Day 47 – Sao Paulo City, Brasil
Marcelo, Carolina and I headed 2 hours south to Sao Paulo for a cultural day. We stopped at the park to see a photo exhibit and I was a but hesitant about lunch. We were going for Japanese and my previous 2 encounters with that food, I was not so impressed. Brasil has the largest Japanese population outside of Japan so there is a lot of restaurant competition. This place was, all you can eat for 15$ which was perfect for me since I could try different things. Turned out to be yummy, even the raw fish and the marinated gunger was amazing. I have decided that is my new favorite spice and I must learn to cook with it. We went to the stadium to watch a football game – Corinthians vs. Palmeira. a bug Sao Paulo rivalry. It is best not to get caught in the wrong section or the wrong supporters side during these games. Unfortunetly, the side we were rooting for lost badly but it was a fun spectacle nevertheless.
We rented the movie Motorcycle Diaries. I had read the book before coming but now after having been in some of the places it was great to watch. Some wonderful quotes in the movie I had forgotten about. Good inspirational travel film.
