My Sabbatical

Just like that, two and three months have passed since I decided to go to Brazil for my next adventure. And here I am on Wednesday, getting on a plane on Friday. I haven’t really packed – haven’t even decided what luggage to take. Before I know it, I will be off.

My destination for this trip is Sao Paulo. Sao Paulo is a city of 11 million inhabitants (up to 19 million if you count the suburbs), and is the largest city in the southern hemisphere, the second largest in all of the Americas, and the seventh largest city in the world.

The top 10 largest cities in the world are:

1. Shanghai, 13.8 MM (visited in 2010)
2. Istanbul, 13.1 MM
3. Karachi, 12.9 MM
4. Delhi, 12.5 MM
5. Mumbai, 12.4 MM
6. Moscow, 11.5 MM
7. Sao Paulo, 11.2 MM (visiting in 2011)
8. Seoul, 10.4 MM
9. Beijing, 10.1 MM (visted in 2010)
10. Jakarta, 9.5 MM

So in terms of large cities, I have only been to a few.

Of course, I will post thoughts and pictures up after my trip (and perhaps during if I can get reliable internet coverage.) Take care all, and see you soon!
