[*] 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 whether you come here on
business or for an expo, a congress or a convention, 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.
