I will be spending a few days in Sao paulo(Wireless internet available in Hotel)
but then will be spending aprox 10 days in an apartment in Santos.
I would like to be able to have wireless internet so does anybody have any suggestions on companies and packages. I have my own wireless modem.
Thanks
Here are a few companies that provide the service:
VIVO - www.vivo.com.br (click on "Internet" icon for packages)
CLARO - www.claro.com.br (choose "São Paulo demais DDDs", then "Banda Larga 3G pós-paga para computador")
OI - www.oi.com.br (check "Oi Velox 3G" icon for packages)
Thank you for those...
Problem is they are all in Portuguese..
Which one would you recommend?
I assume that once I get there I will be able to find stores
all over the place..is that correct.??
Just something to think about, and I am not sure if things would work out this way, but, being Brazil, might it not take a while to get something up and running, and then would it be worth it for only 10 days? Wouldn't it be less hassle to get an apartment in Santos that already has service working or go to an already set up wifi spot?
Setting up is not a problem...if you have a usb wireless modem all you need is
a simcard and a package. Have done it elsewhere but dont understand Postuguse.
Its a matter of putting in the simcard, usually callling a number and its done.
I was just wondering which company is the most reliable.
One other thing then.......if the simcard is like what you would buy for a cell phone, people have reported that they either can't buy one, or buy it and can't activate it, without a CPF number (Brazilian ID number). Some stores that sell phone chips can supply a CPF to use if asked. (Better to be prepared than disappointed, IMO, esp. in a language you don't understand.)
Maticeva33,
1) Yes, you´ll find stores everywhere, so maybe it´s a good option to look for it when you´re here. The problem is that theses stores are usually crowded, so you´ll probably waste some time with this matter.
2) The 3 companies I´ve mentioned are reliable. All of them have advantages and disadvantages, so it´s just a matter of finding the best prices really.
In keeping with Portuguese and Brazilian traditions, many of São Paulo's pavements are covered in black and white mosaics with various repetitive designs. Although not quite as spectacular as Copacabana and Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo's designs are nevertheless beautiful and add a touch of art to the streets of the metropolis. Attached are three examples of such designs.
If you manage to visit before June 2nd, 2002, you must see the Bienal. In it's 25th year, it is the oldest in the World after Venice's.
To the uninitiated, certain cities around the World hold these festivals of contemporary art, generally loosely organized around a central theme. The theme of this year's São Paulo Bienal is 'Metropolitan Iconography'
Get there and see it. More info at: http://bienalsaopaulo.terra.com.br/
If you can't manage it, I'll see you at Documenta XI in Kassel, Germany! http://www.documenta.de/documenta_gruen.html
hundreeds thousands shops around this area near Sao Bento,would have looked at all the shops all day but soon started raining,I dont like much shopping in rain so just jumped on a bus which took me to this internet cafee which is where I am writing this now. Anything you can think of you can buy here..
Filipa from outside is not telling much and you would probably miss it in passing by. Once inside you realise after some time how much thought was spent on every detail: Light, colors, the 2 level bar, the chairs, the art -
the food obviously is matching this genuine search for quality and hospitality. They prepare food combinations you probably have never heard or imagined before. They also have a in-house bakery, which is preparing Italian style fresh bread !
You most likely will have to make a reservation on the weekends. The Rio Style Shrimps with rice and fruits. And the "sopremesa" mango.
I tried a Caipirinha with Lychees and Sake for the first time in this restauant.
Everything in the restaurant is for sale: the dishes, the furniture, accessories ... It looks like an antique shop and the tables are candlelit. Very romantic with great food. It's better to reserve.
