Welcome to Brazil

I arrived in São Paulo!! What a crazy city: it has 30! million citizens, the poor live next to the rich, the homeless are sleeping on the pavement, and the criminality is very high. It´s just one of these huge cities, but it´s so impressive! The second day I went to Santos, a beach about 1,5 hours from São Paulo. It has a big sandy beach surrounded by green hills. The water wasn´t very clean. I didn´t like it much there, but I heared they have some beautiful beaches here. I´ll try to go there after this semester since I have about two weeks for travelling.But the most exciting thing about Brazil: they have so many fruits, mmmhhhhhh. I didn´t even know that there are about 400! different kinds of mango. And I tried a fruit I never saw nor heard about before - ´jaca´. It is about half a meter! long, and it tastes a little like banana. It´s not my favorite.. After three days I left São Paulo and took a bus to Campo Mourão, where the biblecollege is.
