Last night in Sao Paulo

Once again
before I know it
it's time to leave another city
Sao Paulo and its Paulistas have been too kind to me
The people I interacted with, held meetings with
they're such friendly and outgoing people
Met a Japanese Brazilian today
who truly inspired me
with his entreprenuer story
-how many of us have dreams which really did become reality?-
You need to have a sharp eye for market opportunities
and seize them before they slip away
perservere
and give something back to society
he's only 32.
For a quick second,
I thought about working on this side of the world,
but just for a fleeting second.
Should I really spend more time thinking about it?
Anyway, Helder is extremely helpful
together with his gf,
we went Havaianas shopping
and I bought 13 pairs of slippers!
There's more to get
but I paisay to let them wait for me to choose.
They also took me music shopping
Axe (pronounced as A-cher) music
Forro music
Samba
Such happy tunes
but some apparently tell of sad stories
I love this one by Kid Abhelha very much
'Quero te Encontrar'
'I want to meet/find you'
If music be the food of love,
play on.
Music, food, love, culture, language
this international experience
cannot be bought;
the ties I made
I'd cherish so much.
when will i be back in this part of the world again?
