São Paulo is on my have-to-visit list for other reasons though. The city may very well be the most multi-ethnic city in the world: - 5,000,000 inhabitants are direct or indirect descendants of Italians. There is a building named Edifício Itália (Italy Building), in honor of the Italians. - 1,000,000+ are direct or indirect descendants of Japanese. São Paulo has the largest number of Japanese outside Japan. - There are 3 mio. Portuguese descendants, 2 mio. Spanish, 1.5 mio. African, 1 mio. Germans etc. etc. etc. (All according to Wikipedia which also claims that the greater city area houses 19.7 million inhabitants) What a treat! What a melting pot! It must be truly awesome to experience such diversity in a single city. And banning advertising only makes it even more compelling. The city's Latin motto is Non ducor, duco, which translates as "I am not led, I lead". They seem to take that rather seriously. Very interesting indeed.
