That last pic makes São Paulo look like a maze.

Yes. It's the southern portion of Central São Paulo. Narrow streets, hilly terrain.

And more Downtown:

Oh and the street art is huuuuuuge, it's gotta take a lot of work and planning to do each one. I love this motorway you can walk down - are the buildings getting more 'canvased' because of it?

Yes! As I said, it's random pics, nothing to showcase the city. Some sort of my life here, really.

Yes. Variety of architectural styles are a São Paulo characteristic. Some might find it chaotic, but I learned to like it.

Yes. It became almost a public art gallery with worldwide famous artists such as Eduardo Kobra.

Note buildings from that period (1960's) have a façade completely free of windows because other building should be built glued on it. As newer legislations stopped that, they were left this way.

Now, with the São Paulo new urban code, buildings once again can be built touching each other, but only Downtown, if I'm not mistaken.

More nightlife! To me, it's the best in the world. It's simply endless, with so much energy, style, creativity:
