Sao Paulo's Booming Population

Immediately upon arriving at the apartment it became clear just how far from home we two Canadians were. The streets are packed tightly with cars and people selling everything from fake Rolex's to pomegranates. One thing in particular that came to our attention, was just how populous and alive the city seems to be. The population here in Sao Paulo is said to be around 19 million people, making it Brazil's and the Southern Hemisphere's largest city, and seventh largest city in the world. After unfolding our city map of Sao Paulo, it became evident to us just how colossal this metropolis is.

Below is a photo of Sao Paulo's extensive underground and LRT transit system. With construction starting in 1968 and now almost 200 subway stops, the "Transporte Metropolitanio" is a prime example of proper and effective transportation in a massive city.

Brazil at last

Sao Paulo at last! After a long and tiresome year of textbooks and classrooms, what better way for two school mates to get some some first-hand, lifelong education, than take a trip to Brazil's largest city, Sao Paulo? For three months at least, until the school year returns, this city will become like one of our old friends, making old memories and new experiences. We're Will and Matt by the way, and welcome to our take on Saint Paul's city.
