Bienvenido!

Hola everyone,

After nearly 1.5 years, I`m back on the road again. This time it`s South America that I`ll try to explore.

SAO PAULO
After a very long flight (17hr), I arrived at Sao Paulo in the evening. Found my recently opened hostel and put myself into my bed just after taking a shower.

The next day, after arranging my bus ticket to Foz de Iguacu (the border town of Brazil near Iguazu Falls) walked for a while along the streets of the city. Mu bus was departing at 4 pm, so didn`t have much time. Mainly Centro and Praca da Republica were the regions I walked at; with their colonial architecture and tropical parks I enjoyed it. Saying that I faced with lots of poor people around the place and they make you feel that it would not be very safe to be there late at night. In Sao Paulo, sometimes there`s only a road between the poorest and richest areas and nearly every building I saw had a security guard with barbed wires or broken glasses on their walls. Even the hostel I stayed in haven`t put a signboard outside of it for safety reasons.

Sao Paulo is said to be the capital of business, and as a city not charming it`s. Sure you may find lots of places for good dining and nightclubs for partying (It`s said to have), but I don`t think these are just specific to Sao Paulo. So if you`re not looking for a transport hub on the way to Iguazu Falls like I do, you may skip this city.
