we took the metro to the downtown. If you only visit São Paulo here, you could think that Brazil is a developed country, or how to say, according to what I have seen this far it seems to ahve a very high standard, big avenues and big walking streets beside. The metro is bigger and have more lines. The São Paulo is much different from the other brazilian cities I have been in, its a bit colder in the air, and so are the people, they prefere to avoid each other, in the metro for exemple I could see all people looked out into nothing avoiding each other, as in London, compared to Rio de Janeiro and Recife were they can talk and look at each other. We visited a beautiful park with alot of trees giving alot of shadow, but also many big spiders in the trees. We visited the MASP, a museum, we were outside it were they had commercial about the new film of "Narnia", we could play chess there. Much later we called Gracielle, she should meet us two o´clock, so we walked around and waited for her.
We met her two o´clock told about the document we must fix, then we went to were her friend Laurén worked and asked if she wanted to sign too, we needed two people. Laurén accepted it. We ate açai were Gracielle worked and headed to this expencive cyber for 4 reais each hour. This was all this far, and Im ready to explore São Paulo!
