| São Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport Wednesday morning December 16, 2009 |
| Welcome to São Paulo! |
Look out the window as your plane descends to São Paulo's airport, and you'll see nothing but high -
rises as far as the eye can see. It's a truly awesome sight - FROMMER’s
São Paulo, capital of the state of that name and the largest city in South America Economically,
politically and culturally, is the most important city in Brazil - REUTERS

The coffee boom was startling. Between 1901 and 1910, coffee made up 51% of Brazil's
total exports, far overshadowing rubber, sugar and cotton - Wikipedia <Our "Coffee Suite" #520 >

Taxi view of street vendors as we slowly make our way to Sé Square
The Praça da Sé (Sé Square) is a public space in São Paulo, considered
the center of town, because is the point from where the distancy of all
roads that pass on São Paulo are counted. The square was the location of
many historic events in São Paulo's history, most notably during the Diretas
Já movement. The name originates from the episcopal see of the city, the
São Paulo Cathedral - Wikipedia

In a city with nearly 11 million inhabitants and 4.5 million passenger cars, 32,000 taxis and
15,000 buses, traffic jams more than 100 miles long are not uncommon, and even on an
ordinary day, getting from one side of town to the other can take two hours or more. Only
one group here in South America’s largest city seems immune to those frustrations and
delays: the daring army of motorcycle messengers known as “motoboys”. zigzagging among
stopped cars, ignoring lane markers, red lights and stop signs, they regularly menace
pedestrians and infuriate motorists as they zoom their way down gridlocked streets and
highways, armed with the knowledge that without them business would grind to a halt.
Though no one is sure of their exact numbers, estimates start at 120,000 and range as high
as 200,000. “The truth is that we’re discardable,” said Edson Agripino, 38, a veteran of 15
years as a motoboy. ‘When a colleague gets hurt or killed, the first thing the dispatchers ask
is, ‘Did he deliver the document?’”

São Paulo is a great city for pedestrians, and most neighborhoods can easily be explored
on foot. Just be very careful when crossing the street. São Paulo has the highest number of
motorcycle couriers in the country, and it's motorcycles that are responsible for the highest
number of pedestrian deaths. Be particularly careful when crossing in between stopped cars;
motorcycles often ride at high speed between lanes. Droves of "motoboy" couriers move
deftly through Sao Paulo's daily rush-hour traffic jams with documents and parcels, often
galling motorists with their risky driving. In all, there are about 650,000 motoboys, mostly
poorly educated lads from the slums surrounding Sao Paulo - FROMMER’s
BLOOD ON THE TRACKS
It is dangerous work. In 2006, about 380 motoboys were killed and 9,000 injured, according
to the Brazilian Motorcylists Association. It's common to see a motoboy sprawled prone on
the road after a smack with a car - REUTERS
