SWARMS FROM SÃO PAULO AND OTHER STATES IN BRAS by schurlif
This may or may not belong in the shopping section but I believe it does.... because I'm showing here how popular and sought after the clothing items of Bras are.Just about every day , so I was told , busses loaded with people from inner State of São Paulo ascend on Bras like swarms of locust.....to buy up , it seems , whatever they can..... The worst day is supposedly Saturday when the average John and Jane from cities up to 300 km away come for their shopping trip..... On other days it's just the owners of clothes shops , also from cities up to some 300 km away.....
The busses arrive , their human load disperses in all directions , leaving the drivers behind without anything to do , the busses are parked in just about every street... This shopping trips are organized by local travel agencies in those cities , so the shoppers have a certain amount of time , 3 or 4 hours to find what they're after.... Then they get back to the bus , load everything in the cargo department ( where the driver has been sleeping for a few hours ) and all that done and everybody back , off they go home with their prey.....
A nice day for the shoppers , an even nicer day for the cash registers in the shops.....Clothes.......
but there are a few shops in Bras that don't sell clothes or there are sidewalk stands selling CDs, DVDs ( all pirated products ) , sunglasses , chinese made toys contrabanded from Paraguay , even at times counterfeit alcoholic drinks that are popular , like Amarula , fruit licor from South Africa or Baileys Chocolate licor......
These products are not recommendable......
The clothes are......
