... because that´s how it feels, big. It´s huge and I wonder if I´ve ever been somewhere this big, maybe Tokyo. First impressions are it seems to be a tough city, and you need your wits about you, but a lot of people have been genuinely nice already. I´m spending three nights here in the Vila Madalane region, which is supposed to be quite bohemian and certainly has a lot of bars and restaurants, but it is still surrounded by high-rises in every direction.
Whenever I arrive somewhere I try to get from the airport to the hostel the cheapest way possible, avoiding shuttle buses and taxis which are expensive. In this case it meant taking one urban bus, three underground trains, and then walking a mile - it is certainly one way to see the city. I´m about to head out for some food, then maybe I´ll siesta - a nice South American habit - then maybe return out to see what´s really on offer.
