The worker bee people in SP vs chill laid back people in Rio reminds me of my experience in Japan. Tokyo is super work oriented, while Osaka was so chill down to Earth laid back. Everything from the fashion, personalities, not being uppity etc. I prefer the laid back environment overall, even though Tokyo had it's special perks.
both are good, but generally Sao Paulo is better to live in, there are more options of things to do, things are of better quality, public transport... and Rio to stay for a few days, I enjoyed the beaches, the parties...!! And yes, Rio is very hot, even in winter, it's uncomfortable... in Sao Paulo in winter it can reach 8 degrees, or even less!
@@illestcatnnebraska7331 Not much, there are days when the air is great, and there are days when the air is bad... but it never reaches the worst level of pollution; it's always either great or decent... just like other cities here in Brazil, such as Rio de Janeiro.
Good video -- like your perspective on the two cities. I have been to Rio de Janeiro twice; but, it's been about 4 years. I visited São Paulo this May for 2.5 weeks and positively LOVED it. I really like Rio too; but, I prefer São Paulo. I went there thinking it would be NYC like Rio is Miami.....I think a more accurate description is that São Paulo is a mashup of NYC and LA. I say LA because this city is really spread out and densely packed like LA. NYC because it is the finance/art hub of Brazil. I was surprised that there were no real skyscrapers in Säo Paulo like there are in cities like Dallas, Houston, Chicago and, of course, NYC. I think the buildings top out at 40 stories down in Morumbi.....and in the ore central region of São Paulo 30 floors or so. My place in Pinheiros was 27 floors. You're spot-on about the museum aspect -- São Paulo is like NYC/LA in this respect. There are MANY really good, diverse museums here. I didn't even come close to being able to see all of them in my trip. Also, you're spot-on about the food. The food here is on-par with Mexico City DF for quality, choices and sheer numbers. I will be returning to São Paulo for a 3.5 week visit in November and early December. Looking forward to going down to Santos, seeing more museums & parks, trying more of the wonderful restaurants as well as watching the World Cup Group Stage matches with my Brazilian friends.
Dope video. Very informative. I'm beginning my DN journey Q1 2023 and def wanna spend 1-2 mos in Brazil. After watching your comparisons, I'm really torn.. I want beaches, laid back folk, fun energy, but I also like the idea of having an English-speaking network to tap into and also better infrastructure & amenities. Also feel dating is probably more straight forward in SP... less pros & hustlers I imagine.
I would say maybe Boston and Chicago, it’s can get cold and it rains a lot! But the infrastructure is very modern compared to Rio, also it’s more jobs in São Paulo
Interesting you video, but you simplify enormously the problem of violence in Rio. Just see the data, it is more important than what you felt personally! You have to have the real picture of a city and not just the small expereience you had! Do you know that in 2021 Rio had 300% more murders than São Paulo? Narco-traffic is enormous in Rio and it controls several areas of the city!
@@NomadRecruiter-AijalonWallace Quite often in Rio passersby are hit! Of course we can and we do change the danger by not going to Rio! The number of tourists in Rio are way down! Just see the growing number of Rio hotels being closed! Brazil has many other beautiful and interesting beach cities and towns!
In SP people work hard and party harder. If you love the nightlife, you will party from 12am to 12pm the next day. If you don't like nightclubs, Rio is better. Besides, you must know where to go in SP. The city has amazing hidden gems. Also, SP is more cultural and artsy. That said, Rio's beaches are unbeatable.
Acho que não é mais cultural e artístico não, ein. O Rio te muita cultura própria, músicas, próprias gêneros musicais próprios, ritmos próprios, vida noturna autêntica regada a muita música característica do próprio Río
@@pjlipi tô falando mais pela quantidade de programas culturais (peças, musicais, museus, exposições, bienal, concertos, shows, festivais, etc.) mesmo, não pela cultura local.
@@fredericobaami cara, acho que patrimônio histórico é cultural, muito difícil uma cidade sul-americana bater o Rio. Foi capital do Brasil por séculos, capital e capital do interior português. Única cidade das Américas a ser capital de um império é um reino. Fora o patrimônio histórico arquitetônico que nenhuma cidade do Brasil se compara. Talvez apenas Salvador. Fora todos os gêneros musicais próprios que nas eram no Río. Quanto a noite. Milhões de viajantes do mundo todo relatam ser a cidade mais vibrante onde já estiveram. E pior que a maioria nem conhece a região da barra da tijuca, que parece miami, é imensa, rica, desenvolvida, belezas espetaculares, quase sobrenaturais, com o conjunto barra/joá/pedra da gávea. Muito verde, maiores florestas urbanas do mundo. Mas são paulo e muito bom também, são paulo é maravilhoso, embora seu centro esteja um lixo de abandono, e muito mais perigoso que o centro do Río. Espero que os paulistas elejam kim kataguiri prefeito pra colocar o centro de São Paulo de volta no radar. Aí são paulo decolar mais ainfa
@@pjlipi cara, sou paulistano, mas morei durante anos no Rio e AMO tanto a cidade qto os cariocas, então acredite: não é por bairrismo que digo que SP é uma cidade mais cultural que o Rio. Não digo pela cultura local da cidade (música, costumes, comida etc), pq isso sei que é mais rico no Rio, com o Carnaval, o funk etc. Tampoco digo isso pelo patrimônio histórico da cidade, pois nesse quesito nenhuma bate Salvador e as cidades históricas de Minas (falando só de Brasil, pq se formos falar de América Latina, fica pequeno até pra essas). Digo somente pela quantidade de opções e a variedade da programação cultural da cidade. Como eu disse antes: peças, museus, filmes em cartaz, musicais, shows, festivais de música, óperas, concertos, exposições, bienais, virada cultural, feiras gastronômicas, centros culturais, etc. Aqui, se vc quiser fazer um programa cultural diferente em cada dia do ano, vc faz facilmente e sobra coisa pra ver. Em SP, vc pode ver arte literalmente sem sair do metrô, há exposições nas próprias estações. Quanto à noite, aí não tem comparação mesmo. Se vc quiser sair de balada numa terça-feira e voltar só na quarta ao meio-dia, aqui vc vai poder escolher aonde ir. Dito isso, se algum gringo me perguntar qual cidade brasileira ele deve conhecer, indico o Rio. Oq o Rio tem é único no mundo. Oq SP tem, megalópoles mais ricas têm melhor.
@@pjlipi realmente, o centro de SP ficou muito abandonado, descuidado e perigoso devido à pandemia, mas a situação tá começando a melhorar. E SP continua sendo a segunda capital mais segura do país (só perde pra Floripa). Kim Kataguiri jamais será prefeito daqui. Aqui em SP ele é motivo de piada. hahahaah Graças a deus!
They are supposed to be activated using your CPF card( similar to a SSC) but in most cases you can use your passport instead. FYI, healthcare is free in Brazil even for foreigners but I recommend you getting a travelers health insurance plan!
You could probably keep your videos to 10 minutes if you just eliminated all the times you say “you know”. If we knew we wouldn’t need to watch. Please take this as constructive criticism.
I think you offered good information. However, I couldn’t stand listening to you talk because you must have said, “you know” over 100 times. If you need time to get your thoughts together just pause. You would be much more enjoyable to watch and listen too.

