A month (mais ou menos) in Brazil should give me time to breath some life back into this blog. I'll probably even take some pictures here, as guest of James Alison and travel buddy of Aarti Kotak. For now, here's a shot of the São Paulo skyline that (while pretty -- thanks Flickr!) can't hold a candle to the view of this Megapolis I got while landing. It's like 50 Manhattans smooshed together -- and that's just the 'downtown' part.

Look closely to see how the square kilometers of highrise buildings just go on and on and on to the horizon. This is the largest city in the southern hemisphere and the 7th largest in the world.
