Life Inside Brazilian Mega City (Sao Paulo )
This elevated highway was built by mistake He is giving me warning on his phone She called me here We are reaching there by asking people Where it is not safe to go alone If there is no police, who knows what can happen here And I have to be that much more careful here Look, this is a Royal Enfield, an Indian bike Hey Guys, Welcome back to the new vlog My name is Tourvashu Right now I am in Brazil, the largest country in South America and the Southern Hemisphere Which is the fifth largest country in the world by area Along with that, the world's seventh most populate country is Brazil with a population of around 205 million More than 200 million people live in Brazil I am currently with my host Maah, She is Maah Right now I'm off to explore Brazil's biggest city Sao Paulo Sao Paulo is the most populas urban area in the world outside Asia and also a Metropolitan City with Most Population The population of the entire city is approximately 22 million More than 20 million people live in Sao Paulo metropolitan areas Which is 10 percent of the population of the whole of Brazil We just left Mah's house a while ago You guys saw their area yesterday It's a very local area You will find very few foreigner people there, actually you will not see them at all We have just taken a taxi from her house via Uber and going to Sao Paulo's Center City We're here right now on Main Avenue and Main Street The distance from her house was approximately 7 to 8 kilometers. The whole street is called Paulista Avenue This is the downtown of entire Sao Paulo and today is sunday But if you come here between Monday to Saturday then you will see a lot of traffic and a lot of cars here Here you will find many vehicles and public transport buses etc. but on sunday all over this Paulista Avenue The movement of cars and vehicles is stopped here Only pedestrians are allowed here You can just walk here or come by bicycle. Although Brazil is counted among the developing countries of the world But ever since I came to Sao Paulo, I feel Brazil is much more developed.
I feel like I am in some European country Friends, there is a party atmosphere everywhere There's music and dancing everywhere Here beer is being served publicly on the street He asks me if I want to drink too. The music is too loud Such an atmosphere is found here only on Sundays and today is Sunday There's only dance and music happening all over Paulista Avenue I am not able to speak anything properly because loud music is playing everywhere People have come alone, with family, with friends and with groups Everybody is enjoying, eating, drinking and dancing Everyone is walking here, cycling, skating, every kind of activity is happening here People here are having fun and enjoying their lives. Sao Paulo is considered the commerce, finance and entertainment center of Brazil And Sao Paulo has a huge international influence on this thing. And this entire street is the economic center of the entire city at present We keep walking on this street, but its length is not ending This whole Paulista street is approximately 3 kilometers long. There are many restaurants, bars and shopping centers here. There are many freshers institutions and many luxury private schools here at the present time So when I went to her place yesterday Last night at about 10:00 PM she had to get some medicine from the medical store.
And she was not able to decide whether it would be right to go there or not, whether it was safe to go there or not She was asking me whether she should go or not She is currently learning the English language, the mother tongue of all the people here is Portuguese. I was telling you that last night I was unable to decide whether I should go or not or whether it would be safe or not. Then she said to me let's go tomorrow morning I don't feel like going here right now then I said to her no let's go It wasn't very far, about 500 meters, and to go there She was saying let's take an Uber At night the road becomes empty, anybody can do anything Then I told her many times that let's go together, there will be no problem Then we went together and decided we dont should take Uber for the 500 meter. We were going for a walk and I was using my phone, so she told me not to take the phone out of my pocket even by mistake. You won't even know when it will disappear in seconds And never go out from here, whenever you go out, go out with any person or in a group Because anybody can attack here at any time and the locals are telling me so, so what should I say now? The name of Brazil is a shorten form of Federative Republic of Brazil Land of Brazil Hood, named by the Portuguese Brazil wood is a type of timber found in Brazil and is also the national tree of this country.
