welcome to sao paulo guys welcome to the largest city in not only brazil
but in all of latin america just in the main central area of the city there is a population
of 13 million people and if you take into consideration the whole metro suburb kind of
area it's closer to 22 million this is also the financial central business hub of brazil when
you fly over it you literally just see like multiple downtown areas with like skyscrapers
really big buildings it is overwhelming so where i am walking right now is actually the main street
in all of sao paulo called palista avenue today is a sunday so they actually close down the
street for pedestrians people exercising and it's just a really great place to go
to just take in the sights of the city people watch and have a really good time this is also
one of the areas of the city that i would really recommend that you guys get accommodation near
if you kind of want to be in a more central area that's easy to walk to places or to take the metro
it's definitely one of the safer parts of the city and i would really recommend it
wow that looks so
good right guys we have a feast in front of us an absolute feast i'm here with stephanie and mariana
yeah we actually met on a tour um
so i figured that we would get together for a day of adventuring and super delicious food so
ladies could you tell me what what kind of food do we have here like what are these dishes here
uh-huh here in brazil yeah
yeah this we definitely don't have in canada
and this what is that we're going to use
lovely
so what is the name of this neighborhood again
this is a lovely weekend thrift market here
what would you guys say is like a common thing that people in sao paulo do on the weekends
the um
if the person sing or mad true sure our age yeah
oh cinema hearts like parks i have brunch or or lunch go to some places near but almost
on countryside like uh very close near cities which you can go like 30 minutes from sao paulo
yeah there is like a little bit farm you know you can go also play soccer
there is very little especially for me yeah soccer on saturdays do you like football mm-hmm
nice so is that a rivalry
bye
hey guys it is thursday morning and uh today is going to be the first day that i'm really
going to be exploring the downtown historic um district that you know has a lot of sao paulo's
main attractions in it and this is actually not that far from where i'm staying it's about a
10-15 minute walk but i will say i am a little bit uncomfortable um i did hear from my friend
david the youtube channel life with david that downtown sao paulo you know you got
to be careful in so i kind of have been keeping that in mind as i've been walking in this area
and it really doesn't help that today is a holiday so so many things are closed starbucks was like
one of the few businesses that i could pop into so that is why i have booked myself on a free walking
tour you know they're gonna take us all around in a group which i think will be much safer for first
impressions because yeah to be honest walking here by myself i really don't feel that comfortable
so
all right friends we are in santa teresa which is supposed to be the oldest bakery in brazil
that is absolutely wild and even on a holiday today they are still open
and they're supposed to have the best kohinas am i pronouncing that right i hope i am but it is a
brazilian specialty which usually has a shredded chicken in the middle sometimes a sort of cream
cheese surrounding it and then a potato dough that is then deep fried in this sort of teardrop shape
so
and that is it guys i sadly have to end the video here because unfortunately i lost some footage
and speaking parts that i had in the city but i just wanted to say that i had a fantastic time
in sao paulo there really is so much to do in this city it is enormous but make sure you stay tuned
for my next video which is also still in sao paulo where i get to go to a very very special event
so i hope you guys enjoyed this video let me know your thoughts in the comments
and as always keep being your own kind of beautiful bye guys
you
