São Paolo 3
In the morning I headed to Parque de Iberapuera, which is the green heart of the city, with bicycle and jogging routs, playgrounds for children, lakes with black swans, capoeira-fighters, museums and exposition-sites. It was really funny when the dancers on the stage showed the choreography to the public, and they were dancing together.
Then I arrived to the Museu de Arte de São Paolo (MASP), where I found several impressive expositions. After visiting the permanent one, I have to say, I got more attracted to the works of Portinari. His painting "The black worker on the coffee field" made me think on Gauguin' Tahiti works, in the same time his work "Family mourning their dead child" is rather in impressionist style. I really like him.
After the museum I walked to the city center and had lunch in a good sushi bar. From there I went to the place Sé, where around 8 self-made preachers were spreading the "faith" (Christ still lives or death on the faithless and sodomist Americans - just in the name of love) to the interested public, of which 90% were local bored homeless, living in the place Sé. The police was patrolling in high number, because the cathedral of the place is a tourist-highlight, some of its hand painted windows were made by a Hungarian artist.
Continuing my way into the Japanese district was very funny, every well-known company had its announcements and adds written in Japanese on their shields and shops, which few streets away I saw in Portuguese. After that I visited the Pateo de Colegio, the oldest remained building of the city from the 16th century, a Jesuits built school and church. It is in very Puritan style but still astonishing. For sunset, I went to the rooftop of the Edificio Italia with one of the leaders of the Hungarian House, where you can have an impressive panorama view to the city.
São Paolo is an interesting city, where with a lot of money, You can have a real quality life, although the with less money, you could enjoy it as well, however I did not fell in love, unlike in Rio. Tomorrow I flight to my last destination in Brazil: the waterfalls of Iguaçu.
