A brief account of how surreal life can get when it doesn't rain in São Paulo, plus an extensive summary of the diseases my family's had in the past two months. Fun!

This graffiti keeps popping up around my neighbourhood. At first, there were only a couple of them, including one really beautiful image of a girl with her hand down her pants (it’s OK, it’s art.) That one’s gone now, replaced at first by some flyers and then another less successful painting by the same artist or group.

Another bloody bank on Avenida Paulista stealing the sparkle out of a child's eyesFor Blog 11/12, I thought I'd try out something a little different by recording a video of me taking a quick wander round the local area. That's probably about as excruciating as it sounds, but I thought it might be of interest to people who've never seen São Paulo, since I found it to be a wholly unimaginable city until I got here. Also, the Christmas lights in the palm trees are pretty and a little bit surreal for those of us weaned on long winter nights and cold or simply wet Christmas days.
