| A cupcake, Jim, but not as we know it |
Yesterday (Sunday) went with Luiz and his brother to a French-owned wine shop offering a few free sips of it's extremely expensive (ie probably extremely overpriced like other things here) French wines. Pleasant woman owner, clearly living a comfortable life here. Despite the problems she loves Sao Paulo and misses it when back in France. Then on to an annual street party in Jardin Europa. Well, not really a street party, more of a commercial event to promote the mainly interior design and furnishings shops there. Free Chandon (a local version of Moet Chandon) Champagne, cupcakes (pretty but tasted more like muffins), macaroons, nuts etc. Music, nice atmosphere. Reminded me of the endless functions I used to go to years ago as a journalist and how quickly you take for granted all the freebies Also made me realise again how the wealthy in Sao Paulo live in a different world. Price tags for tables, chairs and rugs were eye-popping, thousands of pounds. Still, it was fun to enjoy some crumbs from the feast.
