"Things I Take For Granted...part 3"

Being able to get in my car and drive where I want to, when I want to, and with who I want to.

Sao Paulo has dedicated lanes for buses and unlike what you may see in Canada they do not come every 15 minutes. They come constantly! As fast as people can get on or off the bus there is another one waiting. It is a continuous parade. For a large part of the population it is the only reasonable way to get around the city.

"Things I Take For Granted...part 2"

Space....

The city of Sao Paulo has 2 million more people than the Netherlands and as such they are stacked on top of each other.





These are taken from the office tower that I work in. Fortunately they have not yet disturbed the Catholic Church you see in the foreground. With this many people they need to have 7 masses every Sunday, and so they do!

"Things I Take For Granted....part 1"

We, or at least I, take a lot of things for granted living in Canada. In brazil it is mandatory to have this sign posted by every elevator.
