Avenida Paulista - A mais famosa avenida de Sao Paulo. Comeca no Paraiso e acaba na Consolacao.. haha
Paulista Avenue - the most famous avenue in Sao Paulo. "Paulista" actually means "a person born in Sao Paulo". There is also a joke in Portuguese because this famous avenue starts at a district called "Paradise" and it ends on a street called "Consolation"

Algumas coisas nao foram traduzidas como deveriam ter sido. Me pergunto se eles nao tinham uma pessoa pra verificar se estava correto. Essa plaquinha esta pendurada na parede do shopping center mais caro de Sao Paulo, onde nao se encontram lojas populares ou "comuns". La so tem loja da Prada, Gucci, Armani, Dolce Gabana etc.. Em Portugues escreve-se: "Permitido o acesso de animais domesticos", mas quando traduziram pro ingles, virou "Acesso so para animais domesticos"
Some things get lost in translation. Sometimes I wonder if they don't have a second person checking those things. I found this sign posted at the entrace of the most expensive mall in Sao Paulo (where the only stores you will find are Prada, Gucci, Dolce Gabana etc) - in Portuguese it says "Pets ARE allowed"... but in english, ONLY pets are allowed.

Perdida em Sao Paulo - Google Mapa nao funciona tao bem assim em Sao Paulo. Ou entao eles mudaram o sentido de algumas ruas desde que o mapa foi publicado. Ainda bem que a minha mae guarda uma caixinha da Barbie dentro do carro dela (caixinha da Barbie porque e rosa). A caixinha tem de tudo: lanterna, ferramentas e um guia! Na foto a minha mae olhando uma rua pra mim no guia com a lanterninha - so pra nao chamar atencao e dar de perdida em Sao Paulo!Lost in Sao Paulo - Google Maps does not work that well over there. Or maybe the city changed some streets into one-way streets since that map was published. Luckly, my mom has a "Barbie box" (Barbie because it is pink) inside her car. This box contains a few tools, flashlight and a good city map! In this picture, my mom is looking up a street for me using her flashlight.
Home sweet home

Achei essa plaquinha muito fofa.. uma crianca jogando bola! heheI thought this sign was very Brazilian - it doesn't just mean "Children at play" - it means "Children playing soccer".. hehe
Parque do Ibirapuera - A versao Paulista do Central Parque - com a excessao de nao ser retangular e ser bem melhor que o central park.Ibirapuera Park - Sao Paulo's version of Central Park. Except that it is not rectangular and it is much nicer than Central Park
Em Sao Paulo tem muito motoboy, todo mundo sabe disso. Mas olha so esse estacionamento de moto no aeroporto! Quantas motos tem ai? E como eles fazem pra sair do meio?There are lots of motorcycles in Sao Paulo. We call them "Moto-boy". Motoboys are usually males (duh!) who deliver stuff around the city. Sometimes they are the pizza guys, sometimes they go to the bank to make payments for different businesses, they deliver documents, work as "moto-taxi" etc. This picture was taken at one of the motorcycle parking areas at the international airport in Sao Paulo. How many motorcycles are there? And how do they get out when they need to?
