The São Pauloisation of Recife

Remember this? Well, seeing that a few months have past since I posted my lament about helicopters making their appearance in Recife, I can now attest to the fact that indeed Recife is increasing imitating its eminent neighbour to the south. There's a ton of construction going on in the city and this photo is of one of Recife's newest office towers. Yessir, these luxury offices come complete with an ocean view, armed security, and a snazzy helipad, for those of us for whom driving there just isn't good enough.
