copywriter comments.: Sunday in the City.

this sunday nicole and i went to see a few museums and definitely saw the better side of sao paulo. after taking two metros trains we arrived at the portuguese language museum. while understand portuguese would have been extremely helpful, it was still very interesting to see the evolution of the language including the influence english has had on brazilian portuguese. then across the street was pinacoteca park and museum. we sat at the cutest cafe and had the best coffee. then we visited the three story museum. it was enormous. rooms and rooms of art, from sculptures and 20th century to pop art and 18th century. after a good 2 1/2hrs we still didn't see anything.

the park.

an exhibit on the paint of the teatro en rio de janeiro. including all the underpaintings he compiled to paint the entire thing.

underpaintings:

this entire piece of art is made from...

...numbers.

the main exhibit was of marie bononi. a sao paulo artist most known for creating art using impressions of things like wood and metal. not only are her prints beautiful but the sculptures themselves are works of art.

the seven layers of humanity.

these molds are made from textures throughout the city of sao paulo.

it poured on our way home. the glory of opposite seasons and it being spring here.

the train ie subway here is really efficient. it's also very clean. we were surprised. we used it to go everywhere for only $R2.40.

the language museum. the kiosk that allowed you to explore all the words that have influenced Portuguese.

Like x-burguer.

or, in English, Cheeseburger. [x in portugeuse is shees]

then we hit up Liberdade for the street fair in Japan town. they had the most amazing food for really cheap. shrimp skewers for $R1 and Yakisoba for $R8. complete with meat on a stick and beer.
