Before the parade...It has only been three days but I am allready completely in love with this place! Before I came I heard so many bad things about Sao Paulo but this city is nothing like I expected. The people are amazing and always seem to have a big smile on their face. It is much cleaner and wealthier than I expected. The food is amazing and the boys.....HELLO CHRISTMAS!!! (as Jan would say). Jardins where we are staying could be a neighbourhood in Sydney or Los Angeles only much much bigger...and I haven't been robbed or kidnapped...or even ripped of by a taxi driver even though I definately dont look like a local. It's an amazing city...and I will definately come back here many times if I can help it...
On Saturday we walked up to Paulista Avenue which is the main business street in Sao Paulo to watch the Pride Parade. It all started at 2pm. Unlike the Sydney Mardigras the parade is not very political (although I think 'Homophobia is a crime' was the theme this year) but just a big celebration. And people here are all about celebrating! 2 million people, gay, straight, trannies, whole families and old

Before the parade... ladies, all joined the parade which turned into one huge out of control street party. It was amazing! I have never experienced anything like it! The atmosphere, the people, the music...we danced for about 6 hours and 4km straight before we crawled back to our hotel and collapsed for a few hours before heading out for one last party at The Week.
