Sao Paulo is the San Jose of Brazil

Last month, I spent 2 weeks in Sao Paulo for work. While the trip was all work and no play, I did learn a few things about Brazil:

1. No, people do not run around everywhere in bikinis and thongs. Stop asking me for hot pics.
   
2. Cheese can be barbequed.
   
3. It's apparently safer to run a red light at night than to stop at the intersection and wait for it to turn green.
   

To help you understand why I did not return with a tan, this is what I saw most days:



Also, I finally went to the beach on my last day in Brazil, but it started pouring rain right after I got there. Apparently I have special powers that bring epic rains to any coastal region that I visit. There's gotta be a way to make a career out of that. I'm still working out the details.
