[*] About Sao Paulo (taken from fiquemaisumdia.com.br)

  The city is the largest in Brazil and first in South America by
population. Quite \
often Sao Paulo intimidates people because of its size, its constant
pedestrian and \
vehicle traffic, ethnic and cultural multiplicity. Sao Paulo will
surprise you wheter \
you come here on business or for an expo, a congress or a convenion,
stay for at \
least one more day. Let yourself be seduced by the cultural diversity of
this \
many-faceted city which vibrates, dictates fashion, is always
anticipating trends, \
and welcomes Brazilians and foreigners from all over. And oh, do not
forget to have \
fun in South America's wildest night life.
