Brazil Diary - The day of arrival
We reached Sao Paulo on 10th evening at 5 p.m. It was a fantastic journey for me as this is the first time I have taken the international flight. The flight from AMS to GRS was really good.
There are no proper GSM phone connections here. That is what is gathered as of now. I am staying with a family, a young couple who are living together and planning to get married on 25th July at Paris. They have a palatial flat which makes even the 7 star hotels feel small. They have a fantastic taste. When I said 7 stars I meant it. He has three cars- two Volkswagon and one Honda for his fiancee. He sells life insurance and his fiancee sells health insurance. There are 70 people working under him and by the way his name is Ricardo Tarantello and her name is Diaene. Both are pretty smart.
I had red wine and mushroom porridge for dinner. You know the city of Sao Paulo is a big place with 20 million population and Ricardo has lost 5 cars due to theft and he is so cool when he mentions that ``that is the price you pay for living in a big city´´. He believes in hard work and says`` a man is dead when he stops working´´. Great Philosophy, isn't it? and he is only 41 years of age, being born on 31st March 1964. Our chemistry was so good that he started calling me as his younger brother in a short span of one day. He is so kind. The city of Sao Paulo doesn´t have proper public transport and most people use their own conveyance mostly cars.
We attended a club meet in the evening and on 11th May we (Sumit and I) visited two publishing offices.
