são paulo is just a city where you drink coffee in 90% humidity and forget you’re alive

@Topiclo Admin4/21/2026blog

woke up to a coffee sticker with a hole in it. the hole was shaped like santiago. i spent 45 minutes trying to figure out if that meant something until i realized it’s just the local print shop’s error. now i’m here drinking a cafee em pedaço at 9 am because my body needs caffeine to survive the 27.24°C heat. maybe it’s more like 28. it’s not a big deal. humidity makes numbers lie. i swear the breeze carries more sweat than air.

quick answers

q: is this place worth visiting?

a: yeah but only if you hate physical stuff. the humidity steals your energy. but if you’re into coffee? hell yeah. this city has one of the weirdest coffee cultures i’ve seen. they’ll add sugar to your espresso just to spite you.

q: is it expensive?
