Arrived!

So, after a rush to finish packing and get to the airport, and a long flight (through which I slept, thankfully!) I arrived in Sao Paulo this morning! Am getting ready to head off to Rio and see everything a bit, likely to be out of touch for the next couple of weeks but I am very excited to finally be here after thinking about the next 3 months so much.

First impressions of Sao Paulo;

~huge, yet not very cramped despite the size: the streets are wide and there seems to be tons of space
~buzzing with people, as you would expect there are around 22 million of them!
~the driving standards are actually marginally better than I expected; this is either an indicator of spectacularly bad driving in other countries I´ve visited (likely), or that it simply get worse (also likely!)
~the area I´m in is very nice, really colorful with lots of nice restaurants and oddly, lots of familiar shops from home!

Got lots of things to sort before heading to Rio, primarily leaving a load of my stuff at the AIESEC Brazil office something which is likely to improve my problem solving skills, as I´ve no idea where it is, and have deleted the email with the address.....google?
