Sao Paulo, Brazil



"My friend, my friend, health is first!" said my colleague Patara as he escorted me back to my hotel to take some rest. I can't believe I caught tonsillitis on my first in Brazil. The stuff I had to drink to heal myself I will not mention here but next time I will prefer to rather die. Sao Paulo - millions of people, poverty and riches, business and pleasure. In the second week Patara, Adilson and I flew to Brasilia, the capital, where 75% of the population were women ages 20-40. Brasilia reminded me of the States. Wide big roads, traffic. I will never forget the Brazilian food and hospitality of the people.
