Lets read about a Brazilian City

So Paulo is the largest city in South America and the third


most populous of the world, with more than 10 million
inhabitants who speak Portuguese. It is the economical
capital of Brazil and a very busy place. It is also the richest
in culture, parks and museums. The main tourist attractions
in the city include the different neighborhoods with their
special Italian, Japanese or Arabic influence. There are lot of
museums, theatres and clothes shops too. There are some
fantastic shopping centres too. The city is famous for having
the tallest building of Brazil such as Mirante do Vale, Edifcio Itlia, Banespa, North Tower and
for its beautiful and exotic beaches and islands.
The city has a monsoon-influenced humid subtropical climate. In summer (January through
March), the mean low temperature is about 17 C (63 F) and the mean high temperatures is
near 28 C (82 F). In winter, temperatures tend to range between 11 and 23 C (52 and 73 F).
Sao Paulo has the largest underground transportation system in Brazil the Metro. However, it
is not as comprehensive as the trains in Europe or North America but it covers the most
important areas.
I think its a very interesting and awesome place to visit!
