I grew up on the outskirts of Sampa, or São Paulo as most people know it. Yes, there is horrible traffic, and pollution along with countless beggars and muggers at every corner. Yet, the city’s energy, and culture are so unique! I invite you to experience it if you can.
Caetano Veloso describes in one of his songs “ Sampa” a poetic version of the everyday life of a Paulista. I personally worked in a historical building, Correios Central do Brasil, on Avenida São João during my college years. Check it out, it is a beauty! So if you want take a virtual tour of São Paulo, here are 3 links for you to enjoy, and the lyrics for Caetano Veloso song!