Which is found only in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil and is not found anywhere else in the world This is a very premium quality wood which is used for making musical instruments and some colours Friends, while walking we have just come to a market store on this street In Brazil I noticed that different supermarkets have different prices for things The item costs $2 at some places, $1.5 at others and $1 at other supermarkets She has purchased some water bottles and juice I bought a small packet of mixed fruit This is a protein drink and it's 25 grams and it's $2.7 I had this drink yesterday as well and bought it from a local supermarket which was nearby This similar drink costs $1.98 at that supermarket Both of these are the same for a total of $3.78 Wherever I paid with my card in all of Mexico, I never had to give P. But everywhere in Brazil I need to give Pin so this is a good thing for me There's too much music and noise here Here a lot of people are jogging, running, skating and a lot of people are also making TikTok videos by standing in the middle of the road They are making it by placing a tripod on the road and putting a camera on it, look them It is being said that the woman is a Brazilian influencer She is telling me that you also come in my video I find this city quite developed and modern. I feel as if I am in some European city.
Although Brazil is considered a developing country, it is not included in the developed countries But, It seems quite advanced to me 80% of the population in Brazil follows Christianity Around 12% of the population does not follow any religion The remaining seven to eight percent of people who remains to belong other religion Brazil a Christian Majority Country e just left Porn Star Street So guys, we've just left this street. And now we're going to the second most popular street of Sau Polo We will go by taxi from here because its around 5km Uber cabs are available here and apart from that there is an app called 99 Uber is charging us $3.55 for a distance of 5 km We will use 99 up to hire a taxi as there we can get a taxi for just $2.66 So we ordered a taxi from 99 app The bus service is free on Sundays and you can go from anywhere to anywhere in Sao Paulo You have to pay for the metro service but there is no charge for the bus service on Sundays I had to pay $2.66 to travel 5 km
Here you have to pay $0.53 per kilometer Is she repeatedly telling me that my camera is old and it will be very difficult to do this work So now we have reached the Minho Cao area We were dropped by a taxi in the outer area, 100-200 meters behind the area. because taking a taxi to that area is not allowed on Sundays There is no commercial area here, everyone lives in the residential area.
You can call it the most high end residential area of Sau Polo Right now we are crossing the road and going to the Minhocão which is on the other side of the road So, Actually it is an elevated highway In the middle of residential area And because of Sunday, complete barricading has been done here. So that no one brings their vehicle here because only pedestrians' are allowed on this highway The interesting thing about this place is that This place is called an urban planning disaster In Brazil Because everywhere around here, There are only residential areas and apartment blocks. So this elevated highway was built by mistake Because of that the connectivity between the residential areas here was lost People were not able to go from one area to another People were going with great difficulty, it was taking a lot of time and effort Wherever you look here, there are residential apartments as far as the eye can see But if you come here on normal days, you will see vehicles and cars coming and going here. This elevated highway passes through the middle of the entire residential area Many areas in this highway have been isolated from each other. A new video has also come, say of 30 minutes. There is some problem in her knee due to which she is not able to move much.
So now I will walk ahead from here and then come back to them There are local people sitting in front of Sao Paulo It's afternoon now and it's not too cold. Many people are running in half shirts and some are running without any clothes at all But still I have worn a jacket and it is very cold here in the morning and evening Look at this road, it is a normal road from Monday to Saturday on which vehicles run. But today is Sunday so these people have made this entire road a picnic spot Just for Sunday, people here have increased the number of trees on the road and have put sheds and bean bags etc. on it so that people can sit and walk on it. Apart from that, there are a lot of people running and cycling here.
Due to which they are completely drenched in sweat, so a portable shower has been installed here in which they come and take a shower. So look here's a portable shower right in the middle of the road There might be some charge for bathing here and people come here to take shower Look friends, how these people are enjoying comfortably sitting here on the road Maybe there is food and drinks here at night People here are very friendly, I think 99% of the people here are good. There must be one or two percent people due to whom Brazil is getting defamed One thing I really liked about Brazil is that some areas here are made pedestrian only areas Actually I can't pronounce some words properly So friends very good morning and welcome back again now it's the next day It is 10:30 in the morning and I am going to the Sao Paulo Center which is also known as the Historic Center of Sau Paulo And that area is also called the old part of the Sao Paulo. And it is said that the real local life of Sau Paulo can be seen there. The center of the Sau Paulo is approximately 10 km from here so I have ordered a taxi from Uber Uber charged me $3.90 for a distance of 10 km
This is my Uber driver and he's warning me via Google Translate on his phone And what is saying to be careful on the street with your smartphone He is telling me not to keep my mobile phone and camera near the car window He is saying that even after the car window is closed, many people break the glass from outside and run away with mobile phones and other things. Today I am going to a very important place in Sao Paulo But tourists and foreigners are not recommended to visit all those places. So there's a local Brazilian at the center who's waiting for me And today I'm going to join them - and exploring the local places of Sao Paulo.
