Last year I was super excited to make a trip to visit my friend in Brazil- all the Brazilians I have ever met are so full of life and so friendly. I had never been to Brazil before, so Sao Paulo was my first experience in the country. It wasn't at all what I had expected... I thoroughly enjoyed my trip there but I found the city to be very modern, expensive and grey and a little dull. Does anyone have any recommendations for next time when I go? Maybe my friend didn't take me to the right places. I also want to make a trip to Rio de Janeiro, which I hear is amazing. One thing is for sure though- Brazilians are very fun people!
