OUR WEATHER

The weather in So Paulo is very unstable. Dubbed as Cidade da Garoa, (rainy city inPortuguese) you can have all the four seasons in only one day. In July and August well be in

the winter, but dont worry, you wont get very cold. The average temperature in July isaround 16C (60.8F) and is the coldest month. Usually, the day starts cold, and before 10p.m., the sun gets hotter, and the weather is warm. When the sun sets, the nights get verycold. Although the winter is not known as a very rainy month, So Paulo can get you bysurprise. Its important to always bring an umbrella with you. (You can look at the forecast athttp://www.accuweather.com/en/br/sao-paulo/45881/weather-forecast/45881 )

OUR RELIGIONS

Brazil has a rich religious diversity due to the various immigration processes. We canfind many different religions around the streets, as like, Christian, Islamic, African-Brazilian,Jewish, etc. We have a Secular State, which means you can worship any religion. The majorityof the population is Catholic.

OUR CULTURE

Like the religion, So Paulos culture is very rich and mixed. At the same day you caneat Japanese food in Liberdade for lunch (Liberdade is a Japanese neighborhood), watch anAustralian concert by the afternoon, and have some spaghetti in Bixiga (Italian neighborhood)for dinner. Its a city which has a little piece of the whole world. When it comes to music, wehave Bossa Nova and Samba as typical kinds of Brazilian music, but there are other variantsand many places to listen to good music in So Paulo. Explore our culture and you will finddiversity and a huge number of different things to do.

SAFETYWhile So Paulo may not be as safe as Copenhagen or post-GiulianiManhattan, you wil

feel safe at most of touristic areas if you follow a few common sense rules. One thing to keepin mind is that So Paulo is a city of social contrasts, but this definitely does not mean thatyou have to be paranoid all the time. Relax, and learn how locals deal with their personalsafety. Here are some basic guidelines we try to follow ourselves.

Avoiding the pitfalls

Do not bother bringing flashy jewelry, gold, or platinum watches. If you've got it, this isnotthe place to flaunt it...

Carry along a photocopy of your passport, in case you are asked to show some ID.

Do not take along more cash than you need. Most restaurants and stores take creditcard, anyway.

Stay at specifically recommended areas.

Avoid dark or isolated areas where you do not see a single soul at night. Walk with asense of purpose, as if you knew where you are going to.

Don't walk around with your camcorder or your state-of-the-art camera swinging fromyour limp hand, like a shopping bag. Wear shoulder straps.

If you bring along expensive cameras or camcorders, consider insurance.

If you take a bus, keep the exact change in hand, so you don't have to pick up yourwallet (which obviously is in your front pocket).

Do not leave your drink unattended at bars or discos, and dont accept any drinks fromsomeone you dont know.

Don't take strangers you've just met back to your room - even if you think you are inlove! This is the easiest way to become a victim of violence, or theft. Take them to amotel, instead.

Don't get involved with the drug scene, even if you think you know what you're doing.

If the worse happens, and you are approached by a criminal element, try to keep calm.Do not fight. They may be on drugs, could react violently, and you certainly have moreto lose than they do.

Though police officers in the street try to be helpful, most do not speak otherlanguages. If you need to report something was stolen for insurance purposes, go tothe tourist police (DEATUR). Their offices are located in:

Rua Consolao, 247 - loja 08 - Centro (11) 3257-4475Parque Anhembi - Pavilho de Exposies do Anhembi -(11) 2226-0664Aeroporto de Congonhas, Congonhas Airport (11) 5090-9032.Aeroporto de Guarulhos, Guarulhos Airport (11) 2611-2686.

TRANSPORTATIONAsking friends is the best way to know how to go to places, always try to go with

someone else to ensure greater security. Searching in sites is also a good idea when you wantto know more about So Paulo. So Paulo is a city that never stops, there's always somethingnew happening, keep yourself always informed about new things to do. Another importantpoint is that So Paulo is one of the largest cities in the world, it is important to always planthe best route to get to places, always useGoogle Maps which provides the best routesfor buses, subways and trains. Youll always have to walk a bit to get to places if you dontfeel comfortable walking you can take a taxi at any time of the day.

To avoid carrying cash, So Paulo has a kind of magnetic card called "Bilhete nico",valid for bus and subway and train. You can recharge it on any terminal (bus, train or subway).The Bilhete nico ticket gives you the right to get in as many buses as you want within 2

hours after the first just paying one passage, without paying anything extra for the other, theBilhete nico has the same benefits to all types of public transportation. Each passage for anytype of public transportation costs R$ 3,20 and the minimum charge for single ticket is R$16,00. To use it just touch it on any magnetic machine on terminals or inside the bus, pass itevery time you change the bus, train or subway. Remember that there are some train andsubway terminals that have the free exchange. You can buy the Bilhete nico in any terminalOn weekdays the public transportation opens at 4:00am and closes at 00:00, on weekendsand holidays the schedule is different. To use Bus + Subway or Train with Bilhete nico costsR$ 3,20 + R$ 1,80 = R$ 5,00. You can charge your Bilhete on Subway stations.

Bus

There are several types of buses in Sao Paulo, the colors identify the region where itsfrom and where it goes, for example:

Come or goes to the Central region.

North West.

North or Northeast.

East.

East.

South.

Mid-South.

Southeast.

Intermunicipal or subway price is different.

Always try to get information about bus. To make it easier, there is an information boardinforming the main avenues where that bus will pass, located at the side and front of the busThere is a professional known as cobrador sitting behind a turnstile to collect your moneyand give you change.

Subway and Train

All subway lines and trains have some kind of connection or are connected to busterminals. The subways are usually faster and safer than trains; always prefer to take thesubway. Train is called by CPTM and subway by Metr.

Taxi

You don't have to go far to find a taxi in So Paulo - they are everywhere. And they arehard to miss too. Beware of the different types of taxi in So Paulo, there are normal (whitewith yellow and black stripes), special (white and red, more expensive than the normal), luxury

(all black, the most expensive) each one has a different price. All taxis are white but prefer thetaxis with yellow and black stripes on the side, these are the normal taxis. The taxis run by thekilometer. The initial fare in a normal taxi is R$4,10 and the kilometer starts counting as soonas you get in. It costs R$ 2,50 per kilometer. After 8 p.m. and on Sundays, fares are a littlehigher (the kilometer is set to bandeira 2,and costs R$ 3,25). You do not need to give tipsSome taxis are air-conditioned at no extra charge. A word to the wise: do not make pre-paiddeals with taxis. They are illegal, and probably mean the driver is trying to take advantage ofyou. Hail the next cab. We've heard of taxis trying to pull this dirty trick. For your safety, callsome taxi company that you can find in internet. Some of them accept cards, but the mostpart of the taxis in So Paulo only accept money. Dont forget to check this information!
