Can we avoid violence in Sao Paulo? Not all of it, but at least a few rules must be observed
- Never ever wear jewels or expensive watches
- Do not use your cell phone on the street: it could be stolen (use it inside the hotel and when on the street, keep it in your pocket)
- Dress casually
- Understand that there is no "safe" time of the day, people could steal you phone at 3 in the afternoon
