Eighteen Million and Still Small
This past Sunday, I met up with a Brazilian friend at the very simple, yet very delicious, restaurant Bioalternativa in Cequeira César. Vegetarian and organic, Bioalternativa (which for residents or future travellers, also has a location in Higienópolis) is a wonderful little spot for a buffet lunch. Well, apparently so thought the rest of my friends in São Paulo. First we ran into the local coordinator of one of our organic agriculture projects. Good to see that that he lives by the spirit of the project! A few minutes later, another good Brazilian friend walked in for her late afternoon lunch and ended up joining our table as she was on her own. So there you have it: eighteen million people, thousands upon thousands of restaurant choices, and I manage to run into most of my São Paulo friends on a single outing to one restaurant!

damn, that place sounds delicious. i wish id know about it while i was still there, would have definitely checked it out. not sure if youre into lebanese food, but you should check out (if you havent already) Arabia, its on Rua Haddock Lobo. DELICIOUS and you can get alot of different dishes with no meat (not sure if youre vegetarian)
and i know what you mean about small world, that kind of thing would happen to me all the time. i had relatively few friends in sao paulo but id usually run into at least one person when id go out and my cousin was even worse, EVERY single time wed go out, hed run into like 3 or 4 people that hes knows.
Mmmmmmm ... I do know Arabia, but haven't been there in quite a long while. Maybe I should add it to this weekend's programme! Thanks for the reminder!
