Arriving in Sao Paulo

The hotel was  only 15 minutes from the airport and coincidently we had the same driver from our arrival to BA.   We arrived in plenty of time and attempted to spend the leftover Argentinean  pesos based on  the current recommendations. Dump your pesos.
We arrived in Sao Paulo, a 2 hour flight.  Flying in, below looked like lego land with different size building, massive.  Miles and miles of lego land , different sizes, different colors yes even blue.    You fly over all of this before you finally land.  It is eerie. 
  Customs was easy enough however there was no driver to collect us as arranged prior.  The airport is well known to be mad house. People everywhere 
we made our way the information booth.  Thank god I have a translator on my iPhone.  They acted 
Ike they had never heard a foreign language before.  After some trial and error he called the hotel .  I also I must point out, that he also acted like maybe he had never seen numbers before.  We had to underline the phone number.  
The driver was an hour late, she came running in, apologised in English and we drove towards the city. They  came as a couple and he wore driving gloves  
Tryp  Iguatami
Between the massive amount of skyscrapers , the favelas we saw  and traffic on the way, the grafetti ; I have named Sao Paolo Gotham City.  Think of the Batman movie and how they portray Gotham in the cinema
