I had the good fortune of being able to share a helicopter to the airport from our hotel on my recent trip to Sao Paolo. What could have taken us up to 3 hours by taxi, took us about 15 minutes by air. Here's approximately 7 minutes of the journey. I was blown away by how expansive Sao Paolo, the world's third biggest city, actually is.

If that's not enough for you, I've uploaded a bunch of stills to a Flickr photoset as well...

Did you know that São Paulo has the largest Japanese population outside the country of Japan?

I did not know that. Its a pretty interesting place. I wish I had spent some time exploring the place. As it was, I really only got to spend time at the hotel - which was much like most other hotels.

My palms were sweating just watching the video. I could strangle those Wright brothers!
