"São Paulo não pode parar!"
(São Paulo can't stop!).
This is the slogan that leads
our tireless megalopolis."Paulistas" (people from São Paulo) are
always in a whirlwind, rushing to work, facing the heavy traffic,
fighting against the watch......
"Vambora, vambora! Olha a
hora, vambora, vambora!!!"
(Let's go, let's go! Watch the time,
let's go, let's go!!!), says a song about Sampa. And so we
go...
But our city have its charms, too. Here you have an
intense cultural and artistic life, hundreds of cinemas and
theaters, very good spectacles and concerts, more than 1000
restaurants, a boiling nightlife, lots of entertainment, the biggest
shopping-centers...
In spite of the stressing life and behind the
appearance sometimes too serious, paulistas are "gente boa"!
(very fine people!)..:)
As we don't have beaches nor nature,
we enjoy the town meeting our friends, going out to dinner,
to dance -- or simply spending a nice time together in our homes
...
One thing is sure: if you need a real friend, look for us!...
