For my first full day in Sao Paulo, I mostly walked around and explored the area more without any real agenda. I went by the Pinocoteca (Brazilian art museum) and the surrounding Parque Jardim de Luz. I gotta say, the highlight of my day was finding an outdoor gym with equipment made out of stones and cement. I was pretty shocked when I saw it, but since I was in shorts and a tank top and hadn't worked out for a couple days, I got a nice little workout in! I will definitely be back tomorrow as well. It smells SOOOOO good when walking around. I have yet to indulge in any real local foods, but I will tomorrow. I have some good recommendations from a couple of friends who have been here. Everything is very cheap here and the people are friendly. There are quite a bit of homeless and I've been warned multiple times to be vigilant, not have my phone out constantly, etc. I knew coming here that it was a place to exercise much more caution than most places I've visit...
Awesome, Cliff - Annyeonghaseyo!! Hopefully you’ve read, or at least heard about, MacArthur’s famous behind enemy lines 1950 Inchon Landing, which saved South Korea in the war! I hope/assume you’ll make it to the BIG city and, if there’s time, I’d recommend a tour of Panmunjom at the DMZ. It’s right across the line from the North Korea in a very stressful setting. Either way, enjoy some bulgogi and real ramen!! Back in the day, street food offerings I enjoyed included a bag of fried shrimp for about 100 won, which was equivalent to $.25! I don’t know the exchange rate these days but I’m sure that price is gone up as with everything else. Enjoy the rest of your trip and safe travels when you finally head home!!
ReplyDeleteHey Son, great pictures of south Korea! Cool to read what uncle Gary wrote. You guys will have more to talk about once you get home. Can't wait to see you!, love you
ReplyDeleteI’ve missed your pictures the last several days. Looks like no shortage of food or shopping. I hope you’re having a great time. I know you’re probably trying. Lots of new foods. Enjoy!
