2nd July
No discern features, major attractions.
On the surface a functional business hub...almost, grey in appearance.
The general backpacker consensus says "don't bother".
I'm at Sao Paulo international airport (getting a domestic flight....I hope).
I've been here 3 nights with the "soul" purpose of arranging travel to Bahia (the book says the home of Afro Brazillian Culture).
Nothing significant to report.
Not many photos neither.
Walked around city.
Took Tube.
Went Park.
Museum.
Bar.
The hostel I stayed at was clean, quiet, respectful.... housed mainly by Brazillians on "temporary business".
Haven't spoke to anyone in "two way ingles" for a couple of days.

I really like it here.
...Been the first place (probably partially due to the diverse skin tones of the Sao Paulians) that I felt I (almost) melded in....(Obviously my almost constant look of confusion is sometimes a bit of give away).
My encounters with the people have been helpful, friendly.
That..."like a tourist" feeling hasn't flared up much.
I'll probably stay here for a couple more days on my return.
Sao Paulo...An underrated travel destination.
