Last week was not an easy time to live in São Paulo.

Once more the city was hot like hell with no clouds in the sky to bring a little rain and refresh the weather. It was difficult to live, to speak, to eat, to sleep - I gave up on this last one a long time ago and now I just sleep on the floor (something that was great to my back, actually).

A horrible situation, indeed, but yet very attractive to those who live in countries where people spend most of the year inside of heavy coats (I heard that the cold weather will knock down London this week).

Now things have (finally!) returned to a “normal” state where you no longer need to cry for not being able to buy an air conditioner - and who lives in Brazil knows how expensive one of those bad boys can be.
