Day 3 - Sao Paulo & Rio De Janeiro, Brazil (26th Dec 11)


"São Paulo is the largest city in Brazil, the largest city in the southern hemisphere and South America, and the world's seventh largest city by population."

View of the City from Banespa Tower (Free Viewing)

Looks like the HDB flats in Singapore (Public Housing Flats).

Street of Sao Paulo.
The city gave me a retro/80s feeling and a lot of the buildings looks old and are not well-maintained.

The second tallest building in Sao Paulo - 46 Storeys, built in 1965. 
Why ain't they building taller buildings after 1965?



"The Edifício Copan (Copan Building) is a 140-metre, 38-story residential building in São Paulo,Brazil. Construction began in 1957 and, following some interruptions, was completed in 1966. It is one of the largest buildings in Brazil and has the largest floor area of any residential building in the world. The Copan Building has inspired writers, filmmakers, photographers, and other artists from all over the world."

I have to admit that I am not really impressed by the building. By considering that it was built in 1966, it was impressive for that time.


Graffiti. 
How did they do it??

Japan Town in Liberdade
This is the largest Japan Town in the world. There are more than 1 million Japanese Brazilians in Brazil


Japanese Food!


A friend's mother (whom I saw less than a month ago) had passed on. There was a sense of gratefulness and sadness while I was on the bus from Sao Paulo to Rio De Janeiro. 
Really thankful that I'm alive and has the opportunity to travel. 
Always be grateful.
