São Paulo: Another urban jungle

medium_Imagem_018.2.jpg

I liked São Paulo a lot more than I thought I would.  I was imagining lots of slums, pollution, and ugly, functional architecture.  Of course that stuff is there, but there is indeed a swanky side to São Paulo.  And like Rio de Janeiro, and even Singapore, it´s got that urban jungle feel to it.  Walking around the Jardins ("the gardens") neighborhood can feel like hanging out in the nicer parts of Miami or L.A.
