Bus Trip to Sao Paulo
Arrived here in Sao Paulo this morning. My bus trip did not like up to my expectations - no free food.
Ciudad del Este, Paraguay has shops that sell a lot of cheap (read
mostly stolen) consumer goods, especially electronic goods. After thirty minutes on our bus, we were stopped at a customs checkpoint. A large bag was being given special attention and the owner had to open it for the customs officers. As the whole bus watched he produced over 25 CD-ROM drives, mice and other computer equipment. There must have been over at grand's worth there. After arguing for a time, he just left the stuff there and came back on the bus. A lot of money down the drain and I'm sure all the equipment was passed on to the relevant departments!
Coming to towards the outskirts of Sao Paulo (its the worlds third largest city with 17m people in the greater metropolitian area), the bus driver came down and sat alongside me. With his small frame, he didn't encroach on my space or certainly didn't snore loudly at all!!
