Day 1-3 Sao Paulo As I disembarked my plane in São Paulo, I took in the fresh air, never realizing that a single breath can fill my lungs with so much oxygen. This city is alive and the greenery scattered across the city are lungs, transporting vitality into every weary traveler into Brazil. My plane arrived at 6 AM. Instead of begging for an early check in at the hotel front desk, I used the Dayuse app and spent $40 on a hotel room at the city center from 9 AM - 6 PM. It was the perfect location because I had many tasks to run today. First matter of the day is to get a sim card. I took an uber to the Frei Caneca Shopping Center, booked via the hotel internet. Once there, if I don’t get a sim card, then I have no way of booking an uber to the hotel! My first stop was Loja Vivo, where two employees claim that their system is down for today but maybe will be up tomorrow. My Portuguese sucks so much that I can’t call them on their bullshit. As the saying goes “immigrants, we get the job done.” I went with plan B, the Claro store. 4 employees were working but none would even acknowledge me. When I finally got their attention, the lady asked if I had a CBF? Surprise Motherfucker!!! I made the effort to get a CBF before coming to Brazil. When I presented her with a print out copy of my CBF card, the lady said it is not good. I don’t understand her reason, again my Portuguese sucks. My heart dropped. I must have looked very sad. One employee took pity on me, she told me to go to the American store on the 3rd floor and buy a sim card and then she could set me up using only my passport. 10r for the sim card and 30r for 12 gig data, a Brazilian phone number, and ability to text. Woot woot, achievement unlocked! Gold Chest appears! To celebrate, 2 starbucks donuts to the lady and none to the other witches. Day 1-3 is filled with exploration, food, and working up the courage to go to Lagoa. I will jump ahead to what y’all want to read in the next update.

April 2023, these rates are what I was given at the following locations: Guarulhos Airport: 1 USD = 4.42r 👎 Western Union inside Frei Caneca Shopping Center (Store Sign reads "Tourismo & Cambio): 1 USD = 4.9r 👍 Hope at least 1 person finds this information useful

Throughout the years, my faith in people continues to erode away by sly individuals who takes advantage and ruin a good thing for everyone. I had also wonder why previous active members of this board no longer provide updates. I am sorry to see Slvkguy's goodwill being taken advantage of. Unfortunately, sly individuals exist in all walks of life and will continue to explore news schemes to enrich their uneventful existences. Trip reports are appreciated by many here and should not be ruined because the actions of a very very small minority. I hope many previous active posters make their return in the future, even if their reports contains less detail and more discretion.

Safe Travels. Hope you have some beautiful interactions during your trip.

Nope, haven't seen mine either.

This cover is only a big deal if they make it a big deal. Now it has became a big deal.

Unfortunately, according to the experts travel is still not recommended until herd immunity is achieved at your destination even after receiving the vaccine,.

2021 is already off to a great start with +2 Senate seats. I find myself grinning ear to ear since this morning. Trump is not on the ticket so the crazies decided to stay home.
