🇧🇷 São Paulo Travel Diary 📷📝

"Safely survived—no theft, just warm locals & chocolate heaven!" 🍽️ Food Adventures McDonald's (first meal fail 😅) → Local hotel food ✅ → BBQ ✅ Fig Tree Restaurant (overpriced & underwhelming 🥷) DENGO Chocolate 🍫: Dark chocolate tasting = smooth, not bitter! Their drinking chocolate = rich & divine! 🚶♀️ Sightseeing Highlights 🌳 Ibirapuera Park (9AM): Cool breeze, joggers, dogs galore! Playgrounds even adults can enjoy 😏 (MAM closed). 🍔 Mequi 1000 (1000th McDonald’s): Just a photo op—menu’s basic, but giant mirror wall! 🖼️ MASP Museum: Famous "eye-roll" painting 👀 + LGBTQ+ love exhibit (powerful!). ⚽ Football Museum: Not a fan? Still felt the crowd’s energy! (Google Translate saved us). 🎨 Batman Alley: Go before noon for empty shots! Bargain-friendly stalls (cards accepted). ⛪ São Paulo Cathedral: Quick visit + bought a peace lantern ✨ (spare change only!). 🛍️ Shopping Spots 🛒 Av. Paulista Malls: Local brands + souvenir gems (met a sweet bookmark granny!). Bonus: Got a police escort by accident (too chill? 😂). 💎 JK Iguatemi Mall: Chanel-esque facade—luxe & local finds under one roof! 🚖 Uber Tips Comfort > UberX (AC = non-negotiable in heat! 🔥) Cheap & fast pickups—life-saver! ⚠️ Travel Takeaways Weather: Hot + buggy (10 mosquito patches = my armor 🦟). Rain? Forecasts lie—pack an umbrella! ☔ Safety: Watch bags/kids/chatty strangers—leave before night traffic! Footwear: Comfy shoes! SP = Brazil’s Chongqing (steep hills everywhere!). Cash: 200 BRL max—cards work most places! Final Thought: "São Paulo = chaotic charm. Do your food homework... or join the McFanclub!" 😂 #BrazilTravel #SaoPauloDiaries #ChocolateLover #SafeAndSound #UrbanWanderer #NoMoreMcDonalds
