Was in November 2005 for a conference. I speak zero Portugese, so I was very fortunate to be at the conference with my colleagues from Sao Paulo.

The city itself is as it was described; a very planned city. I can’t say that it was a spectacular city – it was quite like many capitol cities. Architecture was a mix of authoritarian government-style buildings lining the boulevard in the government sector and fairly modern structures in the commercial areas.

I’d go back to hopefully see more of the city and areas where people actually live.