I plan on going to SP my girl is Brazilian. Never been before. Good video one ❤️from London England
Very informative. Keep it up Wallace. 👍🏼
I couldn't decide between the business opportunities of Sao Paulo and the beauty of Rio so i choose both.

Great content thanks bro
Good work bro. 👍
What American city would you compare São Paulo’s climate too ? Looking for a southern climate like Florida or Texas
I would say maybe Boston and Chicago, it’s can get cold and it rains a lot! But the infrastructure is very modern compared to Rio, also it’s more jobs in São Paulo
@@NomadRecruiter-AijalonWallace thank you
The city has cultural, economic and political influence nationally and internationally.
My son stayed in Belo Horizonte now he is Sao Paulo he said its different from Belo Horizonte. He has been their for about three years....
we need dating in SP

@@joseluciocorrea1866 Oh I see. Would you say Sao Paulo is a safe city? I heard that even Sao Paulo can be dangerous.
Awesome video, I was wondering if I had to speak Portuguese to be able to enjoy living in parts of Brazil.
Yes, you would have to speak Portuguese. It would be disrespectful if you didn’t!

You didn't say WHY you had to go to co-working spaces in Rio? What was lacking? Was it the wifi speed? No desk space? What?
@@NomadRecruiter-AijalonWallace thanks
First two minutes in Sold.
Where can you get a sim card in rio? I've heard only locals can activate them....
They are supposed to be activated using your CPF card( similar to a SSC) but in most cases you can use your passport instead. FYI, healthcare is free in Brazil even for foreigners but I recommend you getting a travelers health insurance plan!
Rio if you want to chill with hot girls and take pictures with heavily armed bandits in the Favelas and Sau Paulo if you want business opportunities.
Which city do you think would be better for carnival? I'm single 35yrs old looking to party with some beautiful ladies
It has to be Rio or Salvador
@@heldersimoes856 thank you my brother 🙏 i haven't looked at salvador. Rio prices are crazy that week.
👍🏾
Rio is an outdoor city. Beaches, hiking, working out, street parties, etc. SP doesnt have the beaches and outdoor activities
I was super depressed in Rio… No one spoke English
So learn Portuguese?
What are you doing in brazil…
You could probably keep your videos to 10 minutes if you just eliminated all the times you say “you know”. If we knew we wouldn’t need to watch. Please take this as constructive criticism.
Little long winded, let's keep videos under 10. Constructive criticism , only goal to optimized your Chanel and the viewers experiences ,
How is it ok to mess up the pronunciation you are literally in Brazil lmaooo ask somebody great video btw

Why you repeat yourself. What do you mean they do call “us” gringos. You know the world is pretty big place, so who is us🤦🏽♂️
Resumo: Rio praia ,Sao Paulo trabalho.
Stop saying you know
