Amo a cidade em que nasci, me criei e morei até 1998, quando me mudei para o interior, mas não tenho saudades do trânsito intenso e dos congestionamentos da cidade de São Paulo...

My mom could go crazy with that kind of traffic!
ReplyDeleteHere there are lots of cars too! And at certain hours driving is insane!

That's incredibly huge! There are more than three times as many people in your city compared to the entire 103,000-square-mile (268,000-square-kilometer) state in which I live! I bet it's a fabulous city, although the traffic does look frustrating.
ReplyDeleteThe moment you hear cosmopolitan or metropolitan be assured that they are talking abouot traffic indirectly:). Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHello Sonia! The traffic in the first picture is astonishing! We have heavy traffic here in Turin too, moreover there are many endless road works which create incredible traffic jams.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a very pleasant week-end :-)
The same the world over nowadays.....
ReplyDeleteno pleasure in driving at all........
Greetings and love to you from New York!
Buster sends a wag of his tail too.
I have in in Sao Paulo in 2006 and I know how much beautiful it is. Wonderful foto! Desejo que você tenha um fim de semana esplêndido! Felipe
ReplyDeleteQue susto!! Pensei estar acessando blogue errado!! (rs*) De antemão esperava ver as imagens lindas do lugar onde mora atualmente - não que estas imagens não esteja bonitas - foi só o susto mesmo! Também amo São Paulo e acho que já comentei aqui sobre isto! O Trânsito é um defeito desta cidade e se não houverem medidas mais drásticas, daqui a pouco ninguém tira o carro da garagem! Bom fim de semana! Beijus,
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a lot of traffic but then there are a lot of people. So, it makes sense.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting post.

Wow, that looks even worse than Seattle! Hopefully you don't have many "road rage" sort of incidents...
ReplyDeleteThe traffic here looks worse than Los Angeles, which is saying something....! We have no real "Rapid Transit" system here, and everything is so spread out....They say that the 405 Freeway is like a parking lot here---MOST OF THE TIME (OY)---just like that first picture of the traffic jam! I understand you not missing this, Sonia....lol! And you have so much beauty surrounding you in the country....more of Nature than is possible in the middle of such a crowded city, as wonderful as it is....!
ReplyDeleteMy Word Verification is "GLOWS"....!
By the way: That Video could be any "freeway" in Los Angeles. FRIGHTENING!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd this is progress....? (help)
Wow! That is a lot of traffic. And I thought it was bad around here.
ReplyDelete17 million...that's over 80% of australia's population in one city. it looks MAD! I saw a programme on brazil not too long ago, might have been discovery atlas, where they showed sao paulo's helipads. i guess that would be a neat way to travel :p
ReplyDeletethe people I most fear for, just looking at the video, are the motocyclists! 9 lives, at least.
tem um bom dia :) xox
"Parabéns pra você,
ReplyDeleteNesta data querida.
Muitas felicidades,
Muitos anos de vida!
Bjs.
* quiz fazer isso ontem, mas os acontecimentos no Rio de Janeiro, não me deixaram sair da televisão...
The traffic seems to be very organised Sonia. in India it is pretty chaotic
ReplyDeleteThere is even a motocycle traffic jam!!
ReplyDeleteE sabe o que é o mais lamentável? É que por aqui tem gente que acha que ainda temos poucos nas ruas. cada vez que ouço isso quero ser um cão e morder o louco e suas bobagens. Mas ficou com aquele sorriso maroto nos lábios enquanto penso "eu heim, vai que essa loucura seja contagiosa". rs