It is very difficult to go there alone And it is also considered quite unsafe. Till now you guys have seen the modern part of Sao Paulo and the new part But now you are going to see the original city centre of Sao Paulo, you are going to see the old part Where the original population of 100 Paulo lives The whole city looks very beautiful, very colorful and very nice. There are electronic displays at every short distance on which time and temperature etc. are being displayed.
So friends, I have reached where I wanted to reach. I'm right in the middle of the city center at Sau Paulo I am now saying bye to this brother and he is telling me to be very careful and protect my belongings. So friends right now I am with Nicol So she is a local here and she is from Sau Paulo and she has invited me here He invited me here to show me the local area and the city center. It is not safe to go alone This is a very big square, whose name is Praca da Sa Praca means square in Portuguese language There is a very large cathedral here which is named after this square Cathedral da Se She is local here The people who are locals and are born here are called Paulister She is also telling me to be very careful and cautious about my things here. There aren't a lot of cops around She is telling me that this is a very populated and very dense area There is going to be a lot of crowd there there are a lot of poor people here The crime rate is very high here and that is why there are a lot of policemen here. I see a lot of homeless people here I actually have 3 cameras And today I have brought the smallest camera that I have, so it is possible that my picture quality may not be that better today And I have done this so that my camera is not visible to others I think they have a lot of options of rings, here is one of their shops which she is showing us There are gold and silver shops on this entire street she's showing me a diamond catalogue Diamonds are also being sold here Look at this shop, it is written on it - Since 1951 It is a 70 year old shop.
This is a complete original city center Here you will see local and original people of Sao Paulo She is telling me that a lot of people here are drug addicts, means they take drugs I have never seen so many policemen in such a small area anywhere in Sao Paulo as I have seen here. Every few minutes, I see a policeman at every 10 to 20 meters Sugarcane juice was being sold there So in this whole area you will see a lot of homeless people, you can see how they are lying on the ground here. She used to work earlier but now she doesn't work, she says that she travels a lot because of this maybe she will work after some time There are a lot of homeless people here who are lying on the ground So friends, now I am going to a very special place for which I have come here especially. The place is nearby, it is about 1 kilometer walk We are roaming around a lot but we don't know where that place is I told her that you should check the directions on your mobile phone So it is telling me that I don't want to use my mobile phone here as it is not safe.
She is not taking out her mobile phone and is not letting me go out either. I just have my camera lying around and we are reaching there after asking people. Although the place is nearby but we are having a hard time finding it She too do not know about that place because She either come here very rarely or have never come here This is the center of the whole of Brazil, it is the oldest part here but still looks very beautiful, just look at it It seems as if we have come to some modern area. This old part of Sao Paulo also looks quite modern. This place looks super neat and clean to me The people who live here are quite poor There are a lot of police vehicles roaming around here. Look, a police vehicle has come.
Policemen are patrolling here back to back Look, a police car just left and another police car has arrived If there are no policemen here, then who knows what will happen here She is telling that the densest part of Sau Paulo starts from here You will see a lot of people and a lot of crowd here It starts here Ladeira Porto Geral As we move forward, the number of people here will increase And I have to be extra careful here. This is the complete slop, we are going from top to bottom, this is a complete decline There's a lot of music playing everywhere in all the shops So, She is saying... This is the most popular street of Sao Paulo She is telling me that you will get every item at this place. And you will get the cheapest rate of all Sao Paulo here. Meaning that it will be available at the lowest price and it is possible that its quality may not be that good she is telling me so People from different cities and states of Brazil come here for shopping.
