I must have missed Porkies... dare I ask what it is?

I swear one of the mini-malls has changed it's name to Best Buy, and is even trying to imitate the logo.

I'll be damned if I can find a bluetooth keyboard in StandCenter though... much like trying to find anything in Santa Ifigenia. These places need some kind of product search engine!

DOnt you find that there are loads of beggers up north and you cant swim in the sea!

SP's beaches are just as nice.

Porkies (or porceaons(or something) is the best bbq rodesio in the world!

The Banispa Bank Building for the view of the city!!! takes two elevators to get to the top, where you take about 20 stairs outside WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not sure what part of town it's in though.Also Se Times Square and Se Cathedral, one block from church is internet cafe.

Curiously I noticed three Internet cafes on Av. Paulista yesterday (opposite MASP), all within metres of each other, and all trying to woo the public with some poor sandwich board guy outside.
