I Didn't Know São Paulo Was So Italian🇮🇹🇧🇷 (

  • São Paulo. The megacity of not just Brazil, but all of Latin America. If you're flying to Brazil, this is typically the only way in, and the only way out. I didn't quite know what to expect: we're used to hearing about favelas and robberies in the country, which leads one to imagine a disorganized city barely holding it together. That's not São Paulo. There's way more money here than you'd expect, and many parts looks as modern as anywhere else in the world. There's the largest Italian and Japanese diasporas in the world. It's a thriving city on the surface.
    But as always, the truth is more complicated than that.

    People are so blinded by the stereotypes and assumptions of a place that they forget to notice how deep, rich, and diverse their culture is. Brazil has the largest Italian, Japanese, and German communities (outside its own country of course). I grew up between the US and a small Brazilian town where half of the population was either Japanese or of Japanese descent. People still don't believe me when I explain why I am so familiar with Japanese culture.

My wife lived in a town in the north of the country where it wasn’t even necessary to speak Portuguese some 30 years ago.

      Like I said in another comment, the (bad) fame stuck with Sao Paulo due to the 80s and 90s. Sao Paulo was one of the most dangerous cities in Brazil back then. Many of us grew up or spent a good deal of our lives watching news about violence in Rio and Sao Paulo. It also helps that, due to the fact that its so big and a major economic hub, news related to violence in Sao Paulo are more often broadcasted to the whole country and this feeds the bias even further. But violence has declined sharply since then. The worst places in the country are, by far, in the North and Northeast of Brazil right now (when it comes to big cities). That doesn't mean Sao Paulo is completely safe, and also there are good and bad areas, but considering the country as a whole, São Paulo is a pretty solid place to be. I'm a brazilian and I always feel safe there. Just don't go flashing expensive smartphones around because that turns you into a target in any big city.

    Some wrong information here, first off, São Paulo has a muder rate of 4.9, while New York has a murder rate of 5.5, the reason most people say its more dangerous than it actually is is because brazilians have a bad tendency of thinking and saying this country is way worse than it actually is, i think that is due to us being accustomed to hearing propaganda from other places that makes them sound and look better than they actually are. And also Viracopos is in the city Campinas, wich is also in the *state* of São Paulo, but is a diferent city with its own metropolitan region
